Nobile XTR 2011 Sale!!

Freeride/Lightwind

he Nobile XTR 2011 (Extra Range) is all about performance in underpowered conditions. Light winds boards are great for getting on the water in marginal winds, but rarely offer any fun at all as soon as you can comfortably stay upwind. The Nobile NHP XTR is light wind performance optimised, but not at the expense of fun. These boards are guaranteed to extend your riding time at the lower end of the wind scale.

Making any board plane in light winds is a comparatively easy job. Making a board plane super early and still be comfortable to ride in powered up conditions and choppy water is something much harder!

The elements that ensure early planing in a board (flat rocker and parallel outline) work to make the board less and less controllable (and less and less fun to ride) as the wind increases. The goal of the Nobile XTR was to create a board that you could ride in 9 to 12 knots but wouldn't need to head back to the beach and change when it hits 15 to 18 knots and didn't hinder your riding pleasure.

For 2011 Nobile have refined last year's EXT and add the new Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline ensuring that the Nobile XTR continues to perform in the lightest winds possible.

The Nobile XTR features enough versatility and "fun factor" to be classified as not only a light wind board, but also a board for heavier riders and for use when the wind drops and changing up a kite size is not an option. - Nobile Human Concept Kiteboard

The Human Concept

You can’t escape the fact that kite-boarding stances are not symmetrical; can you ride the same on your toe side and heel side edges? If not, then you have to ask yourself why your board has the same outline and fin position on the heel side and toe side edges.

Nobile’s Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline is designed around their Human Concept, performance that is destined to enhance and work in harmony with your natural physiology, not fight against it.

Nobile have tailored the outline on your stronger heel side rail to have more grip, better upwind performance and maximum POP. On the weaker toe side, Nobile have increased the curve radius and bought the fins closer to your feet improving the carving potential and comfort factor of the board when riding switch whilst at the same time radically decreasing the foot pressure needed to hold your edge. Available with yellow/ black footpads.

IFS PRO

The innovative and well-received IFS PRO has been further improved for 2011 and continues to raise the standard of board/rider connection to new levels of comfort.

The IFS Pro is the world’s only triple-density, molded pad resulting in a foot bed system where the compression “ramps up” through its depth of travel. Heavy impacts sees each layer becoming progressively firmer, preventing any possibility of your foot coming into contact with the board, yet maintains the direct feeling needed between the rider and the board when on the water.

Comfort however mustn’t be at the expense of function and the ergonomically formed IFS PRO features an in-board cant leading from the heel down to the toe, ensuring that upon impact, your foot is held securely into the strap with little chance of it slipping dangerously out of it. Featured on the front edge, the multi-ridged toe strip helps with grip, whatever your foot size, and the molded Polyurethane texture under the heel provides traction in all conditions.

Nobile have increased the width of the integrated foot strap to further enhance foot grip and comfort. With no exposed webbing or hard materials to create friction rubs on your feet, the vertical adjustment has been increased to ensure a wider range of fits for all foot sizes.

Finally, in the further application of the Nobile Human Concept they have coloured the straps and pads in a distinctive, high visibility Orange to enable riders to easier locate lost boards should they become separated.

The IFS Pro continues to guarantee that every ride is a pleasure with unparalleled levels of comfort working hand in hand with function.
