AK Nomad V2 Carbon Plus Downwind Foilboard

AK Nomad V2 Carbon Plus Downwind Foilboard

Lightwind wingboard & downwind crossover foilboard.  Intuitive stability, control & manoeuvrability. Lightweight & durable Carbon construction. The all-new Nomad V2 Carbon Plus is an intuitive and stable lightwind and downwind crossover foilboard 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 optimised length and width, the Nomad V2 Carbon Plus 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.

CARBON PLUS CONSTRUCTION – Ultralight full Carbon Plus deck & bottom – PVC sandwich construction & Lightweight core – Heavy-duty foil connection. The Carbon Plus construction features a full carbon sandwich construction on both the top and the bottom of the board. This technology utilizes a lightweight glass layer around the lightweight core, fusing the high-density foam layer on the top and bottom of the board. This is then finished with a full carbon layer, top and bottom. AK use a biaxial carbon fibre layup which has been optimised to ensure the best combination of responsiveness, strength, and weight reduction.

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 manoeuvrability.

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 centre 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.

NOTE: The Nomad Carbon Plus does not have strap inserts or carry handles.
