We have had some requests for a wider version of the Whirly Board and here it is! The NEW Whirly Wide has everything you love about the original Whirly Board but designed to be more comfortable for long term use at a standing desk, or for those with larger feet that know the consequences of “toe drag”! The original Whirly Board is pretty cool, but we will let you in on a little secret: This one is even better!
Wider
The 10” Whirly Wide Standing Desk Balance Board platform provides more surface area underfoot. We designed this board with comfort in mind making it a little bit easier to balance. Use it at your standing desk or its great for those with larger feet.
Shorter
With a total length of 28” you can stand with a narrower and more comfortable stance allowing you to get the full advantage of all three balance points. This design is ideal for use as a standing desk balance board with a less athletic stance.
Classier
The eco-friendly cork rubber grip tape depicts the Teton Mountain range of Wyoming. It goes across the middle of the board raising the bar one notch higher. Add a mountain view to your office this year and keep your skills sharp at your standing desk.
It Still Rips
Even though this board is a little wider and a little easier, you can still get after it by practicing all the spins and tricks you have been thinking about. It’s never a bad idea to take a moment to wobble away from your standing desk and throw a backside 1080 to reset and get those creative juices flowing again.
Construction

Standing Desk Mat
Whirly Boards and Whirly Mats go together like peanut butter and jelly. Your board can be used anywhere on any surface with our highly durable recycled rubber mat. You can now protect your board and floors in style with a Whirly Board Mat…all sized differently based on functionality.
Made From Recycled Materials
Whirly mats are made from recycled rubber tires and offer the perfect blend of traction and durability. They provide an optimal surface for using the Whirly Board. Good traction allows you to stay in control and not spin into your coworker’s cubical or during workouts, but it also allows you to safely practice standing desk exercises, twisting and stretching. Both the center ball and end balls will spin nicely on the rubber material.
Whirly Mat Sizing
The extra 1/8″ thickness of rubber cushion under your feet will help with anti-fatigue, allowing you to stand longer and be more comfortable all day at your standing desk. Use your Whirly Mat in collaboration withy your sit-stand desk and Whirly Board to make a footrest. It helps when you want to occasionally sit down but still want to keep your feet active and ankles stretched. The mat will help prevent your board from slipping out underneath you while at a chair. (our new stabilizing ring also helps a lot with this)
We also offer a lifetime manufacturer guarantee on all of our Whirly Mats and Whirly Boards.
35″ wide x 24″ tall
The size of the standing desk Whirly Mat will provide just enough area for getting work done while keeping active at your standing desk.
Stabilizer Ring
The Whirly Board Stabilizer Ring was designed and created to accompany the Whirly Board balance board. It is a semi-rigid rubber ring with a harness of 90A allowing it to be slightly flexible. It provides the right amount of traction between the ring and the hard plastic center ball to offer some support without hindering motion. The ring was originally intended to help standing desk users who wanted to sit down for a while, but continue actively moving their legs and feet on the Whirly Board. The problem that occurs by sitting down and placing your feet on the board is lateral pressure that causes the board to slide away from your chair. The ring provides a receptacle for the center ball that keeps the boards location stationary, but still allows motion in all directions.
The whirly board stabilizer ring serves as “training wheels” for new users getting used to the feel of a Whirly Board.
It is still highly recommended to hold onto something stationary like a countertop or desk while getting started, even with the ring. It can still feel like a challenge, but once you find your balance the ring will help you maintain it easier and for longer. The center ball remains in contact with the ground, but the ring adds just a little bit of friction if you start to shift, this offers a subtle assistance controlling the motion
Beginners: The stabilizer ring helps maintain balance and get the feel for the board if you are just getting started. It is still recommended to hold onto something stationary while trying this balance board for the first time. With the stabilizer ring properly in place, once you find your balance it will be easier to maintain balance for longer periods of time.
While developing and testing the ring, we also found that it can be used and appreciated by more advanced users for fitness routines.
In this application, the ring again serves as a receptacle to help hold the board in place for fitness moves like push ups or mountain climbers. While the ring helps the board maintain its location, it does not hinder general movement. It still provides the core strengthening challenge of maintaining balance through the workout, but prevents the frustration of the board sliding away from you during your routine. Helpful ideas for these moves and more can be found in our free workout video on our Youtube channel.
Sit/Stand desk: Keep your legs moving even while sitting down to increase blood flow and prevent fatigue. Or give yourself a break while standing up by reducing the difficulty to maintain balance.
Fitness Routines: The Stabilizer ring helps the Whirly Board maintain its location by preventing any lateral sliding. Even while held in place by the ring, the board still provides the core strengthening benefits of maintaining balance and does not hinder the dynamic 3 dimensional motion of the board.
Use it anywhere: By providing a solid receptacle for the center ball, The Whirly Stabilizer ring allows you to balance just about anywhere. It also provides a home base for the board to rest on while not in use at a work station or gym.
