The Indo Rocker takes balance training to a whole new level! The board is slightly curved making it a "reverse chamber" deck bottom. Since it is not a flat board, less of the board is in contact with the roller which makes balancing more challenging and makes it possible to practice advanced board tricks like 180 or 360 spins.Indo Board vs. Surf TrainersYou might be familiar with surf trainers that only proved side to side movement.

Indo Balance Board Reviews
Indo Board has been around for a long time and it's no surprise that the company has built such a strong reputation with the quality of their products. Indo Board is the brand that many professional athletes turn to for balance training but it is just as popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Indo Board balance boards all have nearly 5 out of 5-star rating on Amazon and it's difficult to find someone that did not have a positive experience. Some of the highlights from user reviews include:
- Fun and enjoyable workout
- Responsive customer service
- Very sturdy and high quality
- Easy to store and does not take up much room
- Great for all ages and the whole family
- Great core and leg workout
From the negative experiences  I could find, the main complaint was an injury. This is a product that you are using at your own risk. This is also why I recommend starting with the Original Package with Foam Kit. The foam kit will let you work your way up and build up your balance ability. If you jump right onto the full-size roller you without prior experience your risk of injury will increase.
Where to Buy Indo Board
You can buy any Indo Board product through IndoBoard.com. I recommend buying directly from the manufacturer rather than a third party like Amazon. This way you can be confident you are receiving a high-quality product and when you buy from IndoBoard.com you have many more customization options.
