Why Bodysurfing Handplanes Are Perfect gift for Father’s Day, Birthdays and Christmas
Looking for a surfing gift that is unexpected, unique, unforgettable and actually gets used? Forget slippers, soap on a rope or another pair of novelty socks. For dads, mums, partners, mates or kids who love the beach, the best gift might just be a bodysurfing handplane.
Whether it is Father’s Day, a birthday or Christmas morning, a gifted WAW Handplane will turns any trip to the beach into an adventure. It is wave catching gear that is fun, functional, eco friendly and yes, it fits in a beach bag.
Why Give a Handplane?
More Speed
& Control
A bodysurfing handplane is not just a surf accessory. It is a compact tool that helps you glide further, faster and with more control when bodysurfing. Think of it as your secret weapon in the water, a simple piece of bodysurfing gear that unlocks a whole new level of fun.
It is also a brilliant gift for anyone who loves the ocean. From seasoned water lovers to first timers, a handplane encourages more time in the ocean, more connection to nature and much more fun in the waves.
Meet the WAW Range
At WAW Handplanes, we have designed a lineup of wave riding tools that blend performance, sustainability and style. Each handplane is shaped for speed and control, whether you are chasing barrels or just enjoying a playful shore break.
WAW BadFish is Australian made from recycled ocean plastic and is our signature eco handplane. It is lightweight, durable and helps clean the ocean with every unit made. A smart choice for sustainability minded surfers.
WAW Timber Fish is a beautifully hand carved wooden handboard made from FSC certified timber. It is smooth, buoyant and built to last. It also looks just as good on display as it feels gliding down a wave.
Handplane DIY Kits are for the maker in your life. These kits include everything needed to shape and finish a custom hand surfing device at home. A creative and hands on gift for those who enjoy a good project.
Swim Fin Packages, pair a handplane with a set of bodysurf fins to create a complete wave sliding setup, ready for summer. Perfect for gifting to someone just getting started or looking to level up their surf game.
Good for the Ocean and Great for Gifting
WAW does not just make surfing equipment. We make gear that matters. Our sustainable surfing tools are designed with the ocean in mind, using recycled and responsibly sourced materials. When you give a WAW Handplane, you are not just giving a gift. You are giving and sharing a story and helping protect the places we all love. Catch waves and clean the ocean at the same time.
Our packaging is simple, recyclable and ready to be slipped straight under the tree, into a birthday bag or handed over with pride on Father’s Day morning.

Not everyone has room for a full surfboard. A WAW handplane is compact surf gear at its best. Lightweight, easy to carry and suitable for all skill levels, it is the kind of gift that gets used again and again.
