Roger Hinds Nomad - Shortboard Surfboard

The Roger Hinds Nomad is a surfboard designed to deliver the performance of a shortboard while being much more accessible and forgiving. With an ingenious shape, it allows for catching more waves, generating speed naturally, and executing maneuvers smoothly, regardless of your skill level.

Designed by Californian shaper Roger Hinds, the Nomad combines a high-performance shortboard rocker with a larger surface area and a refined foil. The result: a lively, fast, and responsive board that makes take-offs easier while maintaining the sporty behavior of a true shortboard.

Its true strength lies in its configuration versatility. Thanks to its 5 fin setup, the Nomad can be surfed as a Thruster, Twin Fin, or Quad, allowing you to adapt its behavior to your surfing style and the day's conditions.
