- General Notes:
- Board Price: MoonBoard includes panels; Kilter/Tension require separate frame/panels (adjustable 0°–70°). Frame prices vary by supplier and adjustment type.
- Area: MoonBoard footprint smaller (5.74 m² or 3.77 m²) vs. Kilter/Tension (13.38 m²). Fall zones (1–2 m) increase effective area by 50–100%.
- Depth: Kilter/Tension depth varies (~2–3 m at 40°); MoonBoard fixed (25°/40°).
