AK Foilboard Nomad LS 2026

FAQ

Who is the AK Foilboard Nomad LS 2026 suitable for?

The Nomad LS is designed as a crossover board and is aimed at wing foilers who want to get on the foil even in light wind, as well as downwind and surf SUP foilers. The parallel outline, the volume distributed for flight, and the forward foil position ensure intuitive stability and effortless gliding phases.

In what sizes is the Nomad LS available?

The AK Foilboard Nomad LS 2026 is available in three volumes: 98 liters (7'0" x 18"), 114 liters (7'6" x 19"), and 126 liters (8'0" x 20"). This covers a wide range of riders – from lighter riders in light wind to heavier pilots who seek maximum stability when wing foiling, downwinding, or SUP foiling.

What does the LS shape (Light Speed) mean?

The LS shape stands for a width that is even further reduced compared to the original Nomad Carbon Plus. The narrower outline in combination with the pointed pin tail and the narrow nose ensures endless gliding ability and ultra-fast take-offs – ideal for getting on the foil even in minimal wind.

How is the construction of the Nomad LS designed?

The board uses the Carbon Plus construction: an ultra-light full carbon sandwich on the deck and bottom, a PVC sandwich layer, and a light core. Biaxial carbon was tuned to the best ratio of responsiveness, stability, and weight reduction – the result is a very light and at the same time durable foilboard.

How light is the AK Nomad LS?

Depending on the volume, the Nomad LS weighs between around 5.4 kg (98L) and 6.6 kg (126L). The low weight makes the water start easier, makes it easier to carry, and makes the board responsive when foiling.

Can the Nomad LS also be used for downwind SUP foiling?

Yes, the Nomad LS is explicitly designed as a downwind and surf SUP foilboard. The wide, evenly distributed volume distribution, the displacement-optimized nose area, and the flat tail area ensure good gliding and take-off properties when paddling into the wave.

Does the Nomad LS have foot straps or carrying handles?

The Nomad Carbon Plus is deliberately designed without strap-ins and without a carrying handle. This keeps the deck clean and the weight minimal – fitting the light wind and downwind usage profile of the board.

How does the Nomad LS differ from the classic Nomad?

The LS (Light Speed) is the narrower, even more glide-friendly version of the Nomad series. The reduced width and the optimized rocker line enable earlier take-offs and higher top speed on the foil, without losing too much stability.
