Football, basketball, tennis, hockey, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse and inline skating all utilize the same core muscles that provide functional reflex strength, which the Indo Board uniquely focuses on. The Indo Board can be used wherever an open 6’ surface area is available, indoors or out (a carpeted area is recommended for beginners). The learning curve for most enthusiasts is about 5-15 minutes to master basic control of the device. For those ready to progress to a higher performance level, or for taller Indo Board enthusiasts, the larger Indo Pro model provides increased surface area on the board, thus making it a more challenging and entertaining ride. |

Surfer Hunter Joslin, with 38 years of surfing experience, developed the Indo Board during a 25 year span, starting with the first proto-type in 1975. Originally designed to train surfers out of the water, Joslin quickly discovered from his growing cadre of loyal Indo Board fans that the apparatus was much more than a surfing simulator. Users reported increased leg strength and core fitness, as well as flexibility while experiencing a high degree of entertainment when using the Board. In 2000, Joslin decided to market the Board commercially, developing a web site and distribution channel and taking the fitness tool to surf and fitness oriented trade shows. |
