Just use two 2 x 4`s nailed together and save some cash.

Why let some scammer get rich off of you?

Agree with Wes. You need a solid support to stand on to get a proper stretch. That moving slant board does not seem to allow that, by the look of it. In this case, a picture is not worth a thousand words.

That one legged calf raise, that davie is doing, may be one of the best calf movements around. Apply a full stretch at the bottom and a fast and hard contraction at the very top.  Really do not need a super duper calf machine. So get out that 4X6 block and start growing some calves. Good Luck.

just use stairs or anything that lets you have a good range of motion.
