Original Hand Crafted Wood POD Handboard
There's nothing quite like our beautifully handcrafted, signature-shaped POD bodysurfing handboards, since 1993, and limited edition solid timber bodysurfing handplanes.
Since the late 1980s, our founder and designer, Shane Vassallo, has been hand-making each hardboard from select-grade Australian cedar, taking great care to individually number it, along with its corresponding board weight and year of manufacture.
The natural variations of the wood's grain colouring, shape and weight make each handboard one-of-a-kind. The handboard is delivered in a black drawstring neoprene bag, having been hand-coated a minimum of 8 times with marine-grade wood varnish and lightly sanded between each coat.
For the dedicated bodysurfer looking for a brag-worthy, unique product with outstanding performance, we highly recommend the POD Handcrafted Solid Wooden Handboard.
Bodysurfing Handplane Results
- All POD handboard decks are convex, providing comfort in the palm of your hand.
- The bottom surface is concave, providing optimum lift, Speed, and Control in the surf.
The concave bottom and keel fin are explicitly engineered for rapid lift versus force; this will assist in your body surfing and wave-holding skills without your board sliding down, with barely any splashback towards the face.
