POD Waterproof Backpack 40L + WOW 13" Handboard + PF1 Fins

The Bodysurfing Travel Setup - 40L Backpack, WOW 13" and PF1

The POD Waterproof Backpack 40L, WOW 13" Handboard and PF1 Swim Fins give you a full bodysurfing setup that packs into one bag. The 40L holds the lot, sealed against water and sand wherever the trip takes you. At 330 to 350 grams, the WOW 13" is the lightest handboard for its size in the POD range, and it still builds on the lift from your hand and holds your line through the wave. The PF1 is the lightest fin in the PF Series, and its natural rubber flex keeps your kick easy through long sessions at unfamiliar breaks.

POD Waterproof Backpack 40L

Pack the fins flat against the back, slide the WOW in beside them, then add your wetsuit, rash guard and towel on top. The 40L still has room to spare. It's the biggest bag in the POD waterproof range, and it takes a complete bodysurfing setup in one load.

The body is heavy-duty 500D PVC tarpaulin, and the seams are heat-welded electronically rather than sewn. Three forward rolls of the top seal it airtight and watertight. From there, you can clip the top buckle for quick access or pull the side compression straps tight for a longer carry. Once it's sealed properly, the bag will float.

The front has two pockets, each closed with an IPX6-rated zipper that withstands heavy spray. Neither zip has a raw cut end: each is made to size and moulded closed at both ends. The top one, 26cm wide x 20cm high, fits your passport, phone, wallet and keys. The bottom one, 26cm wide x 24cm high, holds accessories and smaller gear.

Fully loaded, the bag stays close to your back, so it stays comfortable on long carries. The shoulder straps have two layers and the back panel is ventilated, both letting air move through. It has an adjustable chest strap, a moulded carry handle, and two D-rings for anything you want on the outside.

Available in Black/Black and Black/White.

POD WOW 13" Bodysurfing Handboard

New coastline, unfamiliar breaks, whatever the swell brings that week. The WOW 13" is built to go along with all of it. At 330 to 350 grams, it's the lightest handboard for its size in the POD range, and its polyurethane construction won't crack if it gets knocked around in transit. Unlike timber, it needs no care beyond a rinse, which makes it the simplest board in the range to travel with.

In the water, the 330mm board flexes lightly and rebounds under load. An 18mm concave and mono-keel fin run water along the base, adding to the lift your hand already creates and helping you hold your line across the face. The convex deck fits your palm and keeps your hand comfortable through long sessions.

PF1 POD Swim Fins

The PF1 packs flat, weighs the least of any fin in the PF Series and shakes clean before it goes back in the bag. Drainage channels in the foot pocket let water and sand run straight out, so you're not carrying half the beach home.

In the water, it's just as easygoing. The rail flows into the blade without vertical top rails, so the blade flexes freely, and your kick stays comfortable through a long session at a new break. The symmetrical blade and Splay Rails® balance the work between your legs, and you move straight and steady into each wave. Natural Malaysian rubber gives it a lively flex and lets it float if the surf pulls it off.

The PF1 is easy to pick up whether you've been bodysurfing for years or you're just starting, and younger riders take to it quickly.

Care - Backpack, Handboard, and Swim Fins

• Freshwater rinse after every surf - handboard, fins, and backpack exterior
• Check the seal before closing - keep the rolling area clean and free of sand for a reliable watertight closure
• Shade dry only - dry the handboard, fins, and backpack inside and out before storing
• Avoid direct heat - never leave the handboard, fins, or backpack inside a vehicle on a hot day
