When Ron Heavyside shaped his first Nomad surfboards in 1968, he wasn’t just building boards, he was laying the foundation for a legacy. More than five decades later, that same spirit lives on in the shaping bay where his son, Ryan Heavyside continues the craft by hand.

Every custom board is designed with the same dedication to quality, performance, and individuality that built Nomad’s reputation along Florida’s coast. From first waves to lifelong surfers, each board is shaped with care, backed by generations of experience, and built to keep the tradition moving forward.
