A Fine-Tuned Fit - Original Classic, PF3, Socks and Deluxe Fin Savers
The POD PF3 Evolution Swim Fins, Original Classic Handboard, Neoprene Fin Socks and Deluxe Fin Savers bring a bodysurfing setup together around the most flexible fin in the PF Series. The Original Classic builds on your hand-lift and holds your line through the wave. The PF3's asymmetric blade is the longest in the series, and it keeps the load centred over your foot rather than the toe edge. Its asymmetric pocket stretches unevenly by design, so the fin socks take up any slack, and the Deluxe Fin Savers keep each fin secure when the surf turns rough.
POD Original Classic Handboard
Solid recyclable polypropylene gives the Original Classic its weight and strength. Mineral-based pearl pigments run through the plastic, so the board flashes in the light like a fish's scales. It floats neutrally, so it stays level in the water. Your arm doesn't have to fight it down or hold it up.
Underneath, a concave hull and built-in keel fin channel the water along the board. That extends the lift your hand already makes on the wave face and helps you hold your direction across it. Your hand rests just above the pivot point. A double-padded neoprene strap and EVA palm pad keep your grip firm without chafing, even when the session runs long.

PF3 Evolution POD Swim Fins
Place the PF3 next to the PF1 and PF2; it's the longest of the three and has the softest flex. The blade is asymmetric. It takes the load across the centre of your foot rather than pushing it out to the toe outer edge, so the fin bends with your leg instead of twisting away from it.
The rails come straight from the PF2. They stand vertical and carry through to the very edge of the blade, where they grip the face and keep your legs from sliding towards the bottom of the wave. The foot pocket is asymmetric too, shaped around the real outline of a foot. Push hard through it and your foot stays locked where you put it.
If you bodysurf or bodyboard and you want every adjustment in your legs to reach the water without a delay, this is the fin. It shows its worth on the waves where getting into position a fraction early or late changes everything. Available in sizes SM to L.

POD Neoprene Fin Socks
The inner arch is where fin socks usually fall short. Stitching sits there, presses against your foot, and wears down over a session. The POD 3mm Neoprene Fin Socks remove that seam altogether with a registered stitch-free design. The arch stays smooth, and the neoprene settles against the inside of your foot like it belongs there.
An asymmetric pocket like the PF3's doesn't stretch evenly. It gives in some places and holds firm in others, following your foot's shape. Wearing a sock underneath lets you take up the slack wherever your foot leaves a gap, so the fit feels even and your foot stays put through every kick.

POD Deluxe Fin Savers
The POD Deluxe Fin Savers use a slim-line buckle-adjustable strap system with 6mm webbing that loops around any swim fin strap and sits flat against the ankle. The 4mm neoprene padding reduces pressure and friction without adding bulk between the foot and the fin. With the PF3's asymmetric pocket, the fin savers are especially useful for maintaining retention and preventing the strap from shifting during movement in surf and turbulent water.
