Asymmetric Blade. Full Carry. The Experienced Rider's Travel Bundle.
The POD Waterproof Backpack 40L, WOW 13" Handboard, and PF3 Evolution 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 PF3's asymmetric blade centres load over the foot and responds precisely to how the rider moves in demanding conditions, the most technically specific fin choice in the PF Series. Three products, three specific jobs, one purchase.
POD Waterproof Backpack 40L
PVC tarpaulin construction with electronically heat-welded seams gives the 40L its waterproof base. Forty litres of capacity seals airtight by rolling the webbing forward three times, then locks with either the top buckle for fast access or the side compression straps when the pack carries on the back for an extended period. The bag floats when sealed correctly.
Upper front pocket at 26cm x 20cm takes a phone, wallet, passport, and keys, accessible without touching the main compartment. Lower front pocket at 27cm x 27cm handles accessories and session gear. Both pockets carry IPX6-rated waterproof zippers. Dual-layer ventilated shoulder straps, a moulded carry handle, an adjustable chest strap, a ventilated back panel, and two D-ring attachment points complete the carry system. Weight stays close to the back across a full gear 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.

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.

- Shade dry only - dry the handboard, fins, and backpack inside and out before storing
