DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Shape and Ride Feel
The squash tail combined with a medium rocker gives the board quick acceleration without making it feel stiff. When loaded, you feel a clear response, useful for carving and accelerating through sections. The Natural Flex structure makes transitions more harmonious: when you shift your weight, the board responds with liveliness.
Natural Flex Technology
Nomads Natural Flex technology combines 100% recyclable EPS foam with natural flax/basalt fiber reinforcement. The resulting behavior is a balance between stiffness and flexibility. This provides responsiveness underfoot without feeling brittle. You feel the flex straighten during acceleration, which helps maintain speed in turns.
Materials and Eco-design
The construction uses recyclable EPS foam and 40% bio-sourced resin, reducing the carbon impact of manufacturing. Flax/basalt reinforcements limit the use of heavy synthetic fibers while maintaining strength. If you want a more responsible material choice without losing performance, the NOMADS EVO is the way to go.
On-water behaviour
The board accelerates easily and maintains momentum in hollow sections, while remaining maneuverable in tight turns. The medium rocker limits nose dives when the swell thickens and helps get through whitewater. In thruster setup, the board provides stable central support for engaging incisive bottom turns.
Fins and Compatibility
The NOMADS EVO comes without fins and uses a Thruster FCS2 setup, compatible with FCS1. We recommend a thruster fin box to take advantage of the predictable turning behavior: fin adjustment will directly influence rail hold and exit speed from turns.
Choosing your size
Volumes range from 21.5 L (5'4") to 38.20 L (6'4"). If you prioritize handling and are lighter, opt for the smaller sizes; if you are looking for more lift or have more experience in big waves, the higher range provides stability. We can help you refine your choice based on your body size and level.
