The Ultimate Boards Collection 2015
“Saudade” is a word of Portuguese origin which doesn’t translate directly into any other language. It means deep emotional state of nostalgia, caused by absence of someone or something, but also a positive feeling when you experience something good you really yearn for. For Brazilians “saudade” is a positive feeling. They call it „a love that remains”. It’s a memory of emotions, experiences, places or events which brought us joy and the sense of happiness, stimulate our senses and make us want to live again.
We believe that both for you and us saudade is a longing for ocean, wind, sun and beach. It works both ways, because when we sail, we miss our home, family, love and all the things close to our heart. It’s a positive yearning for the sense of freedom, happiness and love. The Saudade collection refers to Brazil during the full bloom of its culture. To Brazil of the sixties, its modern architecture and design, as well as rich and diverse culture. This collection makes us think about hot beaches and beautiful people from the perspective of Brazilian soul. Saudade.
Gosia Rosiak-Brawanska, CEO Ten years ago we fell in love with kiteboarding. For us every moment in the water means joy and fantastic experience. When we travel around the globe and find our products in Australia, Cape Town, San Francisco, Tarifa or Hel, we are seized with satisfaction and realize the challenges we face every day, in order to meet your expectations and remain the producer of the best equipment worldwide. This year, for the first time, we present four product lines in fantastic Saudade collection, inspired by Brazil of the sixties, when the country celebrated the biggest economic and cultural boom. We are convinced that you will love the boards of Uniao, Pro, Beleza and Separa lines. We want Nobile, apart from being the technological leader of the branch, to set new standards in design as well. Welcome to Saudade.

União NBL
União T5
Uniao in Portuguese means „encounter”. It is also a line of boards for beginners and amateurs for whom it is often the first encounter with this sport.
União Flying Carpet
União The encounter is universal. It can be anything. Just like the circle meets many triangles, one person meets countless people throughout his/her life. This board might be your first but definitely not last encounter with kiteboarding.
The meeting of two people. We don’t know whether they’ve seen each other for the first or for the last time. When you go kiteboarding, your loved ones stay at home. This board will let you remember them.
Shapes meet shapes. Colours meet colours. One encounters another and creates a pattern. Chaotic and wild. Just like the ocean that awaits you.

In short words, since the very beginning performance and safety are the key issues for us. I never wanted just to produce the kiteboarding equipment. I want it to be the best product on the market, the product that set the standards in terms of safety, performance and comfort and helps to popularize the kiteboarding as a sport. I believe the safety on water and the joy of kitesurfing are the most important issues, that’s why most of our innovations were never patented or legally reserved for Nobile, and they already became a industry-wide standards. Just to mention, after developing the first kiteboards to utilize the snowboard technology, we introduced the Elliptical Progressive Concave (EPC) that combines the advantages of both a flat-bottomed board and concave, and provides very early planning, Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline, because we realized the heel

We designed the T5 to keep a smile on your face. Fast, truly userfriendly and responsive, plus it has auto-relaunch capabilities. Is there anything more you need? This year we introduced many changes in order to bring even better performance and take a step forward in freeride-oriented kites. The reshaped construction makes the kite more predictable, with a more direct feeling, and improves the wave performance. Moreover, a huge wind range and stability in the air make this kite one of the most attractive on the market. In the new T5 we have also upgraded aerodynamic capabilities – less drag and superb upwind performance. To do so, we improved durability by using narrow canopy panels and solid reinforcements, which we know is extremely important for all you riders. The new larger valve makes pumping fast and easy. Now you will jump higher, ride safer and have lots of fun in any given conditions!
This classic 4-line kite is the perfect introduction to kiteboarding and we designed it to meet all requirements of beginners or those looking to get a taste of what it’s like to fly a kite. Our training kite – unlike others – is also designed to be used on the water, for body dragging, and for those first few tentative runs with the board. With easy and forgiving handling, direct steering, fast relaunching and an intuitive security system this is the perfect training kite. All of the crucial points of the kite, including canopy, leading edge, tips and the valves area are also reinforced by additional layers of Dacron to make it extra durable and tough. Superb stability and power customized to beginner’s needs make this a great first-timer’s kite, but it can also be used by advanced riders on those days when it is really howling.
We would like to introduce a new machine in kite range. It is called Mr. Big. When others are building sand castles, you will be ripping on the water! This kite has a huge surface with a flat shape generating real power. Six strut construction ensures stability and keeps the kite in profile in the air. Upwind capabilities give you the feeling of being stuck at the window’s edge – which is valuable when you join the race. The manoeuverability of this kite is a pleasure and the feeling of the bar is very precise with perfect handling. Our new large valve helps you with pumping this jumbo. If you really want an everyday kite, you need this stuff!

Nobile fins are produced in „Click&Go” tool-free mounting standard. It takes just a few seconds to mount/dismount fins with your bare hands. A screwdriver is no longer necessary. We redesigned the mounting system to provide a stronger connection between the fin and the board. It’s also easier and faster to mount and demount the fins.
Unlike many others, Nobile kiteboard grab handle is soft and flexible, so in case of crash you don’t have to worry about the injury – it is reduced to minimum. 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 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.

The kite is super-fast, the depower is out of this world, while the large surface wing tips improve the kite’s agility and ensure intuitive feedback at the bar.
