Description

There is no doubt that wave riding can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of kitesurfing, yet not every rider has the ability or the desire to commit to riding a full directional board in the surf.

 

The Nobile Shinn Wave bridges the gap....superior to any twin tip in wave riding - the Shinn Wave will introduce you to the world of tight, carving bottom turns and snappy off the lips, without the commitment of having to gybe on every turn.

 

There is something on offer to novice waveriders and experts alike. The high flex composite core and 3-step tail design elimnates the need for normal high rockers associated with wave boards.

 

The resulting early planing and phenomenal upwind characteristics will get you out to the surf zone fast. There you can enjoy the insane grip and drive through the turns of the dedicated directional setup, or enjoy the freedom and reassurance of a 60/40 twin, knowing you can get out of trouble fast without needing to gybe.

Classic surfboards provide a unique experience for riders of the highest ability. However, in the development of this board - Nobile have tried to recognise that not everyone has either the opportunity to ride in perfect conditions nor the time needed to master the techniques required to enjoy a dedicated board to the fullest.

If you're not confident of your gybes (or just looking to get out of an uncomfortable situation fast) the nose fins offer a genuine solution to riding both ways yet are small enough to avoid catching when riding waves.

In order to make the board as versatile as possible large 12 mm moulded EVA pads are supplied pre attached and this board features our new dedicated wave strap. Stance positions are provided for both in line directional riding and offset twin riding.

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.

 

7cm Centre Wave Fin:
The Nobile Shinn Wave features a tri-fin setup with 55mm fins on the rails and a 7cm wave fin in the centre. The larger centre fin increases drive through the turns, whilst using slightly smaller side fins than normal increases the ease of use when riding the board backwards without hindering riding ability.

 

Synthetic Leather Top Skin:
Whilst providing the unique look of the Nobile Shinn Wave, the textured synthetic leather top skin also serves to increase foot traction between the pads - a useful bonus for riders that like to gybe.

 

Multiple Stance Options:
The Nobile Shinn Wave features multiple stance options to facilitize all riding styles. Using the most rear position provides the most directional feel for the board and is best suited for those gybing on most turns. The forward most position is best for riders that wish to ride the board backwards for part of the time. The "duck" stance is for riders that don't ever want to gybe and prefer to use the Wave as an asymmerical twin-tip.

 

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 System:
Nobile's revolutionary Integrated Footbed System allows for simple installation and a huge range of adjustment to fit all foot sizes.

 

Nobile G-10 Fins:

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

 

Tip Rocker Profilers: Supplied with all Nobile 2009 boards, Nobile's patented Tip Rocker Profilers are specifically matched to the profile of the fin. It's no secret that in choppy water some boards generate more spray than others. What's not commonly known though is that the spray is normally caused by water hitting your front foot and being kicked up into your eyes. Changing the rocker of the board changes the release point of the water but can also adversely effect the performance of the board. By placing the profilers under the fins on the heelside edge - you are effectively adding around 5mmm of kick into only the ultimate part of the tail of the board. In most cases this is enough to change the angle the board rides at in the water and eliminates the spray. If you don't have a problem or are fortunate enough to ride in flat water you can leave them out for the most efficient rocker possible.
