A Legacy of Wave Riding Innovation

Built to last. Designed to perform. Passed down from one generation to the next. That's the POD difference you'll experience with every handboard.

Our Revolutionary Handboard Collection

Discover the perfect handboard crafted for ultimate wave mastery:

• POD® WOW 13" Handboard: Discover the WOW Factor with this revolutionary handboard. Crafted from lightweight, eco-conscious polyurethane, the WOW tips the scales at just 330 grams (25% lighter than traditional wooden boards), reducing arm fatigue and maximising paddling freedom. Its signature shape eliminates splash-back, while the world's first ergonomic palm support and double-padded strap offer unmatched comfort, grip, and flex rebound. The unique PU formulation delivers ideal weight, rigidity, and density, giving you precise control, speed, and lift. Dent and crack-resistant, with maintenance-free care, it's a new era in bodysurfing. Responsibly manufactured since 1988.
• POD Original Classic Handplane: Step up to a proven performer with this signature shape, boasting 32 years of wave-tested reliability. First released in 1993 and still going strong, this iconic handboard features recyclable polypropylene moulding, making it lightweight, neutrally buoyant, and incredibly tough. Designed to endure, it features a concave bottom with a keel fin for enhanced hold, drive, and flow. Each handboard is finished in vibrant, natural mineral pearl pigments, offering a timeless design for serious bodysurfers.
• Wood POD Hand Boards: Prefer tradition? Explore this handcrafted favourite, available in three sizes, meticulously crafted with CNC precision, laser detailing, and sustainable hardwoods. Featuring recessed retainer plugs, marine-grade stainless steel rods, innovative ergonomic palm support with hold, and our original 50mm adjustable hand strap with wrist cord, these timber handplanes are engineered for natural buoyancy and wave responsiveness, all while being environmentally sound.

Engineered for Superior Control and Comfort

Whichever model you choose, every POD handboard is shaped for superior lift, control, and comfort. Each design keeps your hand in a natural swimming position and your face free from splash-back. Double-padded board straps, ergonomic palm deck grips, and decades of hydrodynamic testing ensure that your board performs with you, not against you.
