DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
On the water, you'll immediately notice the exceptional stability. The well-distributed volume and medium rocker provide reassuring support for paddling and take-off. Once you're locked into a wave, the double concave guides the board, smoothing out small irregularities and maintaining a glide speed that gives you ample time to set up your maneuvers. The nose concave assists with direction without making the tail feel too locked in.
Sizes and choice
The NOMADS LONGBOARD BUSUANGA is available in 8'8 (57.9L) and 9'0 (62.4L). Choose the 8'8 for more responsiveness and a slightly more agile board, or opt for the 9'0 if you prioritize stability and extended nose riding phases. The listed volumes help you select the right board for your body size; consider your skill level and paddling comfort.
Construction and materials
Nomads utilizes 100% recyclable EPS foam combined with 40% bio-sourced resin and a fiberglass finish. This blend reduces environmental impact while maintaining a lightweight and durable construction. With a weight of around 7 kg, the board is easy to handle on the sand and effortless to carry to the peak.
Surf Performance
The round pin tail provides progressive support through turns while maintaining enough release for pivoting when you want. With a medium rocker, the board holds its speed through flat sections and carves smoothly into turns. The double concave helps accelerate on take-off and maintains trajectory during nose rides.
Who it's for / level
The construction and shape make this board accessible to a wide range of riders. Intermediate riders will find an excellent balance of stability and handling, while advanced riders will appreciate the tail's precision and the nose concave's responsiveness for tricks. The board's forgiving nature is ideal for progressing in nose riding and cruising.
Buying advice
Plan for fins that match your style: wider fins for increased stability, or a narrower set for more responsiveness. The board is sold bare, without fins or leash; remember to complete your setup with plugs and a compatible fin set. If you're debating between sizes, choose the larger one for easier paddling and nose riding.
