Polyurethane Lift. Asymmetric Drive. The Full Experienced Rider's Setup.

The POD WOW 13" Handboard, PF3 Evolution Swim Fins, Neoprene Fin Socks, and Fin Savers with Heel Protectors cover every contact point for the experienced bodysurfer. The WOW 13" is a polyurethane handboard with an 18mm concave base and integrated keel fin - a different construction from both the polypropylene Original Classic and the Hand Body Soul® cedar walnut range. The PF3 brings the asymmetric blade - the most flexible fin in the PF Series - centring load over the foot and responding precisely to how the rider moves. The fin socks refine the fit inside the asymmetric foot pocket. The fin savers and heel protectors secure the connection at the ankle. Four products, four specific jobs.

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.

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.

POD Neoprene Fin Socks

The POD 3mm Neoprene Fin Socks use a registered stitch-free inner arch construction. The inner arch is left smooth rather than stitched, removing the most common source of discomfort associated with standard fin socks. The sock naturally hugs the medial arch of the foot without irritation. With the PF3's asymmetric foot pocket distributing stretch differently from a symmetric design, fin socks help refine the fit and maintain a more secure connection where needed.

Small: 6-7
Medium: 7-9

Extra Large: 10-12

POD Fin Savers and Heel Protectors

The POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors use a single streamlined ONE-Strap webbing connection between the ankle and the rubber fin strap. That single strap reduces the bulk and drag associated with wider webbing systems. Soft neoprene heel pads wrap around the fin strap to prevent chafing, stabilise the heel, and improve retention in surf, shore break, and moving water. With the PF3's asymmetric foot pocket, the fin savers are especially useful for maintaining retention and preventing the strap from shifting during movement.

Care - Handboard and Swim Fins

Fresh water rinse after every surf - handboard, fins, socks, and savers
Shade dry only - avoid direct sunlight for extended periods
Avoid direct heat - never leave gear inside a vehicle on a hot day
Store correctly - lay the WOW handboard flat and keep fins upright to maintain shape

Heat warning - do not leave handboard or fins in sun or hot car

POD fins are manufactured for use within the stated and engraved size range. Using a size more than one size below the specified size alters the intended foot-to-blade ratio and may result in an improper fit or reduced function. Fitting fins to feet larger than the stated size may cause overstretching or overloading, which can compromise the structural integrity of the fin. Such misuse voids warranty coverage. POD rubber fins are made for swimming and are not intended for walking or running. Bending or flexing the blade beyond 35° in any direction may cause tearing or cracking of the blade or sole. Damage resulting from such actions is not covered under warranty. To minimise the risk of damage when moving in shallow water, fins should be used for swimming only. Avoid walking or running forward while wearing fins. Where movement on land or in shallow water is necessary, walking backwards will help prevent undue stress to the blade and foot cavity. This warranty does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
