Heavy Water, Fins Secured - FLO, PF2 and Fin Savers
The POD FLO Cedar Walnut Handboard, PF2 Swim Fins and Fin Savers with Heel Protectors pair the largest wood handboard in the Hand Body Soul® range with the most structured fin in the PF Series and a full ankle retention system. The FLO's deep 20mm concave gives your hand the most planing surface in the range for powerful surf. The PF2's vertical rails grip the face and keep your legs steady. When a heavy wave lands on you, the fin savers and heel protectors hold your heel firm and keep each fin tethered to your ankle.
FLO Cedar Walnut Handboard - Hand Body Soul®
At 375mm (15 inches), the FLO is the biggest board in the Hand Body Soul® range. A walnut centre runs between cedar sides, CNC-machined to shape, hand-finished, and laser-engraved with the trademarks. Underneath, a deep 20mm concave and moulded keel fin give your hand the most surface area of any board in the set, adding lift and holding your line when the surf has real power. The convex deck rests naturally in your palm.

PF2 POD Swim Fins
Bodysurfing asks a lot of a fin in a few seconds. You need a hard, direct kick to get into the wave, then something solid to hold you on the face once you're riding it. The PF2 is the most structured fin in the PF Series, and it covers both.
For the take-off, the symmetrical Chisel Blade® and Splay Rails® spread the load evenly across the fin, so the drive from your legs sends you straight down the line you've chosen. The sole ramps up under the front of your foot, which keeps your toes from clawing at the pocket as you kick. Your foot stays settled, even through a string of hard strokes.
Once you're across the face, the vertical rails take over. They run all the way to the blade edge and hold into the wave, keeping your legs up high instead of letting them drag toward the bottom.
The PF2 is moulded from natural Malaysian rubber, so it floats if it slips off in whitewater.

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. That single strap reduces the bulk and drag associated with wider webbing systems. Soft neoprene heel pads wrap around the fin strap to prevent chafing, stabilise the heel, and improve retention in surf, shore break, and moving water.
