The AK Nomad foilboard is an intuitive and stable lightwind and downwind crossover board with effortless gliding capabilities. Perfect for catching long drawn out waves, downwinding, or getting up on the foil in the lightest wind with your wing.
With its optimized length and width, the Nomad features a parallel outline, volume distributed for flight, and a forward foil position that will allow you to keep the same stance as you paddle for take-off, and get up on the foil.
M6 self-tapping screws, 22–28mm long, depending on the thickness of your straps.
The forward foil position creates a perfect balance when on foil, ensuring that the relatively long length is balanced front to back. This allows easy pumping, stability under foot, and maximum maneuverability.
The pin tail creates an extremely clean release and works in conjunction with the narrow overall width and narrow nose for infinite glide.
Faster to paddle, easier to push the nose into waves, and less chance of catching the nose through turns. The widest part of the outline is quite far forward for easy paddling, while the curve in the outline keeps the flow for mid-turn touch downs.
The concave deck makes it feel much more stable and comfortable when paddling. This allows you to push your chest forward to generate speed when paddling into the waves, while keeping the board stable. It also makes you feel more connected to the foil with the advantage of the extra volume on the rails for stability.
The bottom shape features a displacement optimized nose area for low speed glide, transitioning into a planing hull tail area with hard edges for smooth touch downs and immediate release. The intermediate rocker has been refined to enable immediate glide and efficient low speed take offs.
