POD Waterproof Backpack 40L + WOW 13" Handboard + PF3 Fins

Packed for the Trip - 40L Backpack, WOW 13" and PF3

The POD Waterproof Backpack 40L, WOW 13" Handboard and PF3 Evolution Swim Fins bring a full bodysurfing setup along on the road. The 40L holds everything, sealed against water and sand. At 330 to 350 grams, the WOW 13" is the lightest handboard for its size in the POD range, extending the lift from your hand without adding weight to your pack. The PF3's asymmetric blade centres load over your foot and responds precisely to how you move, even when a new break throws up waves you haven't read before.

POD Waterproof Backpack 40L

The 40L starts with 500D PVC tarpaulin, and every seam is electronically heat-welded, so water has no way in. Roll the top forward three times and all 40 litres seal airtight and watertight. Lock it with the top buckle when you'll be back in soon, or with the side compression straps when the pack is staying on your back for the long haul. Sealed correctly, it floats.

Upper front pocket at 26cm x 20cm takes a phone, wallet, passport, and keys. Lower front pocket at 26cm x 24cm handles accessories and session gear. Both pockets carry IPX6-rated waterproof zippers. Each zip is made to its exact length with moulded ends, so there is no cut end to let water through. Available in Black/Black and Black/White.

POD WOW 13" Bodysurfing Handboard

Drop the WOW 13" into your bag straight out of the water. No drying, oiling, or resealing. Polyurethane won't crack under the knocks of travel, and it handles any conditions without the care a timber board needs. At 330 to 350 grams, it's also the lightest handboard for its size in the POD range, which makes it the most practical board to take away.

The 330mm board has a subtle flex that returns quickly under load. Underneath, an 18mm concave base and mono-keel fin guide the water flow, extending the lift from your hand and keeping you on line through the wave. The convex deck supports your palm in a natural position, so your hand stays comfortable for as long as the session runs.

PF3 Evolution POD Swim Fins

The PF3 Evolution is the longest fin in the POD PF Series and the most flexible. The asymmetric blade centres load over the foot rather than the toe edge, moving with the body more naturally through each kick. Like the PF2, the PF3 carries vertical rails that extend to the blade edge, improving wave hold and keeping the legs from sliding down the wave face.

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
