Description

New to Nobile for 2010 is the Nobile 50fifty wakestyle range - the board of choice for KPWT winner Mike Blomvall.

 

After recognising the differing needs for a pure wakestyle board to the requirements of a tradtional freestyle board.

 

The new 2010 3D Construction shaping now makes it possible to accurately control the flex both longtiudinally (tip-to-tip) and laterally (side-to-side) through the board. Stiffer with less flex along the longitudinal axis helps hold the edge for longer before exploding from the water (necessary for huge air), whilst softer flex across its width makes fast, dynamic and comfortable landings possible. The stiffer straighter tips also aid to provide the specific requirements of advanced wakestyle moves.

 

To achieve maximum POP (without the use of the kite for lift), Nobile have increased the radius to achieve a smoother more aggressive carve and thus achieve more height when the kite is held in a powered position. In addition Nobile have selected a 100% Wood core to provide maximum strenght.

 

The all-new 3D Construction mold allows for the use of smaller fins, drastically decreasing the chance of tripping over the tips during high speed landings.

 

Ready to be ridden with either straps or bindings, the 50fifty is something for you if you crave a pure wakestyle board that provides huge levels of control at speed, aggressive carving and unbelieveable POP combined with butter smooth landings in all water conditions.

Being an advanced rider doesn't mean you have to specialize in wakestyle. If your looking for a board that planes fast, turns hard and makes the most out of the widest range of conditions then this might be the board for you.

 

The Human Concept - Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline:
You can’t escape the fact that kite-boarding stances are not symmetrical; can you ride the same on your toe side and heel side edges? If not, then you have to ask yourself why your board has the same outline and fin position on the heel side and toe side edges.

Nobile’s Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline is designed around their Human Concept, performance that is destined to enhance and work in harmony with your natural physiology, not fight against it.

Nobile have tailored the outline on your stronger heel side rail to have more grip, better upwind performance and maximum POP. On the weaker toe side, Nobile have increased the curve radius and bought the fins closer to your feet improving the carving potential and comfort factor of the board when riding switch whilst at the same time radically decreasing the foot pressure needed to hold your edge.

3D Top Mould:
By fine tuning the mould for different sizes - Nobile have managed to both simplify the range with less sizes but still provide a model for riders of all weights and ability levels.

 

Elliptical Progressive Concave:
Elliptical Progressive Concave combines the added advantages of both the flat bottomed board and the concave shape. The tail area of the board is flat allowing increased flex for comfort and smooth turning whilst the centre section of the board has up to 5mm of concave providing earlier planing, extra rail grip and a smoother ride.

 

100% Wood Core:
The development of the New 2010 100% Wood Core has allowed Nobile to improve the legendary comfort factor without losing the board's lively performance, and once perfected, the addition of Nobile's new Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline to the exisiting Elliptical Progressive Concave and Anti-Vibrational Technology has increased the versatility further.

 

Complete Anti-Vibration Control:
It is a little known fact that proper flex control in a kiteboard is not solely determined by the deck's overall deflection in response to pressure. Variable flex zones, flex response speeds and vibration control are all equally important factors. Fast flex response speeds can raise the performance characteristics of a board that can cause rail "chatter" at speed, leading to a loss of rail grip and a general lack of comfort. Reducing this "chatter" or vibration through the use of advanced core materials and laminate provides exceptional rail grip in all conditions and increases rider comfort and control.

 

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 2009, 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.

 

Nobile Integrated Footbed Pro System: The Nobile IFS Pro foot bed is the world’s first triple-density, moulded pad. With each layer becoming progressively harder, the shock absorbing qualities of the pad “ramp up” through it’s depth, preventing any possibility of your foot hitting the board, whilst still delivering a firm surface that gives a direct feeling of the board when riding.

 

Nobile G-10 Fins:

Nobile fins are 55mm and molded in high visibility orange to help in finding the board after wipeouts.

 

Nobile 50Fifty Pro 2010 Kiteboard Features:

• All new 3D Construction allows for even more advanced flex control.
• Kicker and slider proof build quality.
• Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline increases versatility and comfort.
• Wider stance options for more stable riding position.
• Multiple insert spacing for footstraps and conventional wake bindings
• Fin Shims for stronger fin / board connection.
• Smaller fins for looseness and control on landings.

Who is the board designed for:
Nobile have improved the control to the point where larger boards are not only possible but also great fun to ride. Only a year ago a board of 42cm's wide seemed impossiblly big but if you're a heavier rider or like to ride with less power than others you need to try one out to see just how much control it offers.

 

Nobile's Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline concept was first designed for the Shinn range in an attempt to make this THE one board for all riders....carving, jumping, wakestyle, wave, whatever your tastes, the Nobile 50Fifty Pro will never fail to deliver the super smooth feeling and lively performance that you've come to expect.

Reviews

High Wind Performer! Mark Washington

This is a great high wind board - release off the rail and you are going higher than you have ever gone.

 

The finish is so unique and is easy to grip and keep hold of in the water.

The footstraps and bindings are really comfortable and fit really well. If power is nothing without control then you need these!

 

If you are looking for a high wind performing kiteboard with no holding back and you want to look good posing on the beach - this is the board that is going do it!
