Description
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.
For 2010 Nobile has maintained
the winning shape that made Kite
skim boarding
accessible
for
everyone
but has added a textured UV stable top sheet.
This not only has the benefit of maintaining the good
looks of your board over time but provides a non slip
surface that
is both easy to hold and gives extra traction should
your feet be off the pads at any time.
The Nobile kite specific skim 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.
With it's parallel sided outline and optional fins on
our board enable 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.
Textured Foil
for Increased Grip:
The top foil of the Nobile Skimboard features a micro texture to reduce the chances
of sliding off the board in the event that you land with your feet not 100% centred
on the pads. The texture also increases grip when grabbing the board.
Optional Fins:
The Nobile Skimboard 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 chop and makes 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 2010, 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.

Reviews
Great for light winds! Kyle Cox
What a great light wind tool - I am still going out into the
waves even when the wind is really light. The board is wide
enough to change direction, riding toeside and can be ridden
in the shallows with the fins off.
Ride in barefoot or with wetsuit boots for
grip if you want, but I have found it works great with a pair
of old trainers!
