Surfer, Hunter Joslin, with more than 40 years of surfing experience, developed the Indo Board Balance Trainer over a 30 year span beginning with the first proto-type in 1975.

Originally designed to train surfers out of the water, Mr. Joslin 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 while experiencing a high degree of entertainment when using the Indo Board.

The Indo Board Balance Trainers are simple, stable, and user friendly.

Anyone can ride with a few basic instructions and something or someone to hold on to for support.

The learning curve is 10 to 15 minutes for most, after that, Indoboarding becomes routinely easy and fun.

Although this form of exercise may not be suitable for everyone, I would recommend that you consider it and determine if it might be right for you.

Finding fun and innovative ways to incorporate exercise into our daily life is a necessary part of an Age Management Medicine program.
