https://www.holdfaststudioschool.com/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!

Hold Fast Studio SchoolThe 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

Why Print-on-Demand? An evolution of eco responsibility.

Ventana is deepening its commitment to sustainability by shifting to print-on-demand for many products. This change reduces overproduction and waste, while enabling more style and customization options. Though some suppliers may use less eco-friendly packaging, we are pushing our fulfillment partner to make changes in this area. Ventana remains transparent and dedicated to responsible sourcing, aiming to balance environmental impact with accessibility. Print-on-demand marks a new chapter in Ventana’s mission to innovate sustainably and deliver high-quality, planet-conscious products. Of course, we continue to use only reclaimed wood and bio-based resins in our handcrafted products - surfboards, bodysurfing handplanes, bookmarks, pens, and more!
