JOGGLING BOARDS
The history of the joggling board goes back at least to the early 1800s but its roots are not exactly known. Some people tell a story of the first joggling board being devised as a piece of exercise equipment for people with arthritis while others tell a story of a young couple sitting on a courting bench and if the young man and the young women started on each end and eventually joggled close enough together they would fall madly in love with one another, or something like that. Today, joggling boards are seen all over Charleston SC and the surrounding areas as they are a mainstay and a direct linkage to the heritage and history of South Carolina’s colonial past.
The Charleston Joggling Board boasts traditional styling that is individually handcrafted. The length of the board is what provides its famous bounce or “joggle.” The shorter the board the less bounce the piece will have. Finished with high quality exterior paints and polyurethanes for a long lasting feature of your outdoor space.
