The gear that will have you slacklining in no time
This is all the gear that you will need to get comfortable fast! I use most most of this gear every time I slackline.
This was the first ever slack line that I bought back in 2019. I bought it because not only did it look like a fun new skill to learn, but it helped strengthen my ankles. I’ve actually sprained my ankles a few times and my doctor has told me if I kee...
3" Slackline Kit
Typically, I use a 2 1/2 or 3 inch slack line. They’re the most common ones you find, but I have done a 1 inch slack line which is this one. It is extremely challenging, but I think that’s the fun of it. If you’re looking for something to challenge y...
1" Slackline Kit ADVANCED
Now, if you’re someone with a family, these are pretty cool. My mother-in-law has this kit and my kids love it. It’s the go to hangout spot at her farm. It gives the kids a bunch of obstacles to try out while balancing on the slackline and the best p...
Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course 50ft Slackline
I’ve never actually used one of these, but if you’re in an area that doesn’t have a lot of trees this would be extremely useful. Usually you attach your slackline to two trees and that’s what holds the line up, but if you don’t have any trees, you ca...

Slack Board
Whenever I’m trying something new or challenging myself on the slack line, I always slide one of these mats underneath. These are awesome little crash pads that are just a little bit of cushion if you fall. They’re also really lightweight and fold up...

I use little cinch bags for all my hobbies, it’s super convenient when you can have all your supplies together and one simple bag. You don’t have to get this bag, but I thought it was worth mentioning!
Cinch Sack for Slackline
My GO-TO for Slackline shoes. I’d like to be able to feel the slack line with my feet. I feel like it gives me way better balance. These shoes are perfect because they’re thin and you can feel the line underneath your feet, but if you fall off into t...
Slackline / Water Shoes
I actually don’t own any toe shoes ha ha my wife won’t let me. But I have thought for years. These would be fantastic for the slack line so I’m gonna recommend them! I don’t know if these ones are good but any toe shoe in general I feel is the perfec...
Five Finger Toe Shoes
WHEN YOU NEED A BEAK :) nothing crazy here. Just a simple lawn chair, it’s best if there’s only one person on the line at a time and if you have multiple people with you waiting for turns, it’s nice to have a good seat while you wait.

It gets HOT out there on a Slack Line stay hydrated! Of course you don’t need to buy this water bottle, I just put this here as a reminder that you should always bring water with you. There’s nothing worse than being excited about learning something ...
