Specifications
From Wall to Waves, the Kuahiwi Handplane is a functional piece of surf culture.
• FORMED FOR FUNCTION: Designed to be swimmable and durable. The Kuahiwi is made of vacuum-formed bamboo and birch, featuring a single bottom concave from tip to toe. With a slim & sturdy edge, this handplane speeds you through critical sections. Rounded tails and sanded edges keep the form smooth to the touch.
• ACCESSORIES:
1. Velcro with neoprene wrap makes for a comfortable and adjustable strap -- making it easy to share, if you're willing to!
2. Optional: Patterned carrying bag, to keep your handplane safe and snug.
• TESTED: Our Kuahiwi model has been seeing waves in the Pacific since 2018. From the shores of Maui & O'ahu, to surf trips in New Zealand / Aotearoa, up and down the California coast, and beyond, it's meant for adventure. For the days close to home, keep one in the truck or stashed in the trunk with your favorite fins - for when the waves are all-time.
• Made in CA, USA
For bodysurfers of all levels - the Kuahiwi handplane is for the fun days and the serious ones!
Looking for a surf vibe instead of hopping in the water? The JOHI community also uses this natural and dyed wood handplane in wall decor. The velcro loops on the back of the handplane can be used to hang or hook it easily on the wall - in your office, living room, studio, boutique - what have you!
Dimensions: 7.75" W x 12" L x 0.25" D
