EGO 225mm 9inch Wood POD Handboards - Bodysurfing Handplanes

The Little EGO 225mm 9inch Cedar Walnut POD® Handboards - 100% Custom Built for Bodysurfing

There’s nothing quite like our beautifully crafted POD handboards shapes, our 225 mm/9 inch solid Cedar and Walnut Hand Body Soul® bodysurfing handplanes are crafted like no other.

Little EGO POD Handboard perfectly fits in the palm of your hand and in some cases just past your figure tips providing 22 cm x 20 cm planning surface area.

EGO was not only intended for single use, but also purposely designed to bodysurf with one on either hand, the Duo POD Handboards increasing your lifting force, balance and double your swimming stroke, the little Ego is sure to boost any bodysurfer’s self-confidence.

Purpose of Cedar Walnut Construction

These POD hand planes come in three sizes crafted by combining walnut for the centre and cedar for the sides. The walnut centre acts like a surfboard stringer, providing strength, while the lighter-weight cedar forms the wings of the hand-plane.

Ergonomic Hand Support

Also, for the first time, Shane has designed an ergonomic palm hold above the handboard deck surface, improving hand position and comfort.

The palm support relieves the arm muscles from stress, typically from flat deck surfaces, and most of all, holds your hand in place, preventing your hand from slipping out from under the double-padded neoprene strap.

New 50mm Handboard Strap Retainers

Purposely custom-built retainer insert plugs with a stainless steel rod to suit the assembled 50mm/2inch webbing strap and wrist cord, unlike other bodysurfing handplanes that use a smaller 25 mm/1 inch surfboard plug.

No Discomfort Over The Hand

The POD 65mm wide Hand Strap provides snug comfort over the hand and is not like other bodysurfing handplanes thinner handboard strap causing skin irritation.

Now you have three POD body surfing handplanes to choose from

• "EGO" = Length 225 mm/9 inch x Width 200 mm/7.87 inches x D 41 mm/1.61 inches

The natural wood grain variations, Cedar and Walnut contrasting colours, Sic Cut® shape and timber density make each handboard one-of-a-kind.
