We have been designing, testing, using and making CoolBoard since 2006.
We continue to develop new products, exercises and workouts to help our customers.
This is often inspired by CoolBoard users finding new uses for it.
We are always available and happy to help all of our customers.
…there was a rubbish ‘surfer’ called Nic. He started well, getting up on his first wave after a little tutoring from his lovely friend Laura. Trouble was, once on the board, he had ‘legs like a drunk Bambi’ (his own words), years of bodyboarding hadn’t helped.
Well that was it… CoolBoard was born… Nic realised he’d created something great… A patent was sorted… and thanks to the lovely folk at Geronimo Nic went to do his first show at the Rat Race in Bristol all those moons ago… and everyone there loved CoolBoard, so here we are – so thanks y’all!
the CoolBoard company
Started in 2006 by Nic Smith, CoolBoard is steadily growing into a vibrant, exciting, whilst somehow still chilled company. Nic had invented a ‘toy’ many thought was plain silly the year before – more on that here, and he continues to do everything in a slightly funny way that seems to make too much sense for many to be comfortable with. This is the charm of Nic, and he has it intrinsically running through CoolBoard.
As CoolBoard grows its morals are developing. All who work at CoolBoard have similar ethics; there’s no point getting out of bed without love and friendship; have maximum fun – leave minimum trace; work hard, play hard, but know when to stop and laugh/cry, then chill…
So, we mostly ride bikes (ha ha Bristol traffic), like reusing more than recycling, hate waste, love to play, have toys to use and dreams to follow… and the dream we’re following now is to prove that business can be nice and friendly and fun, while getting the world hooked on CoolBoard balance board.
No CoolBoard balance board isn’t the be all and end all, but it’s our baby, and now our job, and we know you’ll like it.
This give me a satisfying outlet for my skills, while learning new ones, and having a workshop means I can readily realise other ideas I have had, the CoolBoard being one.
Since the early days of tinkering in my garden shed, CoolBoard balance board has come a long way. Racking up successes as we progress, this shiny new website for example!
With our plans for the future and some hard work we won the prestigious theBizIdea competition run by the University of the West of England in April, 2007, proving CoolBoard balance board is so much more than a simple but genius toy.

In October 2007, Nic entered his plans for CoolBoard balance board into Knowledge West’s Competition.
Although we didn’t win, we came away with the runner-up prize, and managed to leave the presentation having sold a CoolBoard balance board to each and every member of the panel – unheard of in Competitions!
CoolBoard products
CoolBoard will always target your core – the most important aspect of your fitness, and one of the hardest to target.
Just standing on a CoolBoard will not only strengthen your core, legs and balance, it will also work your spine and leg joints. Perfect for remaining injury free.
Most actions in life, whether walking and running, doing a board sport, or chopping down trees, do not happen in one plane of movement, they use many planes of movement at once in one movement. By being fully free to move, training on a CoolBoard balance trainer allows your body, mind and proprioception to prepare itself for the complex movement patterns of everyday life and sport.
This extra movement means that more of your muscles, tendons and ligaments or worked in more planes, thus all physical benefits are greatly increased. The same applies to your brain and your proprioception. This makes the CoolBoard balance trainer one of the most effective trainers you will find.
The added benefit of this movement is that it is fun, addictive and constantly challenging. This means you are far less likely to tire of your workouts. In fact you will find you keep coming back for more, day after day, and year after year. It means that using your CoolBoard is a pleasure, a fun activity in its own right. Physiotherapists love this aspect for CoolBoard as the key to good recovery is frequent and regular use, and many people tire of their traditional recovery workouts quickly – enter CoolBoard!
