Catch more waves and have mountains of fun, while doing the planet a huge favour — the #WastetoWaves Bodysurfing Handplane is a truly unique surf craft. A completely different approach to riding waves for all ages and abilities, as much fun in mushy shorebreak as it is in high performance waves.

#WastetoWaves is a circular design collaboration between foam. and OTHERS, intercepting HDPE waste to create a highly individual and absurdly fun waveriding vehicle. Each one is hand-made in Ireland, on the edge of Clew Bay in Co.Mayo. After a two year hiatus we have built a 2026 batch, and that’s what this product page is all about.

THE PROCESS
The making of each handplane helps 10 HDPE milk bottles find a new purpose. A labour of love; every bottle used in foam is intercepted, cleaned, melted, molded and hand finished to create a carefully designed piece of surf craft. This entire process happens in our workshop on the west coast of Ireland.

THE DESIGN & RIDE
Bodysurfing is truly accessible, opening up surf for any age or level. The #wastetowaves handplane is stable with loads of lift. This comes from a deep single concave running to flat at the rear, with a wide point biased towards the front of the outline. It’s a real all-rounder.

UNIQUE
Each plane is completely unique and completely hand made, each coming with their own quirks and individualities. The patterns and colours on the deck and underside are a result of this process; combining different colours every time one is melted and moulded. The colour combination you receive will be completely random, making each one entirely individual.
