Handcrafted wooden balance boards designed for everyone, from fitness enthusiasts to rehabilitation patients. Delivered to your door anywhere in South Africa.
At Balance Boards by Alpha Designs, we craft premium wooden balance boards that combine functionality with artistry. Founded in 2018 by professional surfer Michael van der Merwe, our company started with a simple mission: to bring the benefits of balance training to everyone.
Our journey began when Michael needed a way to keep his surfing skills sharp during flat days. He created his first balance board from locally sourced yellowwood and quickly realized its potential beyond surf training.
Today, we handcraft each board in our Cape Town workshop using sustainable South African hardwoods. We take pride in creating balance boards that not only improve your fitness but also serve as beautiful pieces of functional art.
Our commitment to quality craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and community support drives everything we do. When you purchase a Balance Boards by Alpha Designs product, you invest in local craftsmanship and environmental sustainability.
Our wooden balance boards offer superior durability, better grip, more natural feel, and environmental sustainability compared to plastic alternatives. Additionally, wood provides the perfect balance of flex and stability for optimal training.
For beginners, start with 5-10 minutes daily, gradually increasing to 15-30 minutes as your skills improve. Quality practice matters more than duration, so focus on proper form and controlled movements.
Yes! Children as young as 5 can use our Beginner’s Edge model with adult supervision. Balance training helps kids develop crucial motor skills, coordination, and confidence. We recommend adult supervision for all children under 12.
Clean your board with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity. Apply furniture wax every 6-12 months to maintain the wood’s beauty and protection.
Our standard balance boards safely support users up to 150kg. For heavier users, we offer custom reinforced models – please contact us for details.
With proper care, our wooden balance boards typically last 10+ years. We’re so confident in our craftsmanship that we offer a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
