A surf-inspired elliptical outline. A radically different way of riding. Tight turns. Clean wave riding. Serious boosting. Developed by Nomad since 2002 for riders who want their twin-tip to do far more than go backwards and forwards.
Back in 2002, most twin-tips followed the same basic recipe: straight rails, rectangular outlines and relatively square tips. We wanted something different.
The idea was simple — what if a twin-tip could turn more like a surfboard? The answer was the elliptical outline.
Inspired by surfboard shaping, the Nomad Wave Twin-Tip was developed around a smooth, continuous outline that completely changes the way the board moves through the water.
Instead of fighting the water with square corners, the elliptical shape flows through it — and you feel the difference immediately.
The elliptical outline allows you to lean harder into a turn and dramatically reduce your turning radius — without constantly worrying about catching a tip. The result is a huge margin of error.
Push deeper into a turn without the fear of catching a rail. The elliptical shape simply keeps flowing.
Dramatically reduce your turning radius and change direction faster than a conventional twin-tip allows.
Instead of thinking about where the tips are, you can concentrate on the kite, the wave and the next turn.
For wave riding, that freedom is addictive.
Getting through waves on a conventional twin-tip can sometimes feel like a negotiation with the board. The Wave Twin-Tip takes a different approach.
The elliptical outline allows the tips to stay high and cut cleanly through chop, while the rear of the board releases efficiently from the water. There is no unnecessary square tip trying to catch the water at the front.
The tips stay high and cut cleanly through chop instead of catching and dragging.
The board releases efficiently from the water, keeping things clean when the shorebreak isn't.
No unnecessary square tip trying to catch the water at the front — the board just gets on with it.
The result is a board that feels remarkably clean and predictable when conditions become difficult.
You don't have to sacrifice boosting. Underneath the surf-inspired outline is a serious high-performance twin-tip platform, designed to deliver the grip, control and pop you expect when it's time to leave the water.
The Wave Twin-Tip can carve like a surfboard — then load up and boost like a high-performance twin-tip. In fact, its combination of grip, efficiency and controlled flex makes it a remarkably capable jumping machine.
Turn hard. Load hard. Go big.
The Wave Twin-Tip is available in three Nomad construction systems — C, CC and CCS. The shape, outline and riding concept stay exactly the same across all three; only the materials, weight and finish change. Sizes 136–150cm.
A lightweight carbon build sharing the same construction philosophy as the CC and CCS, brought to a more accessible price point — the complete Wave Twin-Tip experience.
The C-Wave carries the same elliptical outline and riding concept as the CC-Wave and CCS-Wave, built using an efficient carbon layup that keeps the price accessible without compromising the ride.
Topside finishing comes with a standard graphic set included in the price, with custom topside graphics available on request. The underside carries a fixed Nomad logo in dark grey.
Crafted entirely from full carbon fibre to deliver high-performance wave riding — performance comparable to the CCS-Wave, at a more accessible price point.
The CC-Wave is the second model in the Wave Twin-Tip lineup, built entirely from full carbon fibre for a direct, responsive connection between rider and board.
An excellent choice for kiteboarders seeking top-tier quality and performance without the premium cost of the CCS — the same shape, the same concept, a more accessible construction.
Our uncompromising flagship construction — full carbon lamination combined with a full Kevlar layer, for exceptional durability with a chassis weight of around 1.7kg on a 142.
The CCS Super Leggera is the most advanced Wave Twin-Tip construction, combining a full carbon lamination with a full Kevlar layer for exceptional durability and resilience through daily, long-term use.
Despite its robust build, it remains remarkably light — around 1.7kg for the 142 — thanks to the Nomad flex system, closely tied to the shape and carbon layup, delivering a super smooth ride combined with exceptional grip and stability.

Every Wave Twin-Tip ships complete with RS-2 pads & straps, G10 fins and an ABS grab handle. Carbon fins and a carbon grab handle are available as optional upgrades.
Every Nomad Ships Complete
Nothing generic, nothing bolted on as an afterthought. Every Nomad Kiteboard ships with these three components as standard.
A Nomad kiteboard is designed to perform. But it should also look like it belongs to you. Every Nomad comes with a carefully developed standard graphic set, created specifically for that model. Across the range, you'll find three different graphic designs, with the level of detail increasing through the model range. But that's only the starting point.
Like the board itself, your graphics can be personalised.
Love the design but want different colours? No problem.
Want to move elements around or combine ideas from another Nomad graphic? Absolutely.
Have your own colour combination or a completely different idea in mind? Let's create it.
You can work directly with me to develop something that is uniquely yours. Simply tell me what you're imagining — colours, details, ideas or even a rough sketch — and I'll create a visual render of your kiteboard so you can see how it will look before we build it.
Choose the original graphic supplied with your board.
Keep the design and change the colours, positioning or selected elements.
Start with an idea and work with us to create something completely individual.
Some more extensive graphic modifications may involve an additional charge, but we'll always discuss this with you before anything is produced.
Performance is engineered into every Nomad — the shape, the flex, the layup. The graphics are where you get to add a little of yourself.
Every finish is still applied by hand, colour by colour, directly onto the board you'll actually ride — not a printed wrap, not a sticker. It's a small part of the build, but it's usually the first thing anyone notices.
