Description
Our impact
Classic construction using more durable materials than most similar buildings:
- 100% recycled and recyclable polystyrene foam loaf (EPS)
- 40% biobased epoxy resin
- Fiberglass
The benefits:
Proven construction for lightweight, technical boards with a strength advantage 3 times greater than polyester resin and polyurethane foam boards.
Elongation at break of epoxy resins 5 to 6% vs. only 2% for polyester resins.
For this flax construction, we replace a layer of fiberglass with flax fiber grown in Europe. The resin is then applied under vacuum, reducing the quantity used.
- 100% recycled and recyclable polystyrene foam loaf (EPS)
- 40% biobased epoxy resin
- Linen fiber and fiberglass
The benefits:
Linen fiber is lighter than fiberglass and better at absorbing vibrations.
Its environmental impact is lower than that of fiberglass.
Revolutionary composite sandwich technology employing a blend of cork granules and short flax fibers.
A gliding sensation comparable to polyester resin boards without the drawbacks.
This blend provides very high chop-absorbing properties and far superior strength, with an elongation at break of 14% compared with 2% for polyester resin planks.
- 100% recycled and recyclable polystyrene foam loaf (EPS)
- 40% biobased epoxy resin
- Cork & linen composite
The benefits:
A very strong and much more durable board, with 14% elongation at break versus 2% for polyester boards, as well as much higher shock absorption than a conventionally constructed EPS/epoxy board.
This technology enables Epoxy-type repairs to be carried out without any problems.
We encourage our customers to make their surfboards last as long as possible and to rethink the way they consume. If your board is damaged, you can buy a repair kit or take it to one of our partner shapers.
Because we need to anticipate the end-of-life of our products, at Nomads we offer to collect all your end-of-life boards in order to recycle them for EPS foam boards, or value them for PU boards, in exchange for a €70 voucher on our range of boards.
We want to help surfers reduce their environmental footprint. Our boards are manufactured in Portugal for stock boards and in France for custom boards. We strive to offer the best alternative on the market.
This foam board is100% recyclable, and we will take back your board at the end of its life in exchange for a voucher.
In action
Description
With its flat rocker and generous volume, this fish is sure to catch every wave. With quad-mounted fins, speed is lightning-quick, allowing you to pass through mole sections or catch waves without a care in the world. Ultra-maneuverable, it is very popular with seasoned surfers in sizes from 5’8 to 5’10. But it also appeals to many with its more generous 6’0 to 6’4 ribs for optimum progression.
PLanche available for testing.
The ECOBOARD label
Sustainable Surf’s ECOBOARD project helps the surfing community build, buy and ride sustainable, high-performance boards. Much more than just the “ECOBOARD label” on the boards of the world’s best surf brands, the ECOBOARD project educates and engages surfers about the environmental impacts of their lifestyle through the prism of their surfboard.
An ECOBOARD label is a mark of sustainability and high performance. Boards with the ECOBOARDS label have the same technical performance as any modern watersports board, while having reduced environmental and toxic impacts – thanks to the use of more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.
When you see a board displaying the ECOBOARD Level One or Gold Level label, this means it has one or more of the following attributes:
a significantly reduced carbon footprint
renewable, recycled and/or recovered raw materials
uses materials and processes that reduce toxicity during manufacturing
reduces manufacturing waste
