MAKING WAVES

If a surfboard’s too cumbersome to take on your next beach holiday, pack a handplane in your hand luggage instead. Sydney company WAW (Wave After Wave) makes handcrafted bodysurfing handplanes from reclaimed and sustainable timbers. “For each handplane sold, we also plant a tree,” says founder and environmentally conscious carpenter Rikki Gilbey. “It’s another great reason to pack light.” $149.95 each. wawhandplanes.com.au
