Carefree Wave-Catching Boards

The Dick Pearce & Friends Bellyboards are Handmade in the UK

The Dick Pearce & Friends Bellyboards are a more relaxed aquatic sport accessory for those who are looking to enjoy time in the water performing less sophisticated tricks or maneuvers. Perfect for professionals and amateurs alike, the boards are designed for use on waves when they aren't big enough to surf on and will allow for a different kind of surfing. The boards are crafted by hand in the UK using sustainably sourced birch plywood and feature a distinct nose bend to accommodate the best rise possible.

The Dick Pearce & Friends Bellyboards are suited for users across a wide age range and could provide eager surfers with a wya to practice in the water before graduating to larger gear.
