Description
The AK Nomad V2 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.
The new 65L and 85L added to the range provide greater choice in the mid-sizes due to their popularity as medium wind wingboards.
KEY FEATURES
- Lightwind wingboard & downwind crossover foilboard
- Intuitive stability, control & maneuverability
- Lightweight & durable Active Carbon construction
FORWARD FOIL POSITION
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.
CONCAVE DECK
The high volume oriented towards the nose area prevents the nose from bogging down as you drive through your front foot. The concave deck creates a stable platform by lowering the riders center of gravity.
PIN TAIL
The pin tail creates an extremely clean release and works in conjunction with the narrow overall width and narrow nose for infinite glide.
NARROW NOSE
The narrow nose slices through the water and works in conjunction with the narrow overall width and pin tail for infinite glide.
BOTTOM SHAPE
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.
GORE Auto Vent
GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane. This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise.
Active Carbon Construction
- Full biaxial carbon top deck
- Wood sandwich standing areas
- Heavy-duty foil connection
The Active Carbon construction creates an extremely strong and stiff standing area, covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core. The foil connection features a heavy duty high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider.
