We have the long standing 25year results! Our customers love the outstanding durability (so strong you could drive a vehicle over) and performance of our POD Bodysurfing Handboards also called hand-planes or hand-surfers.
Our Australian made bodysurfing hand boards are durable, lightweight and neutral buoyancy thanks to the solid recyclable polypropylene construction with mineral base pearl colour pigments.
The concave-shaped bottom and keel fin are specifically designed for fast lift and will help to make you a wave-holding expert!
Our handboards keep your hands in the natural swimming position and the double padded board straps and palm deck pad makes them comfortable to use. If you’re looking for extra speed, lift and control then our POD Handboards should be on the top of your list!
A bodysurfing hand board or hand plane should be neutral buoyancy; they are more comfortable to swim with when cutting into the surface of the water with no extra load to your swimming stroke, also its more accessible to stroke the board to the middle of your body maintaining excellent balance.
Body surfing hand boards that are over buoyant make it challenging to cut into the surface of the water while swimming, it also adds extra load to your hand, wrist and arm, furthermore twisting your body to one side.
*Note: We highly recommend adjusting the hand strap snug once over your hand. With further use just slide your hand in between the strap and the deck grip. This will ensure the Velcro remains attached and lasts for many years.

My Dad found these in a surf shop in Bondi junction when i was 15 years old, he got a wooden one and picked up one of these for me kicking off a love of body surfing, back then i could throw it and some fins in a bag and catch the bus to the beach, or ride my bike, easy, very durable, 3 of my mates ended up with them as well. It's still going strong 24 years later, I'm 39 this year, don't think I've even replaced the strap...
I have had a Pod Handboard for around 10 years and recently had to purchase another one as my son kept taking mine whenever we are were at the beach. We both love them.
I love your products. Used the same hand board for 8 yrs its still good to go, just need to replace the hand board and wrist strap. Keep up the good work!
Smooth,light and worth buying. Easy to use and they feel great on a wave. Delivery services is the best :)
Only used it once so far but lots of potential. Step up from my old handboard and in lime green it not only performs it looks good to. Looking forward to some cleaner waves to really give it a whirl.
I bought this wonderful looking Pod for my grandson for Christmas. I'll be interested in his view after his holiday. Thank you for your efficient service and for producing a quality product.
Prompt, efficient and friendly service. Most impressed by personnel nature Good quality products
I bought one for my husband for fathers day - when asked for his review he said "Awesome!". I just bought another for my father, a keen body surfer, for christmas. Great service as well.
I emailed you a few months back regarding the pod timber handboards. I couldn't hold out and so I bought one of the $60 solid plastic handboards. Without doubt it is one of the best products I have ever bought. I can't stop recommending them to people. It has opened up a whole new relationship with the ocean.
