Check out how many solutions we’ve come up with in order to increase your safety while you can just enjoy your favorite sport: - Nobile fulcrum: in case of an accident on the water the fulcrum can be easily disassembled and put together with just one hand. - 100% depower: all Nobile kites feature 100% depower, and can be easily relaunched from the water. After an accident you do not need to take your kite back to the shore. - In extreme situations, all Nobile kites can be landed by rider, without a help of another person. - Soft and flexible grab handle: we reduced to a minimum the possibility of injury caused by a grab handle in case of crash - Orange accessories: The color is exactly the same as used for rescue equipment – it will help you to find you kiteboard when you drop it on the water
PERFORMANCE is for POEPLE We don’t want you to choose between performance and comfort. That is why we are constantly searching for solutions that give the best possible performance, but all this in consideration with human’s body limitations. - Board flex management: Thanks to technological breakthroughs like 3D Construction and Pre-Stress technology we have mastered the flex control. Nobile boards are lighter, stronger and feature better responsiveness than any other: massive POP, upwind and choppy water performance plus unbelievable comfort on landings to save your knees and back - Footpad with air chambers: designed to take the most of the impact during the landings to protect your knees and spine - Click&GO tool-free fins mounting system: it takes just few seconds to mount/demount fins with your bare hands – enjoy the freedom Hi-performance combined with safety and comfort – all this in order to give you the riding experience you’ve never dreamed of before... Simply: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS !

Nobile 50Fifty board and kite is a perfect set up for me, the best one I've ever used. It meets all my expectations and allows me to go big and compete at PKRA series
Carlos Madson
I'm local from Lagoa do Cauipe, Brasil, It was at my local spot where I saw somebody kiteboarding for the first time. It was foreigner who visited Brazilian spots to train. I really liked it and started to learn how to kitesurf. This year for the first time I started to compete in PKRA, it's really important for me to take part in this Championship. I'm also for the first time in Europe and I must admit I’m really happy about that.
Mike The Knife Blomvall I have never possessed the talent that so many others do, sitting still. School was boring to me. When I was younger it was always climbing that was most interesting everything from walls to trees. (…) One day I saw a guy jumping 3-4m in the air and pull rotations while kitesurfing, so, I laid down my windsurfing gear, sold the car and bought myself some kite gear. I entered my first competition 6 months later, the Swedish nationals in 2002, and won. Ever since then I have been committed fully to kitesurfing. (…) My ultimate goal is to keep the progression of kiteboarding moving forward, Kiting is an incredibly diverse sport where riders can boost big air, pop board tricks, riding rails and ramps, kiting on snow and there are even speed junkies. I would like to continue seeing progression in my speciality, wakestyle, high speed, powered up moves involving hard landings and tough moves. Life is to short to not make the most of it!
Jose Luengo
Before I become a professional kiter I worked as a company executive. Everyday I had to be in the office and control 30 people who worked for me. I did not like it...
Andi Meder I started kitesurfing in 2005 in Egypt, when kites were real C-kites and wind was always blowing 100%, briefly, back in the days everything was better ;-)
Being a clinical psychologist, it’s been a priority to have people look at what makes them happy. When I started kiting I quickly realized being on the water was such a thing for me, and so the last years has been a good combination of psychology & kiting. It has become important to focus on what makes my life meaningful.
My year 2011 was sick! Five weeks in the Caribbean, five weeks at the North Sea and then some extra 11 weeks in Brazil with 100% wind and lots of fun. As you can imagine kitesurfing is pretty important to me, it´s my number one sport right besides jogging, minigolf, chinese checkers and darts :D
Kiting taught me a lot about how easy it actually can be to make changes. I got rid of all my furniture and the nice car knowing I will get those things at a later point, but what I won’t get back are the years of my life. Besides learning that big changes are not too hard to make, the best wisdom from kiting is becoming more spontaneous. Chasing the wind made me discover a lot of new places and being out in nature has become a higher priority.
Last year I started paragliding, which is also really nice. You can go slow, enjoy the silence and stunning views high up over the Alps. But you can also do some freaky acrobatic manoeuvres to shock your parents. In winter I go backcountry skiing, speedriding or snowboarding, everything to have some fun.
