Hand Planes

Maybe the waves aren’t great, or maybe they are spectacular. Either way, a Hand Plane can let you experience body surfing like nothing else, and you can carry all your gear in a small back-pack. Originally going mainstream when Tom Morey started producing the “Handgun” back in the 70’s, a Hand Plane can make a day you didn’t think was worth surfing a complete blast, even if you forgot to pack a surfboard. I keep one in my car, just in case! Check out Kalani Lattanzi Taylor in Indonesia to see some epic hand-planing, and a good explanation of how it helps take your body surfing to the next level.

Dream it. Build it. Surf it.
