NOBILE KITEBOARDING 2020
NOBILE CELEBRATES 15 YEARS ON THE KITEBOARDING MARKET. As a company who truly believes in the work we do and the products we bring to the market, we are proud to have had such an impact on how kiteboarding equipment looks and performs these days. Nobile introduced a number of innovations which set industry standards, such as the world’s first sandwich boards, flex engineering, the world’s first production split boards, and Fulcrum World’s first fully moulded quick release system, to name but a few. Our designs are infused with the spirit of the Human Concept philosophy, and our passion is to create products that provide users with equipment that not only meets their expectations, but also adapts to their talents, their style of riding, and the conditions in which they kite. At the front of our mind is the kiteboarder, and we want to ensure that any equipment we produce is fully appropriate for him or her, taking into account their requirements, to aid progress, help deliver limitless fun, and primarily to make absolutely sure that he or she is comfortable and safe when riding. We live in a time when mobility is hugely important. We travel in search of the perfect kite spots, or we find ourselves returning to our favorite place, time and time again. Whichever journey you are on, your gear should be light, easy to transport and multi-functional. Six years ago, the adventure lifestyle inspired us to create a line of split boards to make our traveling experience lighter, simpler, and cheaper… No more paying for oversized luggage, or bartering with grumpy check-in staff. Our split board systems put an end to all of that, enabling the boards to be packed with your normal luggage.
OCEAN DRIVE COLLECTION 2020
But the benefits were not only felt in air travel. Thanks to the fold system, the boards are easier to store, and can be efficiently packed in car storage racks, or even in a backpack when you’re motorcycling. Taking the multifunctionality even further for the benefit of our customers, three years ago we launched the Infinity Split Foil – the first ever hydrofoil and wave split board combo on the market. And this year we present the twintip-style NHP Split Foil board, requested by many, allowing any kite trip the versatility of having a standard freestyle option, with the ability to switch to foiling when the winds ease off.

NOBILE KITEBOARDING 2020
TECHNOLOGY
NOBILE HUMAN CONCEPT PHILOSOPHY Right from the very beginning, the idea behind all of Nobile’s innovations was termed by the ‘ H U M A N C O N C E P T ’ philosophy. The point of this philosophy is to understand that it is the human who is the most important part of the system, because even the best equipment is not able to function by itself. It is the rider who connects all the elements of kitesurfing. In practice, it means that to develop the best equipment we have to analyze and understand the natural advantages and limitations of the human body and mind, and build the gear around them. It’s as equally important as the external aspects of the environment in which the equipment will be used: wind and water. It takes scientific knowledge from various disciplines to develop the best performing and truly ‘rider-friendly’ gear. In short, since the very
NOBILE SPLIT
beginning, performance and safety have been the key issues for us. We never wanted to just produce the kiteboarding equipment, we wanted it to be the best product on the market; the product that sets the
CONNECTION
standards in terms of safety, performance and comfort, and helps to popularize kiteboarding as a sport. We believe that safety on the water and the joy of kitesurfing are the most important points, and that’s why most of our innovations were never patented or legally reserved exclusively for Nobile, and thanks to this they’ve already become industry-wide standards. It’s worth mentioning that, after developing the first kiteboards to utilize snowboard technology and the first fully molded safety system (Fulcrum), we introduced the E L L I P T I C A L P R O G R E S S I V E C O N C A V E ( E P C ) that combines the advantages of both a flat-bottomed board and concave, and provides very early planing; the D Y N A M I C
NSC – NOBILE SPLIT CONNECTION EVOLUTION
A S Y M M E T R I C A L O U T L I N E , because we realized the heel-side edge of the kiteboard should work differently than the toe-side edge; and the H Y D R O D Y N A M I C R O C K E R L I N E to optimize the water drag (reflected in control over the board and your riding speed). And finally the C O M P L E T E A N T I V I B R A T I O N ( C A V ) tech, engineered to provide a faster and more comfortable ride. Constant research on the best flex and torsion lead us to invent A D D E D P R E - S T R E S S T E C H N O L O G Y ( A P S ) and 3 D M U L T I C H A N N E L C O N S T R U C T I O N . To make kiteboarding more user-friendly we also invented a tool-free mounting system for accessories and Splitboards (the N O B I L E C L I C K & G O ).

