Handboarding at its Best - The Classic Solid Recyclable Plastic POD Handboards Available in Vibrant Pearl Colours
We have the long standing 25year results! Our customers love the outstanding durability (so strong you could drive a vehicle over) and performance of our POD Bodysurfing Handboards also called hand-planes or hand-surfers.
Our Australian made bodysurfing hand boards are durable, lightweight and neutral buoyancy thanks to the solid recyclable polypropylene construction with mineral base pearl colour pigments.
The concave-shaped bottom and keel fin are specifically designed for fast lift and will help to make you a wave-holding expert!
Our handboards keep your hands in the natural swimming position and the double padded board straps and palm deck pad makes them comfortable to use. If you’re looking for extra speed, lift and control then our POD Handboards should be on the top of your list!
Neutral Buoyancy Hand-boards
A bodysurfing hand board or hand plane should be neutral buoyancy; they are more comfortable to swim with when cutting into the surface of the water with no extra load to your swimming stroke, also its more accessible to stroke the board to the middle of your body maintaining excellent balance.
Body surfing hand boards that are over buoyant make it challenging to cut into the surface of the water while swimming, it also adds extra load to your hand, wrist and arm, furthermore twisting your body to one side.

Plastic POD
I went for this one on the price point and the fact that it uses recycled plastic in it's construction. This a well made unit, I like the strap and the plane works fine for me. I end for ended it, to see how it would go with the "short" end forward and decided I didn't like the instability in that direction. I do find that some of my other handplanes are easier to swim with, but that's not a deal breaker...

24 Years...
My Dad found these in a surf shop in Bondi junction when i was 15 years old, he got a wooden one and picked up one of these for me kicking off a love of body surfing, back then i could throw it and some fins in a bag and catch the bus to the beach, or ride my bike, easy, very durable, 3 of my mates ended up with them as well. It's still going strong 24 years later, I'm 39 this year, don't think I've even replaced the strap...

Green Slide
Only used it once so far but lots of potential. Step up from my old handboard and in lime green it not only performs it looks good to. Looking forward to some cleaner waves to really give it a whirl.
