The WOW Handboard. The Forgiving Fin. A Natural Starting Point.
The POD WOW 13" Handboard and PF1 Swim Fins pair a lightweight polyurethane handboard with the most forgiving fin in the PF Series. The WOW 13" provides lift and directional hold through the wave with an 18mm concave base and integrated keel fin. The PF1's streamlined rail and natural rubber flex make each kick easier to sustain, reducing joint load across longer sessions. Two products that work the same session, paired in one purchase.
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 across 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. The WOW sits at 330 to 350 grams - the lightest handboard in the POD range.

PF1 POD Swim Fins
The PF1 is the lightest fin in the POD PF Series. Made from natural Malaysian buoyant rubber, it uses a streamlined rail that flows into the blade without vertical top rails. That structure gives the blade more natural flex, making each kick more forgiving and easier to sustain. The symmetrical blade and Splay Rails® support balanced movement and stable, controlled progress through the water. Drainage channels allow quick release of water and sand from the foot pocket.
The PF1 suits pool training, open-water swimming, and ocean use across bodysurfing, bodyboarding, and kneeboarding. For beginners, younger riders, and fitness swimmers, the combination of forgiving flex and low weight makes movement easier to maintain and control.