TECHNOLOGY
APS (TECHNOLOGY ADDED PRE-STRESS) P R E - S T R E S S I N G means the intentional creation of initial tension in a structure, for the purpose of improving its strength properties. In kiteboarding, Pre-Stress allows the board to be loaded with energy during production. Storing the energy inside the board makes it a bit stiffer and far more torsion resistant, which results in astonishing pop on the water. Pre-Stress technology also allows us to build thinner and lighter boards which are actually more durable. W H Y A P S ? We tested two boards of an identical shape, size and bottom shape. One of the boards was equipped with the APS system, while the second board’s construction was based on a milled core and mould. W H AT D O W E G E T ? APS improves torsion by 35%, which translates into: - Better pop - Better upwind performance - Great rocker-line grip Thanks to the energy stored in the board structure, APS gives you: - Better pop - Better responsiveness APS improves durability by 10%, owing to which: - The board is lighter - The board is thinner, yet with the same durability - The construction materials (including wood) are less prone to wear
NOBILE CLICK&GO TOOL-FREE SYSTEM The Nobile C L I C K & G O S Y S T E M is produced as a standard tool-free mount. It takes just a few seconds to mount/dismount your fins, pads and handle with just your bare hands, meaning a clunky screwdriver is no longer necessary. We redesigned the mounting system to provide a stronger connection between the accessories and the board; it’s also easier and faster to mount and demount them. PRODUCTS EQUIPPED WITH THIS SYSTEM:

Kiteboards IFS: PRO, GEN2 Grab Handle Fins
ADVANCED FLEX ENGINEERING We achieve a unique flex and stiffness effect, right where it’s required on the board, without any impact or consequence when it comes to the remaining part of the board and its features. In addition to that, the APS system improves torsion by 35% and product durability by 10%. Furthermore, we use less components and the boards are significantly lighter. This kind of development is based on over 20 years of experience, continuous testing, and consultations with top riders and kiteboarding enthusiasts.
ADVANCED FLEX ENGEENERING: AFE With our specialist knowledge, we can design and control flex in all directions: lengthwise, transversally and within the torsion. We are able to achieve any given rigidity and flex in the part of the board where it is required the most, without any impact or consequence when it comes to remaining integral to the board and it's flex features.

WHY NHP SNOWKITE? The NHP Snowkite is a board completely dedicated to be used in the snow with a kite. It’s not just a regular snowboard with a kiteboarding brand logo. When designing the Snowkite we used all our experience and passion to develop the best performing board on the market, whether for snow or ice. You’re looking at massive pop, a versatile flex pattern, and a unique 20-meters progressive sidecut radius. In short: this is the weapon of choice for all snowkiters. Our unique construction results in an insanely comfortable ride, without being forced to ride upwind all the time, while the Nobile Snowkite provides extraordinary grip, both on toe and heel-side edge, allowing you to hold more speed – especially when going upwind. Our patented Snake Transition offers tons of control and response, even on icy and hard-pack conditions, while still maintaining a fun flex. This board is also just as happy being used as a regular snowboard for those days when the wind isn’t playing ball.
WHY RC2000? Proven to ride fast and far, the RC2000 is the ultimate snowkite board. Winner of the Ragnarok 2018 and the ISPO 2014 award, the RC2000 PRO has since been enhanced and refined by the best in the business. Refinements include the ‘3 Steps’ nose shape, increasing board speed by reducing drag, and enhancing stability while optimizing flow. The overall width was reduced to minimize weight and reduce high-back pressure, and attention was also paid to the ergonomics, with extra inserts added. No compromises. No corners cut. This is simply the fastest board on the snow, and sets the ultimate standard in snowkite racing.

