Better balance training
SlackBoard stretches a real GIBBON SlackLine across a curved wooden base. The low-profile design keeps you close to the ground, so stepping off is easy. The lines move under your feet, so your feet, ankles, knees and core make constant small corrections. That is what builds stability, coordination and focus.

Made for Families
One Board for Everyone
Coordination and focus, disguised as play
Kids build balance, coordination and confidence while they play. It's a screen-free way to burn off energy, and the low profile makes for an easy step down.
“Originally looking for additional ways to add balance and body awareness for our budding young athlete, the SlackBoard has become the family toy of choice.”
Paul L.
A few minutes a day for balance and core
Fit quick sessions into your day: an active break between meetings, a balance challenge while you watch TV, or a full workout with the free app.
“Super engaging and great way to work on balance and core strength. Low profile and fits perfectly in my house.”
David H.
Trusted by athletes and performance coaches
Strengthen stabilizer muscles, enhance body awareness and sharpen reaction time. Coaches use it to add balance games and challenges to every session.
“I bought this for my gym and my clients have gone nuts over it! We use it everyday and play little balance games.”
Jason M.
Stay steady and confident
Train your balance close to the ground and at your own pace, so daily activities feel easier. Start with the guided beginner videos and progress as you improve.
“I am over 65! I bought one for myself (love it) the tutorials online are great. Progress is fast! Targets balance and core - very versatile.”

Both of my kids (age 9 and 3) are in love with this pack! The board is the perfect size for my younger one to get used to the slackline and gives my older child the freedom to practice her tricks. After their first session, my older daughter read the book to my younger one, and it was the perfect way to calm down after a busy week.
Love it!!
Love the Gibby Big Emotions Bundle! My son is entering kindergarten in the midst of us moving so there has been a lot of chaos and change, which has been hard on him. I saw an ad on Instagram about tantrums and thought I would give it shot to help with the meltdowns. The adorable book that explains having big emotions and tools to self-regulate break it down easily for a child. The cute gibby toy and themed board make the focus on balance fun. The board is high quality and easy to use right out of the box. Would highly recommend this bundle for kids.
We got the Gibbon Slackboard for my daughter, and it’s been such a great surprise. She loves playing on it, and I’ve actually noticed it helps her calm down when she’s upset or overwhelmed. A few minutes balancing seems to reset her mood. It’s fun, easy to use, and has turned into a really helpful tool for both play and emotions.
FAQ
Can I use it at a standing desk?
Yes. The two-line SlackBoard Plus is a great fit for a standing desk, with a wider, more stable platform for balancing while you work.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes! Through our partner Truemed, qualified customers can pay with HSA or FSA funds at checkout.
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 long should I use it each day?
Even a few minutes a day makes a difference. In an 8-week UCLA study, people who added 15–20 minutes of SlackBoard training three times a week improved their balance more than people who trained with other balance trainers. Read the study.
Is it right for me if I’m older, a beginner, or recovering from an injury?
Absolutely. SlackBoards are made for all ages and ability levels, from kids and first-timers to seniors, and they're used in physical therapy and rehab settings.
Want a little more stability? The two-line SlackBoard Plus gives you extra support, and you can add a SlackBoard Pole for a steady point of contact while you build balance and confidence.
Is the SlackBoard good for beginners?
Absolutely! The SlackBoard sits low to the ground, so if you lose your balance, you just step off and try again.
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 a free app?
Yes. The free GIBBON app includes 100+ training videos with programs for kids, adults, and seniors. It’s available on iOS and Android, with no subscription required.
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.
Should I get the single-line SlackBoard or the two-line SlackBoard Plus?
The single-line SlackBoard is a great choice if balance training is your main goal. Even a few minutes a day challenges your balance while working your lower body and core.
Want more stability and versatility? The SlackBoard Plus comes with two lines for a wider, more stable platform. Most first-timers find it easier to get started on, and it’s great for workouts, squats, standing desks, kids, and older adults. You can also easily switch to a single line when you’re ready for more of a challenge. It’s like getting two boards in one.
What is your returns policy?
We’re confident you’ll love your SlackBoard. If it’s not the right fit, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, minus return shipping costs.
Shopping for the holidays? We’ve extended our return window, so purchases made between October 15 and December 31, 2026 can be returned through January 31, 2027.
What is your warranty policy?
We offer a 2-year warranty on all GIBBON products, which covers manufacturing defects or failure caused by normal use.
What's included?
Your SlackBoard arrives fully assembled with the line already installed, so you’re ready to get started. It also includes the Roll and Lock dowels, line clip, and tensioning rod.
What’s the weight limit?
For the best performance, we recommend 400 lb (181 kg) or less. Heavier users may find the line loses tension a little faster, which is normal and easy to fix by re-tensioning.
Who is the single-line SlackBoard for?
It's a great choice if balance training is your main goal. Even a few minutes a day challenges your balance while working your lower body and core.
FAQ
How do I switch between one and two lines?
The SlackBoard Plus and SlackBoard Pro come with two lines installed and include a single-line clip, so you can easily switch between two-line and single-line setups. Check out our Training page for step-by-step conversion videos.
How is the SlackBoard Plus different from the single-line SlackBoard?
The SlackBoard Plus comes with two lines, creating a wider, more stable platform. It’s a versatile option for balance training, workouts, kids, standing desks, and anyone who wants a little more stability. Want more of a challenge? Use the included single-line clip to convert it to a single-line setup.
