This fish-shaped handplane is part of our Ventana Handplane Artist Project collection. It's a performance, bodysurfing art-piece that features an indigo-dyed cloth created using the Shibori technique. It was created by the multi-talented, Carrie Jones of Hold Fast Studio School.

Hold Fast Studio School in Santa Cruz, California has an amazing line-up artists and artisans holding small-group workshops for teens and adults. Learn new skills and have some fun!

The wood in this handplane is from packing material that come to us by way of Carrie's husband, Trevor Jones, of SpaceCamp Studio. We glassed it with Entropy Resins, a bio-based epoxy, and Aerialite Surf Glass. The hand strap is nylon and adjustable. It is covered with neoprene from a Buell Wetsuit, and the wood is shaped with our unique, ergonomic hand fit. The hardware is solid brass. As with all Ventana handplanes, this one floats so you can easily pass it between friends in the waves.

It comes with a free cinch sack made by Sagebrush Boardbags from coffee bags and remnant fabrics.

You only need a single handplane on your leading arm for a great ride every time! This is a terrific conversation piece in your home and will slice you across the face of any sized surf.

Shaped, finished, and designed in Santa Cruz, California by master artisan, Martijn Stiphout
