Best Hybrid Wakeboard for Beginners
2024 Slingshot Nomad Wakeboard
Built to deliver a more user friendly experience for beginner and intermediate riders, as well as giving new flavour of wakeboarding to advanced riders - focused on simplicity, air and style.
The Nomad was released in 2015 and is the first board to cross the line of 150 centimetres. It's the GODFATHER of bigger boards and offers all the way up to 160cm. Advantages of bigger boards? Bigger pop, more stability, slower planing speeds and more controlled landings.
Thanks to the thinner wood-core constructions, Slingshot was able to produce a board of this size without a dramatic increase in swing weight. So whether you prefer to ride behind the boat or in the park, the Nomad is a whole new feel—an excellent choice to reinvigorate riders who claim to have "been there and done that". Indeed, one of the best wakeboards for beginners.
