The Handplane Project

About 6yrs ago? My friend Ky snapped his longboard in half during a huge swell at Cardiff Reef.
Not too long ago my friend Lucas and I decided to make handplanes for bodysurfing. Lucas happened to have part of that longboard stored at his house.
We decided to strip the fiberglass off of it and use the leftover foam to make our handplanes.

A research and development bodysurf session near Hospitals reef in La Jolla.


Our different templates(shapes).


Last Sunday was another Research & Development session at windansea.

Here is my handplane..the shaping part is almost finished. Next we will start glassing them. Stay tuned..
