What a handplane does

A handplane gives your leading hand a small planing surface, lifting your chest out of the water so you go faster and trim along the face. Paired with swim fins, it turns a fun shorebreak into a real session with almost no gear to carry. Wood planes look classic and ride beautifully, foam planes are light and forgiving.

Getting started

Most planes use a simple hand strap, so look for an adjustable fit. Bodysurfing is the most stripped-down way to ride a wave, easy to learn and endlessly fun on small days.

Frequently asked questions

What is a handplane for?
A handplane is a small planing surface for your hand that lifts your body higher in the water while bodysurfing, so you ride faster and trim along the wave. It is used with swim fins.
Do I need fins to use a handplane?
Fins are strongly recommended. They give the kick power to catch waves and get into position, which is what lets the handplane do its job once you are on the wave.
