Aloha Tribe,
A great way to practice your balance when you're not on your board is riding a BMX bike. For mine, I run quad pegs with a Freecoaster. This lets me use any of the four pegs as something to stand on and the Freecoaster lets the bike coast backwards so you don't have to reverse pedal.
My bike is a white MirraCo Blend BMX with a KHE Reverse Freecoaster and four smooth steel pegs, two for each wheel (lots of riders run pegs on just one side but this way, you open up your balance opportunities which is great for practicing Switch Foot for Surfing your surfboard. My chain, hand grips, peddles, and tires are pink and my seat is yellow. A bike set up like this lets you balance on your rear pegs or on your front pegs or on a front and rear peg on the same side, allowing for a variety of riding and balancing experiences. Using the pegs in combination with the seat and handlebars, you have 6 different pieces to stand on. For BMX Surfing, by the way, simply stand with one foot on your seat and the other foot on our handlebars, steering with your front foot and body shifts.
