Overview

WAW (wave after wave) Handplanes is a bodysurfing brand that is committed to giving back. Founded by Rikki Gilbey and based in Sydney, Australia we make our handplanes out of sustainable, recycled and reclaimed materials so that you can enjoy getting barrelled without leaving a trace. We also host Sydney based workshops, run by our founder and shaper Rikki. The company was born after one inspirational bodysurfing session in 2014 and is continuing to grow. We use sustainable and recycled timbers for our handplanes, as well as recycled wetsuits for our adjustable hand straps. To date we have recycled more than 300kg of wetsuits previously destined for landfill. To find out more about our materials and manufacture, visit our website.
