Whether you call it a handboard or handplane, the Hippy Trippy is made for one thing, chase stoke.

Every curve and contour of The Hippy Trippy handplane (aka handboard) has been meticulously designed, tested, and refined in all types of surf conditions. From the thicker rails near the hand for added volume to the swallow tail that provides extra stability and lift, and the contoured bottom that starts at the nose and leads into a subtle channel in the tail for just the right amount of bite – we’ve focused on creating a board that not only performs exceptionally but also feels natural and intuitive. This isn’t just another handplane; it’s a genuine surf craft.

Effortless Speed & Control: Designed and built to be incredibly lightweight, The Hippy Trippy minimises drag and maximises lift and glide. You’ll barely notice it on your hand, allowing you to really dial in your line and pick up speed with ease.

Superior Swimmability: Forget cumbersome handplanes that hinder your swimming. The Hippy Trippy’s streamlined design and featherlight construction make moving through the water effortless. It’s built for seamless transitions and minimal effort, so you can focus on catching waves.

Epic Responsiveness: Whether you’re trimming down the line or tucking into a barrel, this shape absolutely loves it. From small, mushy waves to overhead kegs, The Hippy Trippy froths in all conditions, giving you a truly versatile handplane.

FCS Fin Plug for Customisation: To add to The Hippy Trippy’s performance, we’ve included an FCS fin plug for those who love a fin. Don’t like fins? Easy – leave it off! The Hippy Trippy allows for customisation of your bodysurfing experience, so you can surf the way you like. As an optional extra, we have a single-tab fibreglass fin that improves speed, adds extra bite for those heavier days, and increases stability all round.

Comfortable, Wide Strap: The strap was something we didn’t want to skimp on. It’s your vital connection to your handplane, and it needs to feel like it fits like a glove. Our wide strap plugs allow for a super comfortable 50mm wide strap with 5mm neoprene padding, strong velcro, and a quick-release strap for easy adjustments. Below the strap, a 3mm grip pad provides a soft cushion for your palm while also securing your hand firmly to the board.

Padded Leash for Comfort: Like the strap, the leash is designed for comfort. It features 2mm neoprene padding and a short length that attaches to the leash plug, conveniently placed at the back top of the board.

Handy Board Bag That Doubles as a Drink Cooler! Our vision is to keep your handplane Handy – pun intended! Keeping it in your car, ready for when the waves turn on, is a big part of why we started this journey: to chase the stoke. So, having a board bag that keeps your handplane protected while not taking up too much space was our goal. In the process, we stumbled across something that can do all this and keep your drinks cool while you surf! The padded thermo lining does exactly that.