BOARDS 2020 | HYDROFOIL BOARDS
NHP SPLIT FOIL FOIL / FREERIDE SIZE: 139 X 41.5 WHY THE NHP SPLIT FOIL? Responding to a demand from our customers, we designed and produced a specific freeride twintip board for hydrofoiling, the world’s first split foil twintip, allowing you the versatility to enjoy a range of wind conditions with just one board, while also offering easier travel and lower transit costs that are enjoyed with a split board. FREERIDE: The board has a 3D wood sandwich-construction and a precision designed X-Reactive Flex which, combined with the Hydrodynamic rocker line, translates into a seriously comfortable ride that is forgiving of mistakes, enhances comfort, and increases maneuverability. Rectangular channels on the tips and a slightly thicker edge guarantee super upwind performance and stability when riding. The Hydrodynamic rocker also allows the board to perform well in chop, while a Split W-Connection (4th generation) maintains the rocker line and the highperformance capabilities of the board. The split also enables easier transportation and storage and reduces extra luggage charges… it’s a true travel-friendly board. HYDROFOIL TWINTIP: We reinforced and stiffened the construction in selected areas to optimize the board for hydrofoil riding. The set-up is super lightweight, making it perfect for cruising and jumping, and has impressive maneuverability. The board can be ridden with straps or strapless. So all you need for your next kite trip is the NHP Split Foil board with our Zen Hydrofoil, easily packed into the Nobile Check-In Bag alongside two kites and all your other travel necessities. No extra costs, and no unwanted hassle at the airport… another travel-friendly solution from Nobile! USED TECHNOLOGIES: • APS Technology Added Pre-Stress • W-Connection • Carbon • 3D Technology • Eliptical Progressive Concave • CAV • Woodcore • TRIAX • ABS Sandwich Construction • Hydrofoil • Double Trust Ractangle Chanel
A product that can be transported and enjoyed worldwide, the NHP Split board is Nobile’s unique answer to the needs of people who ride twintip style boards but, in the case of lighter winds, also want to continue to enjoy riding (or gliding) without having to buy an additional board specifically for each purpose. There have been twintips in the past that have had the ability to connect a foil, but never a contemporary split design that fits with Nobile’s ideology of providing an effective, cost-friendly solution to traveling with a board and a foil. On the water, the NHP Split Foil board’s flexibility (especially in the tips) allows for comfortable riding and simple tricks, with the board driving smoothly upwind, with no splashing. Soft on the knees when landing jumps, it is still stiff enough in the right places to not affect the glide of heavier foil riders. Thanks to the wake-style elevated scoop-rocker line, any loss of lift is smoothly regained, with the board being supremely comfortable to ride thanks to its narrow profile and thin rails, especially when gliding upwind or on waves.
HYDROFOIL BOARDS
It takes only 10 minutes to change the configuration from the twintip to the kitefoil option, requiring only one key to attach the hydrofoil using the Click & Go connection. To sum up, the Nobile NHP Split Foil board, along with the ZEN hydrofoil and the Check-In Bag creates a unique foiling set that not only allows you to ride in a wide wind spectrum, but also offers comfortable and economic travel to the most distant kite destinations in the world.

WHY INFINITY FOIL SPLIT? Unique and effective! Nobile’s foil splitboard is one of a kind… For foilers who love the sensation of gliding above the water, the Infinity Foil Split employs a very thin core, which means an increased sensitivity to the feeling of the foil and water itself, facilitating movement and progression. An EVA foam layer on the deck means your flying time will be supremely comfortable, while also allowing you to maintain correct foot positioning throughout, while the board’s Hybrid Concave makes it highly manoeuvrable and a carving machine! Board stability on the waves is further optimised by the use of effective channelling. The 4th generation of our NSC (Nobile Split Connection) is employed to perfect use in the Infinity Foil Split, folding down to less than 90cm long, making this the board you should be packing when flying off to exotic foiling locations…
WHY FOIL SKIM? Complementing the foiling revolution, our Foil Skim board makes for a highquality foiling experience for everyone! Our engineers have created a light, strong and damage-resistant board that is the perfect option for getting up and above the water. Employing an ultra-thin core, the rider enjoys increased sensitivity to the feeling of the foil and water itself, which in turn facilitates movement and rider progression. The deck itself is covered with an EVA foam, offering enhanced comfort levels and keeping your feet in the correct position, while channels running along the board considerably improve stability during wave-riding.

NOBILE ZEN HYDROFOIL P R O B A B LY T H E M O S T A D VA N C E D A N D T E S T E D ALUMINIUM-COMPOSITE HYDROFOIL EVER MADE! The result is the product of the highest quality, based on the Human Concept philosophy. It’s probably the best aluminum-composite hydrofoil on the market. We also wanted it to be user-friendly, safe and full disassembly, so you can pack it into a compact-sized luggage. We recommend our custom-made “check in bag” which meets the criteria of airlines in terms of the maximum size of registered baggage. We have called our hydrofoil Zen, because when you ride on it, your mind becomes free and your thinking clear as the water surrounding you. MAIN FEATURES: • easy to ride and manoeuvrable • high safety level • solid and stiff construction • steering precision • fully anti-corrosion seal makes the construction immune to unfavourable conditions, such as salt water. FUSELAGE Length (cm): 64 The Fuselage is made of Aluminum used in aviation industry. Milled and turned in lab conditions on CNC machines. Carefully selected cross sections and welldesigned slots securing wings and mast minimize resistance, while increasing durability and rigidity of connection with other components. Additionally anodized in order to protect it against the salt water. Fuselage is offered in two options: dedicated for Carbon Wings and for operating with G10 Wings and Vertical Fin. MAST Length (cm): 35 | 60 | 86 | 96 The aluminium mast is extruded from the material used in the aviation industry and protected against salt water during anodizing process. It is extremely light and stiff to the maximum. Thanks to the non-drag profile, it has very low resistance in the water. MOUNTING PLATFORM It’s a pivotal point of the whole construction, connecting the hydrofoil with the board. Made of high-quality aluminum to make it super-stable and maximally durable. Anodized for long term use in salty water. Spacing: 135-195x90 mm

