I was curious about them too, so I pulled the trigger on a 155 nomad this summer. After a back injury, I ride pretty slow now, 19mph - so the big board is just the ticket to keep me on top of the water and still get good pop. I love the way it rides, and it doesn't feel big when you are out there riding. But the board is freaking heavy - like crazy heavy. I would also say the landings are not the softest...but I heard the newer nomads are a little stiffer which should help soften the landings.
Overall it is my #1 board to ride now, but I would be curious about riding some other big boards, like the murray or the vault now come in a 150.
