Intended Use​
The turtleboard® is a professional piece of sports equipment (not a toy) that is suitable for training balance, coordination and strengthening various muscle groups. People with (pre-) illnesses should expressly only use the turtleboard® after consulting their doctor / therapist.

When using the turtleboard®, keep a sufficient distance from objects (radius of at least 2.5 meters), especially if you are not yet familiar with the board. Beginners should get a firm hold or use the turtleboard® with the help of a partner. In any case, you should read and follow the detailed safety instructions!

General care instructions
For cleaning and maintenance, we recommend that you clean your turtleboard® with a damp cloth in combination with a mild cleaning agent, if necessary. It is important to wipe it with a dry cloth after this cleaning. Otherwise, the turtleboard® does not require any special maintenance.

Instructions for use
  • At the beginning you should place the turtleboard® without a ball on a non-slip surface. Place a protective mat / rug under the turtleboard® to protect any surfaces that can be scratched, damaged or dented.
  • Make sure that there are no objects within a radius of at least 2.5 meters that you could injure yourself on in the event of a fall.
  • Now stand with your feet a little over shoulder width on the surface of the turtleboard® to get a secure footing and a first feeling for the turtleboard®.
  • Now start rocking the board back and forth.
  • If you are familiar with the turtleboard®, place the ball in the middle under the turtleboard® on the protective mat / carpet and place one foot on the stand.
  • Then step up the opposite side of the standing surface with the second foot and slowly shift your weight in the direction of this foot.
  • Now you can balance the equilibrium and "float"; you can touch the ground at any point with the board.
  • Attention: the ball must always be under your board within the arch between your feet.
  • When dismounting, make sure to take your feet one at a time from the board
 Beginners should not make their first attempts alone, but with the help of a partner or a stable hold and use the supplied RAILS!​

It's that easy:
  • Turn the board over and lay it on the floor
  • Place the ball in the center of the bulge
  • Now glue the RAILS lengthways with the same distance to the ball
  • Recommended distance between the RAILS = 18 - 20 cm​

If you feel safe, you can remove the RAILS again.

Guarantee​
The legal liability for material defects applies. The guarantee expires as soon as the turtleboard® is modified!
