The Slackers Slackline Classic Series Kit is a great beginner slackline for kids and adults looking for an introduction to this sport. Supporting lengths up to 50 feet, the Slackers Classic line is 2" wide, has little stretch, and comes with a teaching line that can be setup at head level. We recommend this kit for children or adults who want a fun line for play, but are not expecting to dedicate significant time and energy to grow in this sport.
For someone looking to develop a more advanced practice we instead recommend the Gibbon Surfline for those interested in aerial tricks, and the Balance Community Titen Series Custom Pulley System for those interested in long or high line potential.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
Setup
This kit is extremely easy to setup by anyone. The 2" ratchet is easy to thread and will tighten up the line with minimal effort. It can be setup low to the ground for beginners, and comes with a guide or teaching line that offers something to hold while you learn. Versatility The Slackers Classic Kit is mostly a kit for beginners and is limited to those looking for a fun thing to do in the park with kids. It does not offer stretch or bounce for more serious practitioners, and will quickly be outgrown. Quality The webbing and ratchet seem to provide high quality durable material, although the webbing itself is not very stretchy or soft on the feet. The ratchet tightening system has the tendency to catch the line, resulting in fraying over time. Value This is a great line for children, although at $80 one could simply purchase a ratchet system at Home Depot for quite a bit less money. — Brian Blum Compare this product side-by-side to top competitors >
