I've only had it a few days and I've been using it constantly. It's definitely challenging and awesome on your legs. As an avid kite/snow/longboarder, I needed something like this to give me something to do at home.I spend every second on it if I'm watching a show or playing a video game. My balance has already improved a bit and I can feel it working my leg muscles! I've started attempting some spins and squats as well. Definitely adds to the workout.Water sport enthusiasts, this is great for you because the stops on the bottom can be swapped to the long edges, which allows you to work on wave-type balance scenarios.With the stoppers off completely it's even MORE challenging, and you can twist and turn to your heart's content.Only "complaint" (which is negligible) is that the blue part of the board is a different material that gets a bit slippery if you're on it barefoot. But it's only after you've been on it long enough for your feet to sweat, and even then - just wear socks!It's very comfortable to stand on, very sturdy wood with soft and durable foam on top, and the roller hasn't damaged my hardwood floor even with all of my falling!Anyway, I highly recommend this to beginners or advanced balance boarders, as it can be changed to work for you. Also great for snowboarders who struggle with rail balance, and surfers (and basically any board sport). And it's pretty!

I bought the Rev board after borrowing my upstairs neighbor's Indo board for a few days. I took a chance by ordering this instead because it was a little cheaper. I have had 4 ACL replacements and need to keep my core strong and do a lot of balance training to compensate for my crappy knees. I also do enough supping that I've realized my balance needs some work. This is probably the single best thing out there for that.The board and roller themselves are great. While I ordered it sight unseen to save a few bucks, I actually like this better than the Indo board because of the lightly padded surface. It feels kind of like neoprene and gives you better grip if you're doing this barefoot, which I usually am - and more comfortable on your feet than the weird graininess/textured top of the Indo board.I also ordered just a generic wobble cushion to use with it as well when working out. While I can balance on the roller just by itself, I'm not yet confident enough in my balancing skills to use it for squats or other exercises. The cushion underneath provides a slightly easier option for that kind of stuff.February 2016 update - Reducing from 5 status to 3 a while I still like and use it, I'm not quite as thrilled with it. Within the first month, the black coating glued on to the tube started to come unglued. I have attempted to contact the company repeatedly via email, via their website, via their website chat feature, etc., and I have never heard back despite repeat attempts. To me, that's not exactly great customer service, since they don't stand behind their product. The coating has entirely unraveled and it's now down to the naked plastic tube. Wish I'd just spent the extra $20 and bought an indo board in the first place. If I were to buy it again, that's definitely what I'd do.March 2016 - After seeing my February update, the company reached out and offered to send me a new roller. Apparently the one I had was an older version. This newer one seems much better, and unlike the old one, hasn't started coming unglued in just a couple weeks. I'm glad they made this right even though it had been so long since I bought it. The board itself was always very nice, and with the new roller, it's now a complete quality product.
