POD Body Surfing Handboards are engineered and designed to last the distance of years of bodysurfing or body bashing if not a lifetime.
POD Ware has developed over 30 years three different model hand boards the original Limited Edition Solid Hand Crafted Timber, Solid Moulded Plastic and the latest versatile Hand Body Soul® POD bodysurfing handboard that you can ride either way!
Others refer to body surfing hand boards as hand planes, hand surfers and even hand surfboard.
The POD handboards plastic model made from solid polypropylene moulding, so robust you could drive a truck over, yet remains lightweight while retaining strength and buoyancy. This model is the perfect addition to bodysurfing collections of both novice and experienced body-surfers alike.

These quality solid timber body surfing hand planes are best suited to the dedicated and experienced body surfer.
