SPRI Slide Board (71" L x 20" W) with End Stops, Sliding Booties, Mesh Carrying Bag and Exercise Guide for Low Impact Balance Training (Skating, Hockey)

I needed a means of increasing my cardiovascular fitness, as nursing Plantar Fasciitis, this has really helped me achieve this by reducing the impact and providing a challenging workout.

This looked like a great product with carrying case, booties and exercise chart. Unfortunately the under non slip mat which is attached to the slide was longer than the actual slide. I was the person who launched slide to Europe back in the late 80's (wrote the manual, made the videos), so am highly proficient at sliding. The sliding surface is also not very slick and it takes more effort to slide than should do. On day three of using it, when I slid over the mat the excess non slip mat had buckled and I went flying and cut my knee and shin open on the bumper as I fell.So be careful. I actually cut the non slip mat off and now lay it flat on the floor underneath, so not creases or buckling. I tried contacting Spri direct to tell them about this issue but could not find their contact details.
