3. Education.

Anyone and everyone can handboard. There's no way to better learn the mechanics of the ocean. Handboarding unites you with the ocean and divulges all it's little secrets.

4. Inexpensive.

Handboards give you more barrels for your buck. They're an affordable investment for the whole family.

7.Quality.

We use the finest materials in our manufacturing and work ONLY with highly sought after shapers. We pride ourselves on quality. Our exclusive CSC technology sandwiches the foam core of our handboards/handplanes in a 3mm coating of fiber glass cloth. This sandwich technology enhances toughness and strength by 30% as well as reduces weight by approximately 30%, unseen by other manufacturers in the industry.
