New for 2017 Nobile have launched an awesome foil board concept. The clever part of it is it’s ability to pack down into a case that fits on a plane as normal luggage. Also new for this season is the range of surfboards with three shapes and Nobile’s attention to detail in construction these are definitely worth a look!
Surfboards
Waterflow
“Waterflow” is a well-tested kite surfboard in wave conditions from 1-5 ft. This board is to ride at least two inches shorter than your normal shortboard. A single concave enable tighter turns, so it works great for the smaller waves too. Dedicated for someone that wants to start kitesurfing strapless and have this board as an all arounder.
Concave: Single to slight Double to V concave through to keep the board floating and generating speed even in the mushiest wave sections.
Available Dimensions: 5’11” x 19.75″ x 2.38″ 30.10lt
Ocean Cruiser
We have released “Ocean Cruiser” to fill in our performance line of kite surfboards. We have designed this board to perform from shoulder high to overhead waves. A full rocker board with deep single to double concave, narrow nose and a balanced tail lift. This board is for serious wave conditions and will get the job done.
Concave: Single to double concave for power rail to rail transitions and power carving.
Available Dimensions: 6’0″ x 18.60″ x 2.20″ 28.1lt
Snap
“Snap” is the ideal summer board. This board has great volume distributed even in all parts of the board. It feels like skating smoothly on a miniramp. With a little pumping it will amaze you with how fast you can go through the powerless & mushy sections. Ride this board at least 4″ to 6″ inches shorter than your normal kite surfboard.
Concave: V to Double concave through to keep the board floating and generating speed even in the mushiest summer waves.
Available Dimensions: 5’7″ x 21.25″ x 2.60″ 38.78lt
