Who is Vincent Hayes?

Vincent Hayes is a man dedicated to Bodysurfing, Handboard Surfing and helping others enjoy being in the surf. He uses handboard surfing to teach people of all ages and abilities confidence in the water, and most importantly, how to enjoy the surf safely.

He has co-developed and now markets a product known as the "Hayes Handboard", a device that allows bodysurfers more control in the water and better rides. The bodysurfer in the photo above is using the Hayes Handboard to lift his upper body out of the water. The handboard is available all over the world via this website.

If you're interested in learning more about the handboard or ordering one direct from us, check out our handboard page.
