Piperider™ ‘ The Ride'

Piperider™ is a unique wave riding action workout

First timer riders need to read Safety information before riding Piperider™

The board balances and pivots on the top of the Pipe. The pipe is round so it will roll. The pipe will move and roll under the motion of the board creating the unique wave riding type workout.

Simply place one foot at each end of the board and then tip the high end over the rolling pivot It is important not to panic at this stage as the pipe rolls and the board tips. Keep both feet firmly and squarely on the board.

The board will roll only so far then stop. The board will not roll off the pipe. The board has a safety stop secured on the underside at each end and this will stop it.By shifting your core body mass to be over the pivot point, ie. keeping your hips over the pipe, you are able to achieve sustained balance.

Piperider™ is a high intensity and low impact workout for leg and core muscles

The Piperider™ challenge is to keep the balance, keep either end of the board from touching the ground for as long as possible. As your skills sharpen you can add increased board/pipe angle, turns and jumps to make the workout much harder and more intense.

As close a workout to a real wave ride as you can get!

Piperider™ requires balance and falls can be expected. Wrist protection and helmet are advised to be worn.

Piperider™ balance board ‘ The Challenge'

To keep the board ends from touching the ground for as long as possible is the goal.

As skills increase technical turns and jumps can be added to make this challenge much harder.

Piperider™ The Surfs Up and the Powders Fresh

Surfing is one of the most exciting and technically demanding sports on the planet. Surfing like Snowboarding and other board sports is difficult to master. Now you can really practice in the comfort of our own home.If; the surf is flat, The snows all ice or rocks, the waters too cold, you don’t have a day off, you need to get in shape for that summer holiday or that next ski trip?

Whatever.
It is hard to get the continued perfect conditions needed for good board riding practice.

All board riders need repetitive training to improve.

The unique Piperider™ wave type action of the ride simulates pumping turns on the perfect wave or carving powder turns in the snow or riding the bowl at the skatepark, without even leaving home or getting wet.

Piperider™ Works For Surfers.

Dalton Fowler

I got my Piperider just 6 weeks ago and it has really made a big difference to my surfing. I feel the board is part of me now and especially in the whitewash sections I am stable and charge on thru. Cheers Dudes.

Santiago (from Argentina)

A winning bit of equipment and awesome exercise. I love my Piperider. I can’t wait till the water warms up a bit and I can unleash my new confidence on the waves. Well done

Stefan Gross, Auckland

Hi, I tried the PipeRider at the VQS at the mount and really enjoyed it! Hey very cool Piperider I was impressed it is the best balance board I've ever tried.

Grant Crane

My Boys are always on it and are pulling some good tricks now. They are timing each other and their mates to see how long they can keep balance. Piperider is very popular in our house.

Ben Bruce , Auckland

My name is Ben Bruce and I\'m a chiropractor in Auckland. I had a go on one of my mate\'s pipe rider boards and had a absolute ball on it mate. I would love to order one!! I\'m just getting into snowboarding this year and think that one of your boards would really help with learning how to balance your weight with rails etc. There is a huge market for what you are selling with up and coming surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders etc, because not only are people having fun when they play on them, but they are building neural pathways in their brain to accomodate for better balance, and actually changing their neural wiring. I see a couple of boarders (snow and skate) so will definately recommend your product to help improve their ability!
