Abstract: A handboard for body surfing waves is described. The handboard has an adjustable strap that can be tightened or loosened depending on the size of the user's hand and the anticipated turbulence that the user expects to find in the surf. The strap is screwed into mated holes in the deck of the handboard, and there are several sets of screws so that a user can adjust the position of the strap on the handboard, thereby allowing a user to move the strap up or down the handboard depending on how he/she wants to trim the handboard. The handboard has a leash plug so that a user can be attached to the handboard, and an attachment site to which cameras and other accessories can be attached.
