Description
Welcome to the world of the POD® WOW 13" Handboard , a true revolution in bodysurfing. Made from innovative, ultra-light polyurethane , this handboard isn't just environmentally friendly: it's engineered to deliver superior performance. Its exclusive shape virtually eliminates splashes, while the world's first ergonomic palm support, combined with a double-padded strap, guarantees unmatched comfort and a natural, secure grip . At just 330-340 grams , the WOW is 25% lighter than wood, completely maintenance-free, remarkably resistant to impacts and cracks, and boasts responsive flex and rebound.
To give you an idea, if this board were made from raw polypropylene (PP), it would weigh approximately 710 grams, more than 200% more than its current weight. We carefully selected our custom PU for its optimal balance of lightness, strength, and durability, unlike heavier and less reliable recycled plastics.
With 35 years of dedicated experience, POD uses the best materials and the highest quality for functional bodysurfing. No greenwashing here, just pure wave riding. Strap on your POD handplane and feel the difference.
Ergonomic design highlights:
- Ergonomic details and contour: Three-dimensional asymmetrical shape reflecting the natural curvature of the palm.
- Support: A subtle, convex dome aligns with the metacarpal region, gently lifting and supporting the hand.
- Surface Profile: The surface profile tapers towards the wrist and deck edges with a slight incline, reducing overextension and promoting a neutral hand posture for a natural stroke.
- Benefits: All-day comfort: Reduces tension and fatigue by supporting the hand's natural resting position.
- Ergonomic alignment: Helps maintain a neutral wrist position, minimizing the risk of injury.
- Intuitive Fit: Designed for a “just-in-place” feel under the hand, providing an effortless ergonomic experience.
Maintenance and precaution:
- Wash the handboard with clean water and dry it in the shade after each use.
- Please do not leave it in the sun or in the car during hot summer days, excessive heat could damage it.
