Connect with the Glide – AK Nomad Foilboard
The Nomad foilboard is a highly versatile mid-length all-rounder, known for excelling in light-wind winging conditions. It also crosses over as a downwind foilboard, thanks to its effortless gliding capabilities. This adaptability allows riders to enjoy a range of hydrofoiling activities, making the AK Nomad a standout choice for those seeking a multipurpose foilboard.
Now available in Active Carbon and the all-new Carbon Plus construction.
The Nomad concept was centered around building the ultimate lightwind wingboard, but versatile enough to use as a surf, paddle-up, and downwind SUP. We knew that if we could get a certain amount of glide speed, you would be able to pop up onto foil. We also wanted a board that was very comfortable off foil as we believed that anybody who was chasing light wind would most likely spend a fair amount of time off foil.
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.
We knew we could get even more glide from an even longer and narrower board, but our key point was making a wingboard with crossover capabilities. One of our design fundamentals is to “make everything as multifunction and versatile as possible, without undermining the core function”. So, we optimized the length so that once you were up on foil, the Nomad is still a very fun and playful board to pump around on.
