Why Use A Handboard

Sign up here
Bodysurfing with a handboard or handplane is simply way more fun than bodysurfing without. The added use of a handboard or handplane, as they are commonly referred to, allows the bodysurfer to get more speed and lift out of the water. It is not uncommon to generate enough speed with a handboard to round a section of a wave or to get barreled. Take a look at some of our Slyde Ryder pictures, or check out the Slyde Handboards videos or home page for images and videos that show how great the boards work in the waves. Not only does a handboard increase speed, it also allows for more control on the face of the wave and gives you more maneuverability while you are bodysurfing. You see, you don’t need one, but a handboard makes your experience in the water that much more enjoyable. Why wouldn’t you want to do that? It’s like we say around here, “life is better with a handboard!” Sign up to be an ambassador
