Here is the whole 'menu' of 'boards' and such this place has. It's pretty cheap and fair w/shipping etc.

Thing is...don't do this without professional instruction.... safety if foremost in the use of these things, especially if YOU are wobbly! It becomes more important then! - j |
this is the one that I have.
click on this, you'll see the guy demonstrating it.
That's how I learned what to do on mine.

I can turn around, and balance on one foot. I brought it over to my friend's last night and we all got hysterical. Some of them got on it, some wouldn't go near it.
For balancing, this is the one of the best things I could have ever done. I have no problems whatsoever with balance. I don't have to hold on to anything.
Once I get really good at this, I want to get the newer ones, where it's like a skateboard with this rolling thing underneath and you go from side to side.
That one is VERY different from a wobble board but it's a great exercise.
But little steps one at a time.
Now if Alan would only try this, (while holding on).
We'll all probably have a great laugh at the next PN support group meeting.
I'll try and take pictures.
