DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
On the water, the first thing you'll feel is the stability. The well-distributed volume and medium rocker create a stable platform for paddling and taking off. Once you're on the wave, the double concave channels the flow, smoothing out chop and maintaining speed, which gives you plenty of time to set up your maneuvers. The nose concave helps with steering 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 if you want more responsiveness and a slightly more agile board; go for the 9'0 if you prioritize stability and longer nose rides. The listed volumes help you match the board to your build, but also consider your skill level and comfort while paddling.
Construction and materials
Nomads uses a 100% recyclable EPS foam core, combined with 40% bio-sourced resin and a fiberglass finish. This mix reduces the environmental impact while ensuring a lightweight and durable board. Weighing in at around 7 kg, it's easy to handle on the sand and carry out to the peak.
Surf Performance
The round pin tail offers a smooth, predictable hold through turns while still having enough release to pivot when you want. Thanks to its medium rocker, the board maintains speed through flat sections and carves smoothly. The double concave helps you accelerate on the take-off and holds your line during nose rides.
Who it's for / level
The construction and shape make this board accessible to a wide range of riders. Intermediates will find a great balance between stability and handling, while advanced riders will appreciate its smooth flow and classic longboard feel. Its forgiving nature is perfect for anyone looking to improve their nose riding and cruising.
Buying advice
Choose fins to match your riding style: a larger fin for more stability and hold, or a smaller one for more pivot and responsiveness. The board is sold without fins or a leash, so be sure to add those to your cart. If you're between sizes, go for the larger one for easier paddling and better nose riding performance.

FAQ - NOMADS LONGBOARD BUSUANGA
This board is perfect for surfers who want stability and smooth flow in small to medium waves, especially if you're looking to improve your nose riding.
Its main advantages are excellent stability for paddling and take-offs, smooth handling from its round pin tail, and an eco-friendly construction using recyclable EPS foam and bio-sourced resin.
The NOMADS LONGBOARD BUSUANGA comes in two sizes: 8'8 (57.9L) and 9'0 (62.4L). Go for the 9'0 for more stability, or pick the 8'8 for greater agility.
The board is sold board-only and is compatible with standard fin systems. You'll need to grab a fin set that matches your style (think stability vs. responsiveness) and a solid leash.
Rinse your board with fresh water after every session. Avoid leaving it in direct sun for long periods and repair any dings promptly. Store it in the shade and always use a boardbag for transport.
