Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SlackBoards, SlackBoard Plus and SlackBoard Pro?
The SlackBoard Pro is built for gyms, sports performance facilities, and physical therapy clinics. Like the SlackBoard Plus, it switches between one and two lines, and it has larger neoprene pads on the bottom for added durability and grip.
What is a SlackBoard?
The SlackBoard is our original full-size, single-line balance board. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to challenge their balance, build strength and coordination, and progress their balance training.
What is a SlackRack?
No. The SlackRack is freestanding, so no trees or anchors are required.
The SlackRack sets up at 7 or 10 feet right out of the box. Want more length? The SlackRack Extension (sold separately) takes it up to 13 feet. The line sits about 12 inches off the ground.
Which GIBBON product is right for me?
For balance and core training at home, start with a SlackBoard. It’s compact, easy to use, and works indoors or outside.
Want the feel of slacklining without needing trees? Choose a SlackRack for a freestanding setup you can use indoors or outside, or a SlackYard for a backyard setup on grass.
Have two trees? Go with a classic SlackLine.
Is there research behind the SlackBoard?
Yes. In an 8-week UCLA study, people who trained on a SlackBoard improved their balance more than those who trained with conventional balance training tools. Read the full study on our Science page.
How big is the SlackBoard, and how much does it weigh?
The SlackBoard is compact and easy to move or store.
- Dimensions: 42" L x 11" W x 5.5" H
- Weight: 7.5 lb (3.4 kg)
How much does the SlackRack weigh?
The SlackRack sets up at 7 or 10 feet right out of the box. Want more length? The SlackRack Extension (sold separately) takes it up to 13 feet. The line sits about 12 inches off the ground.
Total weight: 62 lb (28 kg)
Is the SlackBoard safe?
Yes. The low-profile design keeps you close to the ground, so if you lose your balance, you can simply step off. The line creates a gentle bouncing effect that’s easy on your joints.
Is there any setup required?
Nope! Your SlackBoard arrives fully assembled, with the line already installed and tensioned. Just unbox it and step on.
Every board includes a tensioning dowel and instructions to re-tension anytime. The SlackBoard Plus and Pro also include everything you need to switch between one- and two-line setups.
SlackRack: About 15 minutes. The frame uses only one type of screw, and the length adjusts to 7 or 10 feet. No extra tools needed. Everything you need is in the box.
