Maximum Surface. Asymmetric Blade. The Full Experienced Rider's Setup.
The POD FLO Cedar Walnut Handboard, PF3 Evolution Swim Fins, and Fin Savers with Heel Protectors pair the largest wood handboard in the Hand Body Soul® range with the most flexible fin in the PF Series and a complete ankle retention system. The FLO's deep 20mm concave and maximum surface area suit experienced riders in powerful surf. The PF3's asymmetric blade centres load over the foot and responds precisely to how the rider moves. The fin savers and heel protectors secure that connection at the ankle and prevent loss in turbulent water. Four products chosen for the same demanding conditions.
FLO Cedar Walnut Handboard - Hand Body Soul®
The FLO is the largest handboard in the Hand Body Soul® range at 375mm (15 inches). The cedar and walnut construction delivers a deep 20mm concave bottom with integrated keel fin, providing maximum surface area for lift and directional hold in powerful surf. The 50mm hand strap with 65mm neoprene padding keeps the connection secure and comfortable across longer sessions. The convex deck supports a natural hand position in the palm.

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. The asymmetric foot pocket follows the natural contour of the foot for a precise connection under load.
The PF3 suits experienced bodysurfers and bodyboarders who want a fin that responds precisely to how they move, particularly in conditions where timing, direction, and wave positioning matter most. Available in sizes SM through L.

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.
- ONE-Strap webbing connection - single strap sits flat between ankle and rubber fin strap
- Reduces bulk and drag at the ankle
- Neoprene heel pads prevent chafing and stabilise the heel
- No plastic hardware at connection points
- POD Registered Design
