POD FLO 375mm 15" Wood Handboard Bodysurfing Handplane
More infoPOD FLO 375mm 15" Wood Handboard Bodysurfing Handplane. FLO 375mm 15inch Cedar Walnut POD® Handboards 100% Custom Built For Bodysurfing. There’s nothing quite like our beautifully crafted Flo 375mm 15inch solid Cedar and Walnut POD handboard Hand Body Soul® bodysurfing handplanes crafted like no other!
Since the late ’80s, our founder and artisan Shane Vassallo with a passion for bodysurfing, has been hand shaping each handboard out of select grade Australian or Canadian cedar and limited range of other wood species.
For the very first time, Shane has designed ergonomic palm hold and support on the handboard deck surface, between the new purposely custom-built 50mm/2inch hand strap retainer inserts to suit 50mm/2inch webbing strap. Not like other bodysurfing handplanes use of a small 25mm/1inch surfboard plug and a thin handboard strap causing discomfort over the hand. The palm support relieves the arm muscles from stress, typically from handplanes with flat decks and most of all holds your hand in place, prevents your hand from slipping out from under the double padded neoprene strap.
