Shortboard Capana

5 customer reviews

From 650,00 

A versatile shortboard for all types of conditions. Fast and efficient in small waves thanks to its fairly flat rocker, but snappy in bigger swells with its squash tail, everything you need to get the most out of it.

Thruster Fins – FCS2 housing – compatible with our TwoTab fins (FCS1)

    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

    A shortboard designed for versatility. Whether in light summer conditions or in more muscular winter conditions, this board will make the most of both. An outline generous enough to give a comfortable volume will also make it an accessible shortboard for the occasional rider who has already mastered small boards.

    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

      La Capana va bien! Le ratio volume/taille est top pour ne pas trop galérer le démarrage.

      Propriétaire d’une planche Capana 5’8 depuis 2019 c’est ma planche passe partout. Elle m’a accompagné sur tous mes surftrips pour sa polyvalence.(Sri lanka, Maroc, Norvège, Senegal , Canaries..). Elle me permet de m’éclater dans toutes les conditions grâce a son volume tout en conservant de la manœuvrabilité. Le shape est interessant avec un maitre bau placer assez haut qui permet de partir facilement. Sans doute une bonne première planche pour un intermédiaire qui voudrait s’initier sur des planches plus courte.

      Après 2 saisons à surfer ce shortboard époxy sur les beachbreak girondins et quelques vagues des Caraïbes et du Pacifique, voici un retour sur la Nomads Capana !

      Cette planche époxy est la planche passe partout de mon quiver. Avec un volume intéressant sous le pied avant, vous aurez une bonne flottabilité et une rame efficace pour l’entrée en vague. Ce volume ne gène pas dans les trajectoires, au contraire je trouve qu’il aide à passer les sections plates et vous donne de l’appui dans les carves même avec peu de vitesse. Le montage Thruster sur ce swallow tail donne une planche assez rapide et nerveuse pour placer des manœuvres radicales. Elle reste néanmoins très accessibles en pardonnant les fautes d’appuis et de rails.

      J’ai adoré surfer cette planche dans des vagues de 50cm à 1m50/2m sans vent. Le glassage est solide et la planche est bien rigide sous les pieds avec le renfort central en carbone.

      Une planche faites sur mesure directement avec l’équipe Nomads au top , à l’écoute concernant mes envies.
      Ont as réalisé une super boards , le shaper fait du super boulot !!!!
      Concernant la partie technique la planche est ouf , l’expoxy permet d’avoir encore plus de flottaison pour un max de confort en gardant l’aspect technique , ce qui permet d’aller chercher la performance même dans des conditions difficiles.

      J’ai repris le surf en 2019 avec un mini malibu histoire de me remettre dans le bain, 1 an après j’ai acheté une nomads capana en 6.3 pour 37.10L, ce qui m’allait super bien car pour les creuses et prendre des sensations c’était l’idéal, j’ai adoré cette planche, c’est une bonne variante apres le mini malibu pour les debutant pour passer t’es premiers rollers ! Super agréable, les matériaux sont eco en plus de cela, je recommande !
