Nomad FSD team rider Chris James recommitted to Nomad Bodyboards and Limited Edition Fins yesterday signing a new 2 year deal.

Chris James said of the deal “Nomad is making incredible progression in bodyboarding, in product development and also the creative collective of people that are involved with the team and special projects.

It is an amazing group to work with and I want to make sure I’m part of that. Projects like the new EFC core technology, film projects like the ROAM series, the FSD. That’s why I bodyboard. I just want to be part of it”.

Nomad owner Shane Britten was stoked to have CJ back on board.  “Griz is an integral part of our team, an amazing Bodyboarder, and is one of the keys to our development over the last couple of years. Having him recommit to the label today is fantastic. 

Anyone who has met Chris or has seen him surf will understand, and if you haven’t and still don’t have a full understanding of what the Nomad FSD is all about, the projects and advancements we have planned over the next 2 years will hopefully make you stand up and take notice”.

Speaking of the ROAM series, ROAM II has been delayed a week in shipping and will hit stores next week.

But to tide you over and keep the froth going we have just posted the brand new official trailer. Check it out here:
