New Nomad Skateboards Double Impact decks

From Nomad Skateboards we are pleased to announce the launch of our new skateboards with Double Impact technology, the same used in some models manufactured for brands made in DSM, especially the Dwindle group.

It is a Limited Edition of 100 decks in measures 8.0 “, 8.09” and 8.25 “, and is already available both in catalog and on our website nomadskateboards.com.

This technology consists of reinforcing the 8 plies of Canadian maple wood with two laminated discs of carbon fiber that are strategically placed in the areas of highest stress of the deck, corresponding to the areas on the trucks.

By means of this construction a harder and more resistant deck is obtained, with which in addition to considerably increasing the pop of the same one, and the time of duration of this as well.
Production by DSM Manufacturing.

DSM Manufacturing is the company that makes all the brands marketed by Dwindle Distribution.

The Double Impact series began to be produced in 2010, and what was initially experimental, in the end it has become a very limited production only for subsidiary or trusted brands, through DSM Manufacturing, which since last year It is also the manufacturer of all Nomad Skateboards decks.

The construction in Epoxy Resin 6, and the carbon discs, allow to offer a 45 days guarantee against breakage.

DSM imports its own wood, which is made up of logs from the region of the great lakes of North America; With this, we have complete control of the product that the customer enjoys, ensuring quality, consistency and durability according to the demands we have in our company.

DSM developed its own epoxy resin system focused directly for the manufacture of skateboards. Which made them the only decks currently on the market made with this epoxy.

Epoxy is an incredibly aggressive bonding agent that is completely different from the standard, water-based glues.

We remind you that if you register in our database and you are part of the Nomad family we will send you an exclusive discount of 15% to acquire any of these skateboard decks that are currently available in our stock.

BRUNO ROULAND NOMAD GUEST BOARD

He started riding in 1977, at that time the Skateboard is not popular and Europe has only a handful of practitioners.

The community has few people, but the skaters are very well connected and well connected.
All were looking for references and videos in the United States … to live the American dream.

In 1988 Death Box (currently Flip) offers him a pro model and Bruno becomes one of the first Europeans to see his name under a board.

28 years later, he still skates with the same energy and commitment.

We are very proud to pay tribute to this living legend, and more … to count it within #thenomadfamily

Keep tearing My Grand!

Respect Mr. Rouland
