The Handy Bodysurfing Handplane 2026 Range
A lot of handplanes came out of the garage. Three kept coming back to the front of the rack. These are the boards we’re launching with in 2026.
Handy didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a garage with some leftover resin, lots of ideas, and a bunch of bodysurfers giving honest feedback on what worked and what didn’t. The Handy Crew is the formalised version of that. Here’s what it is, why it exists, and what you actually get.
Every shape in the current Handy lineup made the cut because of honest feedback from bodysurfers. The Model H going viral wasn’t a marketing campaign. It was a community moment. A direct line between Handy and the people who actually bodysurf them. No middlemen, zero noise.
The Handy Crew is how that evolution continues. Made by bodysurfers, for bodysurfers.
It’s not a loyalty program. It’s not a discount club. The whole idea is that the people in the Crew help shape the brand. That means decisions like which colourways get made, what comes next, what gets built.
The list, plainly. No fluff.
No fine print. No “valid on selected lines only.” No “expires in 30 days.” The Crew works because it’s straightforward.
A few things are on the horizon that aren’t ready yet.
A proper member area on the site, somewhere members can log sessions, share waves, find other Crew nearby. A surf calendar, basically. Not a forum, not a Facebook group. Something genuinely useful that grows into a community over time. That’s a 2027 build, not 2026, but it’s where this is heading.
A Crew trip. The plan is an annual surf trip for Crew members. We’ve parked it for now until the brand has its feet under it, but it’s on the list. When the time’s right, it happens.
A few other things we’re keeping quiet on for now.

Hey everyone,
Handy started as something I was making for myself. But somewhere along the way it became bigger than that, and now I want to build it with you, not just for you.
The Handy Crew is how I want to do that. Big enough to matter, small enough that everyone in it has a real say. Built with bodysurfers, not just for them.
See you in the water,
Klooty
