workshop7 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Price drop. I bought this during the summer of 2016 from the Donek summer sale. It was not a demo or a proto. It was a new stock custom Nomad. I wanted it because I planned to be in CO for two weeks this season. I did ride it in Steamboat for 10 days in mostly powder conditions. There were a few blue bird groomer days in there as well. I love the board. However, I don't see myself using it a lot living in NH. I also have my eye on something else for next season. It is in near perfect condition. The only flaw is a tiny nick in the top sheet right on the edge of the nose (see pic). I paid $800 for it new. I am looking to get $400. Buyer pays shipping.

Dan Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hey, I know that Donek recommends riding Nomads pretty short, at least by Bomber standards, which makes me think I'd be undersized for this. Do you have an idea of the recommended height / weight for this board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Dan, I sent an email to Sean asking about weight recommendations. I will let you know when he gets back to me. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 The weight range for this board is 180lbs to 240lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Thanks Workshop7! I am under the minimum size for this ride, so I have to decline :-) Otherwise I would be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Anyone ridden one of these on plates? Be interested to know how it performs on hardpack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've been on it in softies and hardboots. It carves extremely well. I know that Jim from Bomber rides his Nomad in hardboots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 thanks. How would you rate it in comparison to your Flux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 The Flux is a metal board and the Nomad is glass. The difference between the two is similar to the difference between two hardboot, carve specific boards, one metal and the other glass. There are many differences. Most of them are subtle though, except for two. The first is how they ride in powder. With the big binding setback, the Nomad is better in powder. The other big difference between the two is their noses. The Nomad has much more of the board in front of you. It is very wide and has a lot of rocker. Both of these attributes help with its amazing float in freshies. I had no problem getting very aggressive on corduroy with the Nomad. The board holds an edge very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks, gives me plenty to think about. Still my be interested (I had been chasing a Flux but the specs of your Nomad are right in my range). Let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Very\tempted, but have decided to hold out & see if I can find a Flux for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
