Norst Surf Balance Board Featured in WIRED’s Best Wellness Gear
We’re stoked to share that our handcrafted Surf Balance Board was just featured in WIRED’s Best Wellness Gear — their annual roundup of the best products to boost health, movement, and recovery.
“Balance boards like this one, handmade using cork and FSC Certified wood, are brilliant for joint rehabilitation when paired with a roller or a ball underneath. At the same time, they build core strength and improve agility and reaction speed.” — WIRED
WIRED recognized Norst for its innovative approach to functional training and injury recovery — but also for our commitment to sustainability. Each balance board is made with natural cork and FSC-certified wood, combining performance with environmental responsibility.
Why It Matters
Whether you're recovering from injury, cross-training for your next surf trip, or just looking to build core strength and stability, our surf-style balance boards offer a dynamic way to move better every day.
Plus, the extended deck length and hand-finished ply construction makes it ideal for:
- Practicing surf pop-ups and footwork
- Rehabilitation and physio routines
- Improving agility, reaction speed, and balance
- Daily movement and mobility sessions
A Big Moment for a Small Brand
We’re incredibly grateful to WIRED’s editors for spotlighting what we’ve built. As a small independent brand, recognition like this means the world. It shows that functionally designed, sustainably made gear has a place in the global wellness conversation.
To our community: thank you. And if you’re new here — welcome to Norst. We’re building something different: a brand rooted in adventure, sustainability, and movement.
