I’m looking at buying a balance board/ skateboard / surfboard simulator widget. I’ve used the [Indo Board](http://www.amazon.com/Original-Training-Package-Roller-Cushion/dp/B001A4F7S0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) in surf shops before, it seems reasonable. I note the B[ongo Board](http://www.amazon.com/Bongo-4639-Balance-Board/dp/B000TTHVYA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) has a slightly different design and a somewhat higher review average from Amazon.

Anybody used one of these and have an opinion to share? The main goals would be exercise, balance and, in the case of Attacklad, working on leg muscles - (he’s got an external rotation that seems to be a muscular or tendonous asymmetry. He’s been checked out by pediatric orthopedics. )

Thanks
