Too bad, because it is a beautiful little board. I especially like the fingerholes.

I dug the place where the fingers should go then stuck a piece of wood on the top because I guessed It would be difficult to hold the board firmly when being washed by a wave and hoping the fingers would be less of an obstacle to the water flow.

I know what you mean about the water going every where but under the hand board Theirry. I have a Hydro Bodysurfer hand board that also has a hole for your hand to grip, and the water comes out of the hole like a fountain and slows me down. I think straps are the best way so far to secure your hand to a hand board.

This is something I've been playing around with for a while.
I call it "The Pick" (guitar pick) It's 2ft by 15inches with a deep double concave. Riding it is somewhere between a handplane and a paipo. Its very fast, highly manoeuvrable, and ride super deep in the barrel! SOOOOO much fun!

Nice handboards, have you tried them yet?

Hey HIpaipo, I've been obsessively testing different outlines and different bottom contours for the last year or so. I reckon a rail-to-rail concave with a slight hull shape under the nose seems to work best. I've also tried straps and hole-grips, and I don't think there's a huge difference. I tested the strap model with the chinese character for "hand" (far right in top pic) this morning in 4-5ft hollow shore break, and I think I've hit on a good formula! It also has parabolic rails which work well on alaia's. Just to be sure I came home and made an exact replica, but with a hole-grip (see bottom pic). I'll post a ride report as soon as I can test both in the same conditions!
Cheers,
BJ

My own experiments with the short end of the stick are buried about five years deep in the archives. So I think it's worth a link back for the new readers here. My "cubit" boards are long enough for elbow leverage, and most of them don't have handles. They are meant to be ridden with 2 hands, like a bodyboard...one hand on the nose and the other hand on the rail.

Ahhhh! Cubit Boards, I like it! I had the idea when I cut an alaia down from 8ft to 6ft, and I had this cool nose piece left over. I put a slight double concave through it, and rolled the last 3 or 4 inches out to the rail. I've become hooked on riding it in hollow close-out beachbreaks. I use the technique of one hand flat on the board, like a handplane, and paddling with the other one to catch waves. Once i'm riding I use your style of inside forearm on the board, and other hand on the nose. Its like bodysurfing with a hand plane, except you can carve full cutbacks and bottom turns without losing any speed! In closed-out barrels you travel a long long way inside the tube before the inevitable hammering! Thanks for your post Poobah, now I know what to call the damn thing!
