POD Fin Chart

Please Note the below foot size chat is what we highly recommend for all model POD fins.

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

However we do not recommend fitting into two sizes down as this can tear the sole over time, which is not cover under warrantee.

Developed in Hawaii with input from world renowned pros such as Mark Cunningham and Brian Keaulana, DaFiN was granted a U.S. Patent for its original design. DaFiN combines unparalleled comfort with exacting construction to create a swim fin that performs under the most extreme conditions.

The side rails — the “strakes”— on DaFiN are rock solid but run only about half way down the length of the fin where they angle back to the blade. This forces the fin to flex right at this critical point. The raised v-shaped foot pocket combined with a stiff blade working together at the point of flex creates maximum acceleration of the water flowing over the fin surface resulting in more thrust per kick with less effort. For such a powerful fin, it is unusually light in weight. DaFiN floats in the ocean and there is no right or left foot difference so DaFiN can be worn on either foot.

DaFiN has earned its reputation with strong endorsements from the world’s best watermen and has become the #1 choice of lifeguards, bodysurfers, and top watermen around the world.

The company also manufactures Kicks fins, a high performance bodyboarding fin developed by Cochran and Hawaii bodyboarding legend Aka Lyman. For more information on Kicks fins, click on the Kicks logo to the right.

POD Standard

POD handboards are made from solid polypropylene moulding, which has the benefits of being lightweight, whilst retaining strength and buoyancy.

Furthermore the boards are designed to last the distance and can take a fair amount of body bashing.

The POD design is engineered for extreme bodysurfing. Your hand is strapped in the natural swimming position, directly about the board’s pivot point and keel fin.

The concave-shaped bottom and keel fin will ensure rapid elevation onto the wave and help you hone your wave-holding technique.

The result? Less drag in the water, maximum speed, and greater control.

POD Handcrafted

Limited Edition POD Handboards are made from a select grade Australia Cedar.

They are handcrafted by the founder himself Shane Vassallo, he individually stamps each board with a model number the year made and even a board weight.

They are all hand coated with a minimum of 7-8 coats of polyurethane and lightly sanded in between coats.

The variation in price is due to grain appearance and characteristics, shape, weights and imperfections in the timber grain.

Woody

We bring you up close and personal to the wedge series “woody” handboard/handplane. The first reaction from most people to the woody is how sick it looks. The next is to how light it is. The woody is made with either White Oak, birch, or maple and the darker version is a walnut or cherry wood Veneer.

Our CSC technology sandwiches the foam core in a 3mm layer of PVC foam. This sandwich technology increases strength by 30% and decreases weight by nearly 30%. Our vacuum seal process creates a full and completely seamless cover over the whole-board which eliminates weak spots found in many other sandwich surf boards.

Wedge Pro Series

The Wedge Pro Series is the culmination of a whole lot of riding Handboards the set consists five designs The Fat Cat, Hell wave, Flame Head, Blu-Ray and the Envy this series of designs was crafted by the magnificent Paul Mascatelli of our famed Art Syndikit.

The name “the wedge” comes from three angles. Most think its named after the Newport beach wedge but it’s actually a secret spot on the east coast of South Africa, A spot we rode a few years back. Wedge also seems to be the Nick name given to wave with a tendency for freakish behavior and great for bodysurfing with sick drops and most likely annihilation at the end of the ride. This name was Probably brought on by the Newport beach Wedge. Thirdly the board reminded us of a wedge of cake so tasty looking you could eat it. don’t ask we are a strange bunch!

Grommet

The Wedge Grommet like the Pro model is designed by our crew of shapers and has the same custom swallow tailed shape as its senior cousin the Wedge Pro. However the Grommet was designed with minor changes to accommodate less experienced riders. Not everyone wants to ride 10 foot dumping shore break! The major difference Is the volume, rails and size. Slightly longer by an 1.5′ and with rounder rails the Grommet allows for more leniency in your turns and due to the increased volume far more buoyancy on smaller waves. Also the Grommet does not come with Slyde Syndikit art work.

More Fun in the water

Grab one and go. The Surf-Grip is made of a lightweight and bendable EPE (expanded poly-ethylene) paddle with a handle for buoyancy and planing. It floats and wants to stay on the surface.

A mini water ski or wake-board for your hand. Easy grip handle with no leashes or finger holds to slow you down. It’s 3D shape creates a “wave wall” which can provide some additional speed and momentum from the ‘fire hose” effect.

The Surf-Grip surface is soft so it is safer in crowded breaks. Probably the lowest price hand plane available.

Tierra del Fuego

The Tierra del Fuego have hydrophobic coated lenses which repel water along with oils and dust particles – your glasses will stay clean for longer. When they do get dirty, hydrophobic lenses clean easier than normal lenses.

Cool, extremely comfortable sunglasses that are great for use on the land or in the sea. Dark and yellow lenses included.

Mauricio

Excellent drainage, a hydrophobic water shield coating on the lenses, and a non-elastic head strap make these sunglasses a favorite for body surfers. There is
some danger of loosing a lens in the surf.
