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.

POD Handboards

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 Standard Handboard

POD Standard

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.

Slyde Handboards

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!

The Wedge

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.

Goggles for Bodysurfing

Surf sunglasses and goggles for body surfing are one and the same. They are sunglasses designed for use during water sports. The frames are extra strong and the lenses will not break or fall out even when being pushed by the water. The lenses have a hydrophobic coating which helps the water to sheet off. Surf sunglasses always have a head strap to keep the glasses securely on your head and some surf sunglasses come with an extra layer of protection from loss, a leash that can be secured to a wetsuit or around your neck. Goggle for body surfing (surf sunglasses) do not seal around the eyes but have maximize air circulation to minimize fogging.

The Best Goggles for Bodysurfing

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.
