Description

The Nobile Wood Skim Hybrid Wave has more wave ability thanks to new Pre-Stress technology that makes the board lively and more reactive. Complete with skate style grip for better feet grip. It features increased stability and manoeuverability over the standard and is the best introduction to wave riding.

 

Kite Skimboarding is no longer a trend; it's part of our sport. On any given spot - on a light wind day you can probably find one or two dedicated kite skim boarders.

 

The Nobile kite specific skim hybrid wave board is designed to be an inexpensive addition to your board bag that adds to your time on the water by working on the days when you wouldn't normally be able to ride in the waves.

 

The Nobile Wood Skim Hybrid Wave is also loaded with Nobile Pre-Stress technology. During the production process, Nobile "freeze and store" the energy in the board construction. This energy is then for your disposal just when you need it. It benefits with more pop, fast reaction, better grip, manoeuvrabiliy and anything you want to use it for. This technology also allows Nobile to make the Wood Skim Hybrid Wave lighter than ever.

With it's parallel sided outline and optional fins on the Wood Skim Hybrid Wave board enabling better tracking and more stable riding whilst still maintaining a free and loose feel.

Ride with or without fins depending on your preference. With - providing positive tracking, better upwind ability and easier riding, without - for a skatier feel and the ability to ride in incredibly shallow water.

Conventionally, skim boards offer incredible light wind performance but can be a handful if the water is choppy or the wind increases.

 

Skate-Style Griptape for Increased Grip:
The skate-style grip tape on the Nobile Wood Skim Hybrid Wave reduces the chances of sliding off the board in the event that you land with your feet not 100% centred as well as increasing grip when grabbing the board.

 

Pre-Stress Technology:
The idea of pre-stress was already know by architects in ancient Rome and was used during the construction of the Colosseum. Pre-stressing means the intentional creation of permanent stresses in structure for the purpose of improving its performance under various service conditions.

 

Nobile Pre-Stress allows Nobile to load the board with energy already during the production process. Storing the energy in the board mean's it's more reactive, responsive and livelier. It also allows Nobile to build a thinner but more durable board!

 

Optional Fins:
The Nobile Wood Skim Hybrid Wave features optional fins. Traditional skimboard riders and those blessed with glassy flat water conditions will love the skatey feel of the board when finless. However, if you ride in "real" world, imperfect conditions, the fins add immense amounts of grip through the chop and waves whilst still making landings easier.

 

Nobile Fin Shims:
No matter how carefully you ride, anyone can have an accidental contact with the beach or other solid objects. As well as ruining a good session, the resulting damage and / or fin loss can be frustrating. Nobile's new Fin Shims distribute the load placed on the heads of the screws, across the wider surface of the deck of the board, protecting your board from damage in all but the most extreme situations. For 2012, Nobile have increased the length of the fin screws, ensuring deeper penetration into the G-10fins, reducing the chance of fin loss, or damage even further.

• Skate-style Grip tape to reduce the chance of sliding off the board.
