Chop Tail Carbon Foilboard | Amos Shapes Nano

The Nano Prone Foil Board is the latest iteration of the prone range, designed for riders chasing a more surf-like experience with an aggressive approach to turns. With a reduced tail length, this compact prone foil board allows riders to effortlessly execute tight, technical turns and tackle steep waves without rail contact.

Built in collaboration with team riders Tom Earl and Zane Westwood, the Nano has been refined through months of R&D to maximise manoeuvrability, flow, and surf-style performance. By reducing the tail and redistributing volume, the board creates a seamless transition between turns while maintaining stability and recovery.

The wider tail improves balance and makes bouncing off foam more forgiving, while the flat deck supports an offset stance and keeps the board light and responsive underfoot. With ample volume under the chest, paddling remains efficient, giving riders easy wave entry without compromising swing weight.

This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced prone foilers looking for a surfy, high-performance hydrofoil board.

Features:

Foam distributed under the chest for efficient paddling
Reduced tail length for tighter turns and enhanced manoeuvrability
Wider tail for stability and recovery through foam
Flat deck to suit offset stance riding
Compact prone foil board for a surfy, responsive feel
Foil Tec traction for grip and comfort

Nose is good for the paddle but don t feel balanced pushing the turns

Nose is great for the paddle but don t feel balanced pushing the turns. Nano 4’1. Will keep trying different mast positions to see if it helps

I’m having a blast on the new Nano, from 1-2 ft mellow to head high + plus waves with some power this board handles it all very well.
Excellent service from the Amos team, thankyou!!.

Nano! Nano!

I’m an intermediate so this will be old news for many of you. I’m aiming this report at people like me, to encourage them to take the plunge and buy something like the Amos Nano. It’s 4’1” x 19”, 34 litres.

I’m a 10-second pump guy (ho ho!), 87kg, 65 years, riding consistently horrible conditions ie 20-30 knots onshore, 2-3 foot (front) windswell, often bigger but considerably uglier.
I’m comparing it to my Amos Sultan Prone mid-length, 5’ x 18” 55 litres, and my other small board which is 4’8” x 17”, 33 litres.
I’m using an F-One SK8 1150 with 200 Carve tail and a Gen1 FoilDrive with Magic Hub. The battery is on the deck next to my front foot.

The Nano was a real surprise in that I thought it would be an aspirational board that would be challenging to launch, and which I’d take out only now and again when we had decent waves (or more likely when I left town).

It was actually an easy takeoff on 2-3 foot-front windswell, much less demanding in terms of foot placement than the 2-inch narrower but 7-inches longer other board. It just wasn’t a problem. I got up on my first attempt on a 3-footer and then started playing with smaller ones to see where the lower limit was.

It’s so short that the dolphin kick works really well, whereas there was too much board behind me to make it work with the other two boards.

Once up on foil I was amazed. It was 10-25 knots, 3-6 foot-front, big chop everywhere and I have never had such an easy time threading my way through the nastiness. There just wasn’t that much board underneath for the chop to catch.
There was a much stronger sense of riding the foil rather than riding the board compared with my other boards, and much more intuitive when on the waves.

It turned what I expected to be a frustrating, wind-blasted slogging effort to try and learn something into a fun, wave-filled, leg-burning fiesta.
The mid-length is now relegated to pump practice and the other small board, while great, is now looking for a home.
