IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: When stepping on to the Holoholo Board, step on the part of the board that is already touching the ground first and then place your other foot on board to start riding.

Pipe Roller Riding Parallel to Board

Insert the pipe into stops and under the Pipe-Lock screws and finger tighten.

Skier style- (Easiest to learn) place your feet on the board inline with the pipe and board. Bend your knees for more challenge. Nose and tail manuals (wheelies), hang ten and other moves are possible and you can get a skiing sensation when tranfering weight across roller. Balance requirements very similar to stand up paddle boarding.

Riding Method #2

Boarder Style- Step on like riding a skateboard and the board will have a slight roll and lots of tilt to challenge your balance. Once you are comfortable with the board touching the ground on both sides you can try to stay balanced in the small amount of travel or roll that is allowed by the Pipe-Lock and stops.There is a fine line you can feel when you are centered over the pipe roller and maintaining control. That same senstion is common to most board sports. Once you have your balance try kickturns, 360's and all kinds of skate tricks. Practice rail grabs and other surfing, snowboarding, wakeboard positions.

Learn to Ride

Begin with skier style.

Advance to riding boarder style.

Riding Method #3

Pipe Roller Riding Perpendicular to Board.

Great overall balance training and helps lateral movement. Board is restricted by stops, but is not locked in like set up#1. Spotter or assitance recommended for beginners.

Boarder Style-but this will actually have a very skiing like feel. Same basic concept as the other balance boards. Place one foot on the side of board already touching the ground then place other foot on the other side, opposite of roller and then shift body weight to this raised side of board. The board will tilt and roller will move back and forth between the stops on the bottom of the board. Great fun and when you bend knees and lower body weight it becomes even more challenging.

PIPE IS NOT LOCKED IN. Keep feet on opposite sides of roller, falls likely if both feet are on same side of roller. Skier style is not recommended.

Cross training with the Holoholo Board is the perfect way to improve board riding and balance skills for surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, stand up padlleboarding (SUP), skiing and other sports.

Use at your own risk. The HOLOHOLO balance board is primarily designed for use on a rugged padded surface such a durable carpet or pad. Damage can occur to wood or other surfaces. HOLOHOLO Board Sports INC. is not responsible for damage to persons or property caused by it use or misuse. Just like in other sports and athletic activities, awkward falls and injuries can occur. Falls are an inherent risk. Respect the possibility of falling. Parental or adult supervision of children riders is recommended. A spotter can assist a new rider by holding their hands or hips.

 

TEACH YOUR KIDS TO RIDE

The Holoholo balance board is a better way to introduce board riding because speed is not a major factor and riding on a padded carpet is fun.
