Handboards made by talented hands with the best timber
Our handplanes have been carefully designed to help you move faster and stay on waves for longer, cutting your drag and increasing your speed so you can rocket through the water. Available in two designs for beginners up to experts, our wooden handplanes/handboards offer bodysurfers of all ability levels the ultimate wave riding experience.
We’re dedicated to giving back to the planet that’s given us so much. To ensure that everyone can enjoy a beautiful world, we build all of our boards out of high-quality wood sourced from sustainable, plantation timber forests. To replace the timber that we use we work closely with the Carbon Neutral Charity Fund, planting one tree for every handplane we sell. Give back to the planet and get barrelled without leaving a trace with WAW Handplanes.
