Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Main differences between Nano 135, 155 and 155D?
The 135 is the most compact and maneuverable size, ideal for lightweight or experienced riders looking for an easy-to-ride yet lively freeride board. The 155 offers more volume and stability for those who want to get planing right away with great comfort. The 155D adds a retractable daggerboard, which greatly facilitates upwind riding and control in light or gusty conditions, perfect for schools, absolute beginners, and inland spots.
What level of rider is the Exocet Nano V3 AST designed for?
The Nano V3 AST is designed for beginners and intermediate riders who want a board they can use to learn the basics, get planing, and progress to their first jibes safely. It's very forgiving, yet remains responsive and fun even as the skill level increases.
When does it make sense to choose the 155D version with daggerboard?
The 155D is ideal if you often sail in light winds, inland waters, or gusty conditions where safe upwind sailing is essential. The daggerboard offers greater lateral support, helps you ride upwind even at low speeds, and makes the board perfect for schools, rentals, and first outings.
How does the Nano V3 behave when gliding and jibing?
Thanks to its fairly straight outline and wide tail, the Nano gets planing early and maintains speed even with relatively small sails for its volume. The thin rails and narrower nose make the turn progressive, helping you complete the first jibes with control without losing stability.
Is this a good table for school, family, or shared use?
Yes, the larger-volume versions, especially the 155D, are very suitable for shared use: they offer plenty of stability at the start and a wide range of sail options. The AST construction guarantees resistance to impacts and intensive use, while the daggerboard helps maintain control even for novice riders.
What type of fin and footstrap are included?
The Nano V3 AST comes with a Power Box freeride fin (on the 155, a Freeride 50 fin), designed for easy planing, control, and efficient upwind sailing. The neoprene footstraps are soft and adjustable, with multiple positions to adapt to both more inboard and stable setups and more outboard and sporty setups.
What advantages does the AST (Advanced Sandwich Technology) construction offer?
The AST construction uses a monolithic fiberglass frame with edge reinforcements, combining strength and durability. This creates a board that is resistant to impacts and heavy use, while maintaining an excellent quality/performance ratio for freeriding.
