DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Feel and Feedback
The Baler steers like a responsive fish: you'll feel the board quickly position itself in the wave, and the twin fins provide a lively yet stable ride. The channels deliver strong traction on the water, resulting in energetic acceleration when you speed up. In practice, you can engage tight carves while maintaining good visibility when approaching the lip. It's a board that exudes classic surf but remains high-performance on softer waves.
Choosing Your Size
The available version is 6'4-inch with 45.3L: a good volume/surface compromise for a light to medium rider seeking handling and hold. If you weigh around 70-85kg, this size maintains lift for paddling without sacrificing agility. For lighter riders, the volume facilitates take-offs; for heavier riders, it will require a more committed paddling technique or looking at larger sizes if available.
Construction and materials
The board incorporates Nomads Natural Flex technology: 100% recyclable EPS foam, 40% biomass-derived resin, and natural flax & basalt reinforcement. The stringer-less design and GOLD ECOBOARD label reflect a durability-oriented approach. These choices result in the board's controlled flexibility, which returns energy without becoming soft. It also features an FCS2 fin box compatible with standard twin fin sets.
On-water behaviour
The Baler accelerates hard out of turns, and its channels play a big part in that. With twin fins, you get more mobility and responsiveness in the hollow of the wave, without losing control when the wave is softer. It's easy to paddle for take-offs, but you'll need an active stance to really get the most out of its re-acceleration. This board communicates everything. You'll feel it all, from the rails to the natural flex.
Who it's for / level
We recommend the Baler to intermediate riders who want to rediscover a retro feel without losing liveliness. If you've mastered the basics of take-off and enjoy engaging in carves, this fish will quickly bring you pleasure. Complete beginners might find the board demanding in terms of positioning; for them, a more voluminous and stable shape will be more suitable.
Buying advice
Check the overall condition of the hull shape and rails (micro-impacts, repairs), as well as the FCS2 fin box hatch. The board is sold bare: plan for a set of FCS2 compatible twin fins and a suitable leash. If you want to maintain the responsible approach, keep an eye on the integrity of the flax & basalt reinforcements during any repairs. Don't hesitate to ask for detailed photos if you are not on site.
