Joggling Board

A joggling board is a long bendable board supported on each end by wooden stands. This board is springy so whoever sits on it is able to bounce. Traditionally these boards are painted Charleston green and they have been traced back to plantations in South Carolina in the early 1800's. Some say they were used for exercise, others say they were used for courting (couples would end up bouncing together in the middle) but many say they were and are just for fun!
