Bongo Board Go ahead, click on the Bongo Board link. You might be shocked by where you end up. But you shouldn't be. That's because no other modern day balance board training equipment is closer in spirit to the original Stanley Washburn Bongo Board than this' A Vew-Do Balance Board. I'll tell you why in a minute. But first, let's talk about what the original Bongo Board has evolved into today. Listen, there's no two ways about it. Compared to the original Bongo Board, today's Vew-Do balance board is more like a Bongo Board on steroids. In other words, this ain't your dad's 60's Bongo Board. That doesn't make the original Bongo Board any less important. It just means that it's evolved into modern day multi-sport, multi-directional Vew-Do Balance Boards. Vew-Do started with the innovation of the original Bongo Board. Then ramped up the features and morphed it into the balance and core training equipment it is today.
Lets get back to our Bongo Board history lesson Not surprisingly, as the board's popularity began to grow, so did the diversity of its users. In the late sixties, skiers and other athletes started to take notice and began using the Bongo Board for balance training. The commercially successful Bongo Board stayed in production until 1980. ___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________ With the death of his business partner, Stanley folded the Bongo Board Corporation in 1980 to pursue other interests. But the spirit of the original Bongo Board was resurrected again in 1992 when Vew-Do Balance Boards patented the world's first multi-directional balance training device. I mentioned earlier that there was a reason why no other modern day balance training equipment is closer in spirit to the original Stanley Washburn Bongo Board than Vew-Do Balance Boards. It's because Vew-Do President Brew Moscarello and Stanley Washburn have been working together since 1995. Stanley is an honorary member of Vew-Do's board of directors and he's been an avid supporter of Vew-Do Balance Boards since day one.
