Always Quote by Laird Hamilton

“Growing up, we didn't use balance boards or do stability-specific exercises - but we were always outside climbing things, wrestling, and running around with bare feet. Doing anything that challenges your equilibrium and tries to pull you off-kilter will improve your balance.” quote by Laird Hamilton
