Vertical Rails in the Water. Full Carry on Land. One Travel Bundle.
The POD Waterproof Backpack 40L, WOW 13" Handboard, and PF2 Swim Fins cover every contact point for the experienced bodysurfer travelling with a full setup. The 40L carries everything sealed against water, sand, and impact. The WOW 13" is the lightest handboard in the POD range at 330 to 350 grams. The PF2 carries vertical rails that keep the legs stable on the wave face and support controlled, directed movement through more demanding ocean conditions. Three products, three specific jobs, one purchase.
POD Waterproof Backpack 40L
Heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin with electronically heat-welded seams gives the 40L its waterproof foundation. Roll the webbing forward three times to seal the main compartment airtight, then choose between the top buckle clip for fast access or the side compression straps when the pack stays on the back for longer. Sealed correctly, it floats.
The two IPX6-rated front pockets sit fully independent of the main compartment. The upper pocket at 26cm x 20cm holds a phone, wallet, passport, and keys. The lower pocket at 27cm x 27cm holds accessories and session gear. Dual-layer ventilated shoulder straps spread the load and keep air moving across the contact zone. The moulded carry handle, adjustable chest strap, ventilated back panel, and two D-ring attachment points complete the system. Weight stays close to the back for controlled carry under a full load. Available in Black/Black and Black/White.

POD WOW 13" Bodysurfing Handboard
The WOW 13" is a 330mm polyurethane handboard with a weight, density, and rigidity profile tuned for lightweight durability and flex rebound. The 18mm concave base with integrated mono-keel fin channels water flow to support lift and directional hold through the wave. The convex palm hold deck supports a natural hand position and reduces strain during longer sessions.
The polyurethane construction is crack-resistant and suited to regular surf use across a wide range of conditions without the maintenance requirements of a timber board. At 330 to 350 grams, it is the lightest handboard in the POD range and the most practical choice for travel.

PF2 POD Swim Fins
The PF2 is the most structured fin in the POD PF Series. Made from natural Malaysian buoyant rubber, it carries vertical rails that extend to the blade edge, improving wave hold and keeping the legs from sliding down the wave face. The sole ramp-up reduces unnecessary toe movement and improves comfort under load. The symmetric Chisel Blade® and Splay Rails® distribute load evenly and support controlled, directed movement through the water.
The PF2 suits swimming, open-water training, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, kneeboarding, lifesaving, and ocean photography across a wide range of conditions.
