WHY SUPPORT HANDY?
I’ve spent countless hours shaping handplanes (aka handboards), a hands-on creative process I’ve loved for over four years. It has always been a journey of discovery, and testing new designs in the surf was my favourite part, especially getting barreled.
Last year, I had to step away from the tools. That’s when the Hippy Trippy production journey began.
By backing this Kickstarter, you won’t just get one of the first Hippy Trippys at a special launch price, you’ll become part of the Handy story and help shape its future.
