Exeter Slackliners

This page was associated with the Exeter University Slacklining Society which closed in 2019. The page has been left open for all slackliners in Exeter to connect. Basically, slacklining consists of walking along a narrow piece of webbing attached between two trees. There are different types of lines used, depending on what you want to do on the line:
- beginner lines, generally between 5-20 meters long and tensioned enough that they don't wobble too much
- longlines, generally considered to be a line 30 meters or longer
- tricklines, which are lines tensioned enough so that you can bounce and do various dynamic tricks
- highlines, which are lines over cliffs, mountains, buildings, etc., where you wear a harness to catch you if you fall
- also there are rodeo lines, water lines, yoga lines, the list goes on! Why you should slackline:

- fitness, slacklining offers you a whole body workout, and you'll be having fun while you do it!
- improve your balance, if you have bad balance, learning to slackline will fix that!
- it's relaxing, slacklining offers an unusual mix of adrenaline and relaxation - try it and find out for yourself!