NEW CARBON AND G10 FOIL WINGS COLLECTION When designing our wings, we set ourselves the important goal that they should be stable, but at the same time be fast, light, durable and easy to maneuver too. With this goal in mind, we found ourselves inspired by the wings of the mesmerizing Kolibra bird… The course of nature is rarely wrong. These little birds have behind them tens of thousands of years of evolution that have gradually allowed them to achieve their astonishing flight parameters, flying at speeds of up to 120km per hour, with an ability to hover in one place, and move sideways and backwards in flight. What better inspiration for our R&D department, who were inspired by the exquisite natural design of the hummingbird’s wings, creating two separate hydrofoil wing lines: a standard foil with durable G10 material, and a carbon foil with curved ends.

CLICK & GO IFS PRO SIZE: S/M, L/XL Built of the light EVA foam, they’re not only light and don’t absorb water, but they are also comfortable and user-friendly. Their major advantage is the comfort and the ability to adapt to any foot shape. An ergonomic shape has been re-designed – the pad surface is the reflection of the human foot and combined with flexible plastic material it ensures even better foot grip during the ride, which gives you the solid control over the board. In addition, the platform at the toes improves control over the board and precision in transferring the body movement to the board. 3 stripes in straps enable free shaping their geometry, in order to fit the user’s foot perfectly. In addition, by changing their setting in three different positions, you can adjust them to any foot size. Especially designed straps firmly hold the foot in the pad without any uncontrolled movements, while additional pads on the edges improve the comfort in most delicate foot parts. Another layer was added in the toe area, in order to press the toes to the pad surface. Eco-leather guarantees the quality and solidity of the product, the neoprene inside improves the comfort, while the wide Velcro-fastened buckle makes the whole fastening solid and reliable. The strap itself is fastened inwards, which was proved by the ergonomics tests – it is also less prone to accidental catching in by the kite lines. The pad base made of solid plastic has 4 installation holes which allow to change the angle of attaching them to the board, according to user preferences.

CLICK & GO ACCESSORIES
The Nobile Grab Handle has a completely new shape. It is smaller and more handfitted. Especially for our customers we have implemented a new material which guarantees durability and resistance to water absorbing. The handle still keeps its softness and flexibility in the case of accidental hit, so you don’t have to be afraid of injury. The most important thing is that the new handle is lighter and more comfortable in use. Made in highly-visible rescue orange colour, the handle will help you not only to carry the board, but also to locate it when lost on the water.

NOBILE CLICK&GO G10 FINS SIZE (MM): 20, 30, 40, 55 Nobile G10 fins are made of stiff glass composite which guarantees high durability. This material makes the connection between fins and the board very strong, while keeping the low flexibility of the fins. This ensures the high level of control when riding. Nobile G10 fins are compatible with the tool-free “Click&Go” mounting standard and can be used interchangeably with PA fins. The „ultra orange” colour of the fins is superbly visible from the distance, so losing your precious kiteboard in the water is impossible.
NOBILE CLICK&GO PA GF33 FINS SIZE (MM): 20, 40, 55 Nobile PA GF33 fins are made of 33% glass reinforced PA (Polyamide). Fins are made in extremely highly-visible „ultra orange” to let you know where did you drop your precious kiteboard. It features the same durability as G10 Epoxy but is much lighter. 33% glass reinforced PA fins become a standard in all Nobile boards.

NHP SPLIT FOIL
An aggressive rocker line which is responsible for pop and control during jumps during quick turns and high speed.
A flat and gentle bend ensures good stability and a smooth speed increase: a very important element in the early kitesurfer training stages.

AFE has been introduced into Nobile products to control every part of the board’s flex. However, we’ve divided it into three main zones: Tail, Center and Nose, as well as a three-step scale: soft, medium and hard.
SOFT FLEX
FLYING CARPET SPLIT INFINITY SPLIT FREESTYLE
This is the most comfortable and friendly type of flex in our boards, giving you full freedom when riding and turning, and forgiving all the minor mistakes at the same time. It guarantees you unbelievable pleasure during the ride and reduces chop on the water.

MEDIUM FLEX
SKIM FOIL
Created for keeping top performance of the board, while maintaining comfort during the ride. Reaction to transferred impulses is fast, so the board can be controlled easily.
INFINITY SPLIT FOIL
HARD FLEX
Designed for the most demanding and technical riders, ensuring immediate response, perfect control and some mega pop. Uncompromising boards, prepared perfectly for any given kitesurfing technique. In our 50/Fifty wakestyle board we have introduced Negative Flex, which is important for those who ride in boots. This is also in our three-step scale and three board zones as well.
