Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
What is the difference between the Nano V4 135 and 155?
The Nano V4 135 is designed for riders who are already planing and want to improve their maneuvers: it is slightly shorter (250 cm), narrower (78 cm) and lighter (9.7 kg). The Nano V4 155 has 20 liters more volume and a greater length (255 cm), offering a more stable platform and suitable for those still in the early stages of learning or heavier riders.
What is a daggerboard and why is it useful on the 155D?
The daggerboard (or retractable daggerboard) is a vertical keel that lowers from inside the board. It allows the board to sail efficiently upwind even with small sails or light winds, making it extremely versatile for lessons and light-wind days. When not needed, it retracts completely and the board behaves like a standard freeride board.
What is Advanced Sandwich Technology (AST)?
AST construction uses a sandwich of high-density composite materials surrounding a lightweight core. The result is a board that's stiffer, more impact-resistant, and lighter than standard constructions, with a more direct and responsive response to rider input.
Which sail should be paired with the Nano V4?
The Nano V4 135 and 155 are optimized for sails from 5.0 to 9.0 m² , covering a wide window of medium to strong winds. The Nano V4 155D , thanks to the daggerboard, goes down to 1.5 m² and can also be used in very light winds or as a school board with small training sails.
What type of fin box is it and can I fit aftermarket fins?
All three versions feature a Power Box , the most common standard in freeride and entry-level windsurfing. It's compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket fins on the market, so you have plenty of freedom to customize the board's performance.
Is the Nano V4 suitable for an adult starting from scratch?
Yes. The 155D version with daggerboard is the ideal choice for beginners: the generous volume (155 L) ensures buoyancy and stability, while the daggerboard makes it easier to sail upwind without having yet learned to use a sail. The 155 without daggerboard is ideal for those who have already had a few hours of practice and want to start planing.
What is the product warranty?
The Nano V4 AST is covered by a 1-year unconditional warranty (manufacturing defects) plus a 1-year conditional warranty (structural damage not caused by misuse), for a total of 2 years of coverage from the date of purchase.
Where is the Nano V4 made?
The Nano V4 AST is produced in Thailand , in one of the factories specialized in the construction of windsurf boards in sandwich technology used by the main European brands.
