Xanadu Nyda – Agile Four-Fin with Classic Vibes and Modern Performance
The Nyda is a lively, squirty four-fin designed for surfers who want to combine old-school style with modern drive and vertical performance. With a narrower nose and slightly pulled-in outline compared to the Squid, the Nyda is built to thrive in the pocket, delivering sharp, dynamic turns with ease.
Its bottom features a single-to-double concave with a subtle vee off the swallow tail tips, while the distinctive winged "stinger" rail break enhances release through turns for smooth maneuverability. Bigger four-fin setups complement this design, giving the board added speed and control.
Pros:
* Excellent turning ability with a squirty, responsive feel
* Single-to-double concave and tail vee create smooth drive and release
* Narrower nose and pulled-in outline enhance pocket performance
* Can be surfed vertically and slides well above the lip
* Suitable for a wide range of small to overhead waves
Cons:
* Not as forgiving for beginners due to its high responsiveness
* Custom tints add cost but offer personalization
Summary:
The Nyda is a perfect blend of retro-inspired design and contemporary performance, ideal for surfers who want a classic-feeling board with modern agility. Its sharp turning, vertical prowess, and responsive shape make it a go-to for riders looking to charge in the pocket from knee high to overhead surf.
