Introducing handplane #2. One man’s trash is another’s treasure.

*avaliable directly and at Thalia Street Surf Shop

Got a new crop of handplanes shipping out. Look for them at Shelter, Thalia Street, and Wetsand surfshops.

Could be a handplane for bodysurfing, could be footwear. This handplane is made out of the scraps of paulownia left over from making alaias. Erin at Shelter Surf Shop prompted me to make these. I thought it was a pretty good idea, as the wood is so light and corky it feels like you hardly have anything strapped onto your hand. I’ll have one of these along with some other boards at the Thalia Surf/ Insight demo day this friday May 8th.
