Deluxe Bodysurfing Gear - Original Handcrafted Wood POD Handboard and POD Fins PF3 - Swim Fins

There’s nothing quite like our beautifully handcrafted, limited edition solid timber bodysurfing handplane!

Since the late 80’s, our founder and designer Shane Vassallo has been hand making each hardboard out of select grade Australian cedar and then takes great care to individually number it along with its unique board weight and year made.

The natural variations of the wood’s grain colouring, shape and weight makes each handboard one-of-a-kind.

The handboard comes to you in a black draw string neoprene bag after it has been hand coated a minimum of 8 times with polyurethane and lightly sanded in 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.

All POD handboards decks are Convex = Comfort in the palm of your hand

The bottom surface are  Concave = Optimum Lift, Speed, and Control in the surf

The concave bottom and keel fin is explicitly engineered for rapid lift versus force; this will assist in your body surfing and wave-holding skills without your board sliding downwards!

Note: Please review the numbered boards available, please add this board number in the notes when placing your order.

Handboard Numbering as follows POD/YEAR/Board No. also W = Weight

Others may try to imitate but none will even come close to the research and development that has gone into the PF3 Evolution Line.

These performance fins are sought after by experienced bodysurfers, bodyboarders and surf photographers. Our Point of Difference (POD) philosophy is what makes the difference in this leading edge surfing swim fin!

*Note: Please use the foot size chart below for all models of POD fins. If you have any doubts whatsoever, please visit your local stockist.

If the length of your foot is slightly longer but matches the same width in the foot size chart, there is still plenty of toe room because the foot pocket itself has been extended for versatile fittings and to ensure a comfortable fit.

POD Fins are not engineered for fittings below the mentioned sizes (more than one foot sizes), this will alter the intended foot size to blade length ratio versus body weight.

This will compromise the swim fin structural strength, due to overweight or overstretching, is not covered under warranty.

Furthermore, POD swim fins are made from quality natural rubber intended for bodyboarding, bodysurfing, kneeboarding, swimming and other related water sports activities, including ocean photographers.

They are not intended for walking or running (they are not joggers nor shoes).

A common sense approach that is highly recommend, walking and/or running backwards will not compromise the swim fin structure

Bending the blade beyond 35° in any direction from walking, running and/or excess load on the blade or sole will cause the sole or blade to tear/crack voids warranty.

Please review in the left hand side product images - the blade length comparison between the PF2's and PF3's this extra blade length will scale the same in all size POD swim fins.
