Compact Board, Secure Fins - EGO, PF2 and Fin Savers
The POD EGO Cedar Walnut Handboard, PF2 Swim Fins and Fin Savers with Heel Protectors pair the smallest wood handboard in the Hand Body Soul® range with the most structured fin in the PF Series and a full ankle retention system. The 225mm EGO sits neatly in your palm and gives smaller hands a board they can place precisely on steep, technical waves. The PF2's vertical rails grip the face and keep your legs steady. At the ankle, the fin savers and heel protectors steady your heel and keep each fin tethered to you when the water turns rough.
EGO Cedar Walnut Handboard - Hand Body Soul®
The EGO is the smallest handboard in the Hand Body Soul® range at 225mm (9 inches). The cedar walnut construction delivers a 16mm concave bottom with an integrated keel fin. The convex deck supports a natural hand position in the palm with ergonomic palm hold and support. The compact size suits technical surf, steeper waves, and riders with smaller hands.

PF2 POD Swim Fins
The PF2 starts with natural Malaysian rubber. It gives the fin a lively, firm flex and enough buoyancy to float back up if you lose one in the shorebreak.
From that rubber, POD builds the most structured fin in the PF Series. The Chisel Blade® is symmetrical, and the Splay Rails® on either side keep the load even across the fin. When a set lines up and you kick hard to get in early, your effort goes straight into the wave instead of leaking out sideways. A ramped sole sits under the ball of your foot, holding it steady so your toes aren't straining to keep the fin in place.
Then the wave picks you up. As you turn across it, vertical rails running the full way to the blade edge hold into the face. Your legs stay high in the pocket of the wave, right where you want them for a long, clean ride.

POD Fin Savers and Heel Protectors
The POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors use a single streamlined ONE-Strap webbing connection between the ankle and the rubber fin strap. This single strap reduces bulk and drag compared with wider webbing systems. Soft 4mm neoprene heel pads wrap around the fin strap to prevent chafing, stabilise the heel, and improve retention in surf, shore break, and moving water.
- ONE-Strap webbing connection - single strap sits flat between ankle and rubber fin strap
- Reduces bulk and drag at the ankle
- 4mm neoprene heel pads prevent chafing and stabilise the heel
- No plastic hardware at connection points
- POD Registered Design