Jannicke Stav
"Find a passion, make it your work, and you will not have to work a single day in your life". I don't know who said that, but this person is rather wise. Kiteboarding for me is more than a passion, it now makes my lifestyle, dreams, mood. This sport has really become the main way I express myself. It gives a chance to develop yourself, to reveal your fears, step over it and go further. Right after graduation, I quit the job for happy hippy living for couple of months. Due to kiteboarding these couple of months of the sea, wind and sun still last:) I started teaching kiteboarding to be always at the water, ready to kite. I thought being a kiteboard instructor would be an advantage. It turned out to be not at all :) Now we organize freestyle camps for russian riders, it is interesting but so pity when you spend 1-2 windy weeks just teaching and watching others kiting. But I am happy to share my skills with others and happy to see them reaching their dreams. What is more important for me, kitesurf style of living lets me do other things I love to do - yoga, meditations, singing songs and playing the guitar. I love the way I live now.

Elliptical Progressive Concave
Pre-stress STRONGER – LIGHTER – BETTER RESPONSIVENESS Prestressing means the intentional creation of initial tension in a structure for the purpose of improving its strength properties. The concept of pre-stressed structure is widely employed in the design of buildings, underground structures, TV towers, power stations, floating storage and offshore facilities, nuclear reactor vessels, and numerous kinds of bridge systems. The idea of prestressing was, apparently, familiar to the ancient Rome architects; the tall attic wall of the Colosseum works as a stabilizing device for the wall piers beneath.* In kiteboarding, pre-stress allows the board to be loaded with energy during production. Storing the energy inside the board makes it a bit more stiff and much more torsion resistant, which results in astonishing POP. Pre-Stress technology also allows us to build thinner and lighter boards, yet still more durable. * Definition according to wikipedia.com
3-D Technology 3D Technology developed by Nobile is still an unmatched milestone in the area of kiteboard construction. Advanced flex management provided by 3D Tech makes the board extraordinarily comfortable on landings, gives it magnificent impact resistance and tons of control. 3D Technology allows more flex in selected areas of the board. As a result, the board features shorter reaction time and better response, whilst still remaining easy to ride and forgiving.
Pop Grower
The Elliptical Progressive Concave combines the advantages of both a flat-bottomed board and concave. The tail area is completely flat, whilst the centre section of the board features concave. This shape benefits from earlier planning. CAV - Complete Anti-Vibration Technology By using advanced core materials, laminates and variable flex zones, we managed to eliminate almost all vibrations that occur during the ride. CAV not only makes the ride smoother and faster, but also provides exceptional grip in all conditions.
Woodcore There is no better material for a board core than wood. With its harmonious characteristic, combining strength, flex, light weight and vibration damping, wood is still the uncrowned king of core materials.
Honeycomb This aerospace product has found its sweet spot in kiteboarding technology as well. It’s 90% lighter than wood, but has great durability. Placed in different areas depending on board model, it reduces weight, gives pop, improves tensional response and allows accurate flex adjustment.
This special “W” shape cut keeps the tips of the board really flexible to provide explosive pop. It’s like pieces of Semtex mounted under the tip and tail of the board, so you can now fly higher than anyone else at the spot. Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline/Shape Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline is designed around the Human Concept, to enhance your performance and work in harmony with your body.We have tailored the outline of the heel side rail to provide more grip, better upwind performance and maximum POP. On the weaker toe side, the curve radius is increased to improve the carving potential and comfort. At the same time DAS decreases the foot pressure necessary to hold an edge.
X-Reactive Flex System X layout of Carbon and Kevlar is a perfect combination. While Carbon supports rebound forces and edge grip, Kevlar reduces vibrations to minimum. Together this results in excellent pop, quick response and optimal torsion.
Extruded Base Hydrodynamic Rocker Line Hydrodynamic Rockerline was developed after careful analysis of water movement under the kiteboard. Hydrodynamic Profile is designed to reduce water drag, optimizing the board shape directly to the water flow. The advantages over traditional rocker with a flat center are increased board speed and improved acceleration.
This base combines reliably good running properties with high durability.
TRIP technology lifts up the board edges at the points where the sidecut meets tip and tail of the board, providing easier turn initiation, safer landings and catch-free straight riding. ABS Sandwich Construction This industry standard construction provides direct power transfer to the edges and vibration damping, resulting in easy to handle and precise boards.
Triax This layout of fibers transfers power directly to the edges and creates perfect flex. As a result the board features aggressive filling, quick response and harmonious flexibility.
Power Plates Additional biax fiber laminate underneath the binding area improves power transfer to the edges with great damping properties.
