I bought a few planes for when the kids and I go on beach hikes, great deals, cheers.
(took checking in all day for the site to eventually let me in, hopefully cos he's getting a lot of traffic)

great you're enjoying, I mucked around with one on a camping trip once where there were more people than boards. Looking forward to some weird fun with portability factor - we're a 10km bike ride from the beach and love 3-day coast hikes.

Handplanes are the best. My local beachie is a bit fickle so handplane gives another option. Awesome for fitness and i find it gives the full range of motion when swimming which is good for the shoulders.
Mentioned it in another thread, but been having a blast making handplanes with the groms out of 12mm marine ply.

Hydro Ray Gill handplanes are unreal to use... no load while swimming super deep concave small and compact.

Have had a pod one for many years, first wave was a barrel, out of it, into another barrel, out of that too, into the closeout barrel. Really should use it more these days.

Which one should I get (out of the Ecto metal range), it all looks the same to me. V2 is I guess an upgrade on V1?

great sale atm, but the site is SO slow and often doesn't let you in...

(if you get to the homepage, great visuals, while you wait 2 mins for the page you click on to load)

^ hope the young fellers love 'em. having the three planes I bought (foam/wood/metal) from ecto has really changed things for me. makes a long coast walk or a half-hour beach visit suddenly have a wavey engagement aspect that feels lively and spontaneous

Purest fun.
First wave on it was a 2ft peeler that seemed to go for ever.

A Maccas Tray seems to be a Popular Hand Plane....Worldwide.

They're so versatile
Fella down my way runs Ecto Handplanes and he's having a warehouse clean out. Grab yourself a bargain.
Got myself a metal and a plastic plane, both ride unreal.
Selling quick...
