In 1968, Fero, then a professional volleyball player in Europe, moved to Canada. In 1972, upon realizing that his sense of balance was not fully developed (evidenced by a less than successful attempt on some early balance training equipment), he became passionate about balance training. Through his research he came to realize that balance training was integral to an athlete's overall conditioning. After testing many balance training devices that were available, Fero realized that all balance training products seemed to be lacking in some respect.

Using equipment of his own design, Fero honed his sense of balance and toured the United States and Canada as the "Master of Balance", demonstrating his balance skills in places from Las Vegas hotels to schools in BC and Northern Canada, culminating in a performance at Expo 86 in Vancouver, where he successfully established a world record for blindfolded balancing at three hours and fifty seconds.

Having experienced the benefits of his strict balance training routine, Fero wanted to share the experience with all people but, his balance training equipment was dangerous for inexperienced users. After testing several different designs, Fero created the Extreme Balance Board, a product that allows a user to experience the sensation of compensating for simultaneous and independent movement through three planes of motion, while still maintaining a proper position of function, such that many exercises could be done in a safe and effective manner.

"Bringing balance to the world" has been his mission and now the Extreme Balance Board is used all over the world. From Australia to Europe and throughout Canada and the United States people are training on the Extreme Balacne Board.

Whether you train on the Extreme Balance Board, or any other equipment, keep training your balance and encourage others to do the same. Balance training provides results that will help you to perform better athletically and academically, will help to prevent falls, and can increase your resistance to injury.

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.

The Extreme Balance Board® is the ONLY balance board that features simultaneous and independent movement through three planes of motion.  That is, movement through one plane is not directly affected by movement through another plane providing a challenging balance training workout to a well conditioned athlete and also to those at a beginner level.
