Hi SUP people, has anyone heard of POWER BALANCE? I have just come back from overseas and everyone on the water is using this Power Balance hologram to increase their balance, focus and performance. Has anyone tried it yet?

now repeat after me

" if it looks too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true "

i guess us older guys have seen this snake oil scam i one form or another a few times now [}:)].
i cant believe though in this google search era that still some people can fall for this stuff.
recently picked up a magazine at my dentists waiting room , one of those health workout mags .on the inside was a double page ad for this metal necklace or bracelet that did all those magical things we all want , the price tag was about $200-$300 and also had special circuitry that looked like a tiny copper computer circuit . ANYHOW
did a quick google search and soon found it was full of sh-t .
a university crew took 2 or 3 of them apart and found that the circuit wasn't even connected to the necklace but just glued on and when tested with all the fancy uni meters they found no emissions of any kind . so once again it was all in your head. and out of pocket.
anybody else remember any of these gadgets there have been lots but as quick as they come they disappear and forgotten.

couldn,t be bother watching the whole lot.power, stability, core strenght whatever you went to call it starts from in between your scapula,s or shoulder blades. if you can keep those together and stable even when paddling, all the other parts will come together. the difference in paddling, handling etc will be massive if you can keep the correct upper body shape. this what dancers, gymnast and snow skiers etc work on all the time

Hello friends,
Well I can tell you that this stuff is making my life better..

I sell them in my shop in Bali so you may think that I'm biased... But I can tell you that anyone who does the test buy it straight away!!!!

I know it sound weird and at the beginning I couldn't believe it myself but since I have start using it and my performance in the water and on land are way much better!!!!
Basically is an Hologram that you were on you.. it works on frequencies by tuning your body's energy.
It improve: Balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and endurance.
Has also proved to improve sleep and the immune system, reduce stress and swelling, relieve pain and stiffness and prevent motion sickness.

Really I don't know why or I understand how... But I can tell you that my back pain that I had for last 2 years is almost gone! When I do Kitesurf or Stand Up Paddle Surf I rarely fell anymore!! I'm amazed and I can't stop to talk about it!!!
I already start to put on my surfing student and their balance on the board improve dramatically...
I'm totally PB wired and I can't live anymore with out it....
I even send them to all my parents in Italy so that they can benefit from PB.

You don't have to believe it.... Just find someone near you who has it..... It takes 20 seconds and you will see with your eyes.
Keep it up and see you in the water.
Bye Jankie

So let me get this straight.It improves: Balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and endurance.improve sleep and the immune system, reduce stress and swelling, relieve pain and stiffness and prevent motion sickness.
But just prior to purchase relieves you of all sense and judgment.

If this product was for real sporting organisations like the AIS and professional football clubs would be all over it. Fact is the only people who endorse it are a bunch of athletes i have never heard of.

Not to say it doesnt work for some people but any effect would be more psychological i think. Some people surf better with Jesus, others shred harder when they listen to music or wear their favorite red helmet and likewise their will always be some people who need to believe in mystical energy fields resonating with their bodies frequency blah blah blah to get their groove.

whatever works for you but go into it with open eyes.

Amazed to see people like Bruce Irons getting behind it.

Not long ago I had someone ask me to put these magnetic innersoles in my shoes and was asked to do the same 'Push on my arms' thing..with and without.

It felt the same to me but he says to me.. Look how much stronger you are with them in and he lets me push his arms more......Wot a croc!

I just did the test from the web site and holding my phone in my hand made it harder to push my hand down.

Jankie, I have a deal for you. Send me a neoprene wrist band and I'll wear it for a while. If it works I'll send you AUD$200.

Guys I'm not here for selling...
Someone asked about it and I replied.
I had the same kind of skeptical reply over and over... And unfortunately is quite hard to show it works if you can't try it.. It really sound absurd I know.
It should not be hard to get them in Australia!!!
I mean I can't believe nobody there has tried it or sell it.....
I know for sure that big company are endorsing it and applying the hologram in their products! Like Sanuk sandals..
If you have a friend coming to Bali ask them to do the test.
They selling PB in every surf shop in the island, I'm telling you is crazy.. 90% of local pro surfer they are using it.

Hey Jankie,

Couple of questions:

1. Can anyone advise me,if I wear one of these with my St Christopher, Ying Yang, various wristbands and a copper rheumatism band will the combined effect turn me into Casso overnight or will they cancel one another out?

2. Also, how much of this bunkum can I wear before I seriously effect the bouyancy of my Starboard 12'2"?

Soon as mine arrives, I'm off to get a tow-in at Pipeline

I googled power balance in Australia and got no hits at all ... except for stuff about politics.

Here's a vid of the "test" they do to prove that it works:
www.dailymotion.com/video/x5revc

I'm sorry but doing a hokey test with a bunch of ufo spotting retards just does not cut it. If they were serious about demonstrating the product they would show a proper test using a balance board and some weights or a spring balance or something. Until they do that I can only assume it is a typical pyramid sales ripoff.

You can buy the cards for $10 and I'm guessing enough people would buy one just to see what the fuss is about. In the internet age you could sell several million of them before people got bored with it.

Grrrr! Rant! Rant! Rant! Rant! ****ing rip off bastards. No wonder there's a global ****ing financial crisis with ****s like this loose in the world. What we need is a good ****ing war!!!!

There's an idea!

See if it can live up to its name:

Here's a test of this pyramid-sell hocus hologram-appedage-thingy: Give one to all heads of all warring nations and lets see if it can create "power balance"... If it doesnt work - maybe Power Balance Inc. would consider donating all their shadey profits to victims of war.

Personally I think we should do the seabreeze SUP group buy and all get fully balanced and coordinated together, it could compliment my brock signature energy polarizer.

This is spooky.
Before I went to Bali I read this forum topic and laughed, same as you guys.

I bought one in Bali for $10. What the hell , lets try it.

There is something about it, its hard to explain. It makes you focussed, balanced, I don't know. When I was MTB ing with it, I felt like I could not put a wheel wrong !

OK, maybe its just in my head - but this is really weird, my poor old 13 year old dog, who has trouble with arthritis, is getting weak and old as dogs do, well I made a little slit in her collar and slipped the hologram in - that afternoon the dog climbed up the back stairs of the house to come up and see us, she hasn't been able to do that in a year???? Now she don't know she has a silly little hologram in her collar.....

Like I said it's kinda spooky......
