Handcrafted Timber. Asymmetric Blade. The Experienced Bodysurfer's Pairing.

The POD Original Handcrafted Cedar Handboard and PF3 Evolution Swim Fins suit experienced bodysurfers who want more from both contact points. The handboard is shaped from Australian cedar - individually numbered, hand-coated in marine varnish, and built for riders who value craft as much as function. The PF3 brings the asymmetric blade - the longest in the PF Series and the most flexible - centring load over the foot and moving with the body more naturally through each kick. Two considered choices, paired for the water.

POD Original Handcrafted Cedar Handboard

Since the late 1980s, POD founder and designer Shane Vassallo has handcrafted each signature shape from select-grade Australian cedar. Each board is individually numbered, reflecting its unique grain, weight, and year of creation. Natural variations in timber grain, colour, and weight mean no two boards are identical.

Each board arrives hand-coated a minimum of eight times in marine varnish, with light sanding between each coat for durability, water resistance, and a refined satin finish. It is supplied in a black drawstring neoprene bag.

The convex deck supports a natural hand position in the palm. The concave bottom and keel fin work with water flow to support lift and directional hold through the wave, keeping the board from sliding downward and reducing spray toward the face.

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 fins are manufactured for use within the stated and engraved size range. Using a size more than one size below the specified size alters the intended foot-to-blade ratio and may result in an improper fit or reduced function. Fitting fins to feet larger than the stated size may cause overstretching or overloading, which can compromise the structural integrity of the fin. Such misuse voids warranty coverage. POD rubber fins are made for swimming and are not intended for walking or running. Bending or flexing the blade beyond 35° in any direction may cause tearing or cracking of the blade or sole. Damage resulting from such actions is not covered under warranty. To minimise the risk of damage when moving in shallow water, fins should be used for swimming only. Avoid walking or running forward while wearing fins. Where movement on land or in shallow water is necessary, walking backwards will help prevent undue stress to the blade and foot cavity. This warranty does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
