The Slyde Board Collection
Slyde Handboards® or more commonly referred to as "hand planes" but also go by the name hand gun, body surfboard or bodysurfing handplanes. We like the name Handboards! whatever you end up calling yours the purpose of you boards is to increase the surface area of your hand when body surfing, Therefore giving you higher lift out of the water and doubling your speed along the face of the wave. It is not uncommon to ride a wave all the way to the beach.
Also due to the fact that you are able to catch the wave a lot later than you would normally on a standup surfboard, the Handboard allow you to get in later and get shacked on waves you wouldn't otherwise have been able to. It's one of those thing you just have to try to understand.
All our Handboards are initially hand shaped and crafted by a team of professionals with years of experience. read more at Jason Hoffman and Marius Joubert The Slyde design team is continuously looking for ways to deliver cutting-edge performance to our boards. We will be adding more shapes to our quiver shortly.
