Namimatsuri 2026: Slackline Booth in Hamamatsu, Japan 

A new UCLA study shows that not all balance training methods are equally effective. Slackline-based training delivered superior results in dynamic stability and injury prevention compared to traditional tools like wobble boards and foam pads.

In July 2026, GIBBON hosted a two-day slackline program at Koigahama Beach in Hiroshima. Kids and adults tried slacklining, released sea bream fry and joined a beach cleanup.

In May 2026, GIBBON ran a slackline experience booth at Namimatsuri, a surfing festival in Hamamatsu, Japan. 578 people tried slacklining over two days, and the SLACKBOARD was a big hit too.
