DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Shape and Ride Feel
The squash tail and medium rocker give the board quick acceleration without feeling harsh or overly stiff. When you put pressure on the rail, you get crisp feedback, perfect for setting up carves and driving through sections. The Natural Flex construction ensures smooth rail-to-rail transitions; shift your weight and the board comes alive, responding instantly.
Natural Flex Technology
Nomads Natural Flex technology combines 100% recyclable EPS foam with a natural flax/basalt fiber reinforcement. The result is a perfectly balanced flex pattern that gives you instant response underfoot without feeling harsh or chattery. You can feel the board load up and release out of your turns, generating speed and drive down the line.
Materials and Eco-Design
The construction uses recyclable EPS foam and a 40% bio-based resin, reducing the manufacturing's carbon footprint. The flax/basalt reinforcement reduces the need for heavy synthetic fibers without compromising on strength. If you're looking for a more sustainable board that doesn't sacrifice performance, the NOMADS EVO is an excellent choice.
On the Water
The board accelerates easily and carries its speed through hollow sections, yet stays nimble for tight turns in the pocket. The medium rocker helps prevent pearling when the swell gets steep and makes it easier to punch through whitewater. As a thruster, the board offers a solid, stable platform for laying into powerful, carving bottom turns.
Fins and Compatibility
The NOMADS EVO is sold without fins and features a Thruster setup with FCS2 boxes, which are also compatible with FCS1 fins. We recommend using a thruster fin set to get the most out of the board's predictable turning characteristics. Your choice of fins will directly affect its rail hold and speed out of turns.
Choosing Your Size
Lighter riders or those who prioritise manoeuvrability should opt for the smaller sizes. If you're looking for more float and stability, especially in bigger surf, the higher volume models are a great choice. Feel free to contact us for personalised advice based on your build and skill level.
