"Well what can I say. It's been almost a year since I got my first handboard from you guys and I honestly don't think i'll ever touch my surfboard again :) Your product is amazing and so much fun! Even the local surfers don't curse me out anymore for stealing their waves - some have even tried my board and were mighty stoked at the speed it generates on the waves.

""We were able to give the handboards a go during our trip and we are just blown away! I bodysurf quite a bit and have made countless numbers of handplanes and I have to say that these are some of the best, most comfortable, and fastest boards we have used!!!"

"At some point in time, every surfer gets burnt out. Whether it be poor surf for weeks, or just not surfing like you usually do. When you start to get this feeling, grab a slyde board and go have some fun. Get barreled, get pummeled, get sand in your face. It will reinstate your love for the ocean."

"I travel a ton for my job so I wanted to be able to enjoy the waves even when I go overseas. Angela and Steve were so amazing about helping me get set up with the right one. Just took it out this morning for the first time and had the most FUN I'VE EVER HAD in the water. All the older guys in the parking lot were probably wondering why I was giggling hysterically after my session. Can't wait to take this on the road with me! Thanks guys!"

"I was amazed by the speed I could get on the board, I found myself having to either stall or do turns to stop from 'out running' the wave which is unheard of while bodysurfing normally! The difference the boards were amazing; they really can be the difference between the wave of the session or just another"

" I have used the handboard a few times of late and love it. Rugby killed my knees and ankles over the years so spending ages getting into position and staying there takes its toll pretty quick with fins on but with the board I found it gave me enough buoyancy to hang out there way longer. The rides were tons of fun as well...I am impressed!"

"Surf is going to be 6-8 foot this weekend and can’t wait as my slyde board makes it easy to drive down the line. Every time I come out of the water after using if I am stoked…and I can’t say that about surfing. This thing is just sweet as!"

"I would just like you to understand one thing... I had so many emotions flushing through me, damn near heavenly playing around at piha that day, and that emotion was built with your hands and an idea. It has made me all fired up inside to learn more and practice, it was our first time on a bodysurfing board of any kind and it handled so incredible

Frothing Enthusiast!!!"

"I emailed Steve about a year ago questioning the size of your boards. I did the measurements and just thought "way too big" I purchased an Enjoy handplane instead but have always wondered what your boards were like. Since they were on sale I thought I would give them a go. Took a couple of surfs to get used to the larger size but I must say I'm impressed with the power and speed you can generate with your boards. They look amazing also. Well done."

"Stoked on these handplanes! They worked extremely well and brought endless smiles to an intrepid session! Thanks Slyde!"
