ALMA, l’Art du noseride

A bow to the golden era of logging, reimagined with modern precision—ALMA is Qualia’s soulful take on the classic noserider. Designed for effortless glide, graceful footwork, and extended time on the tip.True to its name — Spanish for soul and spirit, this board is designed for fluidity and ocean/surfer connection. 

With a wide, square tail, ALMA offers a stable platform for seamless cross-stepping, keeping you locked in as you move towards the nose. 50/50 rail profile ensures seamless transitions. A dynamic nose concave offering just the right amount of lift while a slightly elevated nose rocker makes for smooth and forgiving take-offs. ALMA sets your line with confidence. The board is forgiving in critical sections without losing responsiveness.

The flat midsection delivers playful trim, while the subtle vee out the tail allows for smooth, intuitive turns—perfect for resetting between steps and noserides. Whether you’re gliding through mellow 1-2ft peelers or logging long 3-4+ft walls, ALMA is a quiver essential. 

Classic, yet never out of style.
