NOMAD FSD TEAM INITIATIVE

Nomad Bodyboards is proud to announce the formation of its new team initiative, the Nomad F.S.D. (Free Surf Division).

Over the past 8 years Nomad has prided itself on working with some of Australia’s brightest talent. 2008’s line up is no different.

Nomad F.S.D. members include some of the worlds most respected riders:
Chris James – Chris embodies the nomad lifestyle, with the determination and vision to continually search for the uncrowded dredging wave on the horizon.
Matt Lackey – Lackey needs no introduction. Arguably the worlds most photographed bodyboarder and the undisputed face of modern day DK in Australia.

Glen Thurston – Thurston, with the enthusiasm of a hardcore grom trapped inside a Pro riders body, is making a name for himself for his technical free-surfing.

All riders are regarded as pushing the boundaries of bodyboarding in their own style.

The Nomad F.S.D. has been established to allow our collective of riders an opportunity to not only provide their expertise on product design and development, but to also provide a program to launch projects of their own creation. The first project which is already available is a film co-produced, shot and edited in association with film director Bryce Thurston, titled “ROAM”. The follow up movie "ROAM II" which is looking to be bigger and better than the first will be out at the end of 2008 and will be the most anticipated film for 2008-09.

The Nomad F.S.D. “ROAM” and "ROAM II" film projects have already captured sessions in perfect South Coast solitude, and also an epic session filmed by helicopter at an undisclosed wave making the projects the most sort after bodyboard films ever produced.

Chris James said of the project, “No other bodyboard manufacturer has ever launched a project like this. The Nomad guys are bodyboarders and they have a strong initiative and firm vision of how they want bodyboarding to be portrayed. With the team they have put together and having an amazing filmmaker like Bryce on board you’re going to see bodyboarding at its most amazing”.
