Anglesey Wobbler    £73/£83

• The Anglesey Wobbler is a Greenland balance stool, the perfect training tool for sea-kayakers to help improve core muscle strength and balance


• Keeping upright on the Anglesey Wobbler requires quick reflexes, a flexible waist, with correction for weight shift coming directly from the spine and hips - essential attributes for all kayakers


• As your sense of balance improves, your adjustments will become more subtle and relaxed, thus emulating what an experienced kayaker does without thinking in his/her boat


• The Anglesey Wobbler is also an ideal training device for other watersports enthusiasts and could even be used for meditation and yoga practice


• It would also be perfect for preparing the novice kayaker (of any age) to the way a sea-kayak tends to wobble when you first sit in it


• Balance stools were said to have been used by Greenlanders to help their children get ready for the 'tippiness' of kayaks. Children were often given a meaty bone to chew while they used the balance stool, so that their hands were not available to help them balance!


• You, on the other hand, could use it while you watch telly or read the paper, or play computer games


• It's good fun and a bit addictive and can become pretty competitive when used by a group


• The Anglesey Wobbler will also let you know if your hamstrings are too tight, as we are so unused to sitting without a backrest and with legs straight out in front of us these days


• If you are looking for something even more testing, what about the Wobbler Extreme?
