By: Mitchell Houska Staff Writer Bodysurfing just got way cooler. If you haven’t heard of handplaning or handboarding, you’re missing out on one of the fastest growing new hobbies. A handplane or handboard, is an

aerodynamically designed paddle-shaped board that resembles a miniature skimboard or surfboard, without fins. Handplanes increase your speed when bodysurfing and decrease drag, making for a much more exhilarating experience. The Carolina Beach See Handplane, page 17B
