Handmade Hand Planes

My friend and fellow waterman, Renick Woods, has spent the last few months shaping, sanding and painting these little things. Hand Planes they're called. Something to facilitate all this 'sliding sans surfboard' business. Rumor has it, hand planing(?) has become rather popular. An organic connection with the ocean I'm told. Something simple. Done a bit of bodysurfing myself. Never with anything attached to my appendages, though. Down to do it. And these damn things look delicious. Shawn from Stoke Harvester interviewed Renick regarding his recent work. You can read the Q&A here. Oh, and if you're interested in owning one of these bodysurfing hand board things, click here.
