GOLFBOARD OWNER’S MANUAL
50
The GolfBoard stability bar is an important safety
feature for all new users. When in use, it is very
important to ensure that the bag stand is securely
mounted. Proper attachment methods are outlined in
the
2.18.4 Attaching Your Golf Bag
section of the
owner’s manual.
To ensure maximum stability, you should firmly hold
the stability bar at all times while the board is moving.
The stability-bar assists with staying properly
balanced, as well as greatly assists in steering the
board.
Firmly gripping the stability bar is particularly
necessary when accelerating and decelerating.
Additionally, by applying pressure to the stability bar to the right or left, the board will turn more
easily.
The stability-bar is also used to secure your golf bag. In addition to the standard strap found on
most golf carts, the GolfBoard employs an additional strap near the bottom of the golf bag for
added safety and security. It is important to make sure that tie-down straps are securely in place
prior to operating the GolfBoard in order to avoid the bag and clubs falling in front of the board.
6.3.3 Proper Stance
The proper stance for GolfBoarding is
very intuitive. You should stand in the
traditional “surfers stance,” which is
sideways on the board with feet shoulder
width apart. Additionally, feet should be
slightly staggered, with the toes of the
front foot on one edge, and the heel of
the other foot on the opposite edge. This
surfer stance with a slight staggered foot
position provides the greatest amount of
stability and leverage to steer the board.
Shift your body weight from one side of
the board to the other in order to turn. As weight is increasingly applied to one edge of
the board, the wheels pivot causing the board to turn. The stability bar can also be
pushed or pulled right or left to enhance turning ability. However, you should primarily
use the shifting of your weight from toes to heels as the principal way to steer a
GolfBoard.
The GolfBoard has a variety of proprietary features to ensure ease of use and safety,
including quick deceleration whenever the remote trigger is released, as well as a
remote on/off switch. You can quickly stop the board at any time by simply releasing the
remote or thumb throttle trigger, or turning off the remote. Additionally, the remote has a
reverse switch, which when depressed while moving forward will cause the board to
decelerate, come to a stop, and then eventually begin to reverse direction.
