Dear Dan Doyle:
Yo Double D. I need some help. So for my birthday (March 22nd! w00t) I want to get a surf balance trainer kinda like the one you had in your basement. Can you recommend me a brand? I know yours is like a rolling tube, but I was thinking about getting one with a ball or even something more advance so you have to balance in multiple directions... any ideas?
Yea, they have those, I've used them at the gym before, but as far as brands i'm not sure what to tell you, I'll try to find a page with balance training stuff. In fact, it would probably make more sense if I got that page before posting this, but c'mon, @#%$ that, i'm gonna make this as hard as possible.
These are both balance trainers like ones I've used. Basically the idea is that you put yourself on this bubble and it is a @#%$ bitch to keep yourself balanced, particularly while doing other exercises. Another option is a wobble board, which is a little closer to the board I have, and looks like this: www.amazon.com/Fitball-Cl...588&sr=1-1
The wobble board is strictly balance training, the other two are meant to bring balance in as a factor while doing other kinds of training. That's about all I've got for you, let me know if I can help in any other way.
