I'm nearly in tears because my gaming obsessed 13 year old has found a new distraction! He is super into improving his balance skills and has even taken to being on the board while we have family movie night.

They hop on it every chance they get - burning lots of energy indoors this winter! Was such a hit we got one for nieces and nephews too!

Rebecca M.Verified buyer

★★★★★

Kids love this board, it's part of their daily routine. They're competing against each other on who can balance on it the longest. The kids don't even realize they're working out.

Parent questions

Good to know

What age is a Whirly Board for?

Any age, from 1 to 99. New to balance? Hold a hand or something sturdy at first until you feel confident.

Which board should we start with?

Most families start with the Whirly Sport 360°, our original and lowest-priced board. Pick the Whirly Complete if your kid loves a new challenge: it has five setups, all the way to the Roller. The Desk Rider's wider deck suits bigger kids and teens.

Can a kid and a grown-up share one board?

Yes. The Sport 360° holds up to 350 lb and the Desk Rider up to 400 lb. The Whirly Complete holds up to 400 lb (350 lb on the green MagLock3 ball).

Where should they ride?

On carpet, a rug or a Whirly mat. Hard floors can be slippery, so give the board some grip underneath.

How long does a custom board take?

Every custom board is made to order, and we confirm the design with you before we make it. For Christmas, order as early as you can.
