Si Boards balls are solid urethane and do not have air, gel or sand filling. Made as one complete ball avoids any seams or valve stems that break with continued use. Your ball will last a lifetime and is ready for you to put it to the test with hard riding and repetitive slamming.
Ball Selection Depends On The Following:
Balance board selection- smaller balls work best with smaller boards
Skill level- beginners might consider a smaller ball and progress to larger balls
Strength- if using as a medicine ball beginners might consider a lighter/smaller ball
Smaller Balls:
Quick and responsive
Require less strength to control the momentum
Keeps you close to the ground which requires more fine tuning of your movements
Allows a rider to easily stop
Better for beginner riders who may not feel comfortable being high off the ground
Bigger Balls:
Slower and heavier
Requires more strength to control the momentum
Allows riders greater board tilt which creates bigger leg and arm movements
Keeps the board higher off the ground which may be intimidating for beginner riders
Suggested intermediate and advanced riders progress to a larger ball size
