Description

After 5 years of continuous research and development, Nobile took a step back and re-evaluated the goals for Nobile's T5 (555) board range. The Nobile T5 range has become synonymous with control, ease of use and comfort and performance. No other board has achieved such consistently high praise from test teams the world over.

 

For 2010 - the world's best selling kiteboard has moved to a 100% Wood Core offering unsurpassed levels of comfort and anti-vibration control without any compromise to rider feeling.

The development of the New 2010 100% Wood Core has allowed Nobile to improve the legendary comfort factor without losing the board's lively performance, and once perfected, the addition of Nobile's new Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline to the exisiting Elliptical Progressive Concave and Anti-Vibrational Technology has increased the versatility further.

 

Light wind planing, control at speed and phenomenal upwind ability are trademarks of the Nobile T5 2010 range. It's ability to perform in all conditions inspiring confidence to all levels of rider are what sets it apart from the rest.

The wider sizes of the Nobile T5 have been tuned to work in lighter winds and for heavier riders whilst the womens addition (apart from featuring a unique colour scheme) has a flex pattern suited to lighter riders and narrower stance options.

The Nobile T5 2010 is designed to obtain performance and above all comfort. Recognizing the fact that not every rider has either the level or the desire to be a pro this range is all about fun in the water and going home with a smile. It's no use having the highest performance board on the beach if you dont have the skills to handle it.

For many riders an easy to ride board will allow them to perform better than a high performance model simply through extra control and confidence that they experience.

 

The Human Concept - Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline:
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.

3D Top Mould:
By fine tuning the mould for different sizes - Nobile have managed to both simplify the range with less sizes but still provide a model for riders of all weights and ability levels.

 

Elliptical Progressive Concave:
Elliptical Progressive Concave combines the added advantages of both the flat bottomed board and the concave shape. The tail area of the board is flat allowing increased flex for comfort and smooth turning whilst the centre section of the board has up to 5mm of concave providing earlier planing, extra rail grip and a smoother ride.

 

Complete Anti-Vibration Control:
It is a little known fact that proper flex control in a kiteboard is not solely determined by the deck's overall deflection in response to pressure. Variable flex zones, flex response speeds and vibration control are all equally important factors. Fast flex response speeds can raise the performance characteristics of a board that can cause rail "chatter" at speed, leading to a loss of rail grip and a general lack of comfort. Reducing this "chatter" or vibration through the use of advanced core materials and laminate provides exceptional rail grip in all conditions and increases rider comfort and control.

 

UV Resistant Foils:
Having the best performing board on the market won't prevent disappointment if the colours start to fade after 6 months use. Nobile's UV resistant foils ensure your board will look as good in six month's as the day it came out of the wrapper.

 

Nobile Fin Shims:
No matter how carefully you ride, anyone can have an accidental contact with the beach or other solid objects. As well as ruining a good session, the resulting damage and / or fin loss can be frustrating. Nobile's new Fin Shims distribute the load placed on the heads of the screws, across the wider surface of the deck of the board, protecting your board from damage in all but the most extreme situations. For 2010, Nobile have increased the length of the fin screws, ensuring deeper penetration into the G-10fins, reducing the chance of fin loss, or damage even further.

 

Nobile Integrated Footbed Pro System: The Nobile IFS Pro foot bed is the world’s first triple-density, moulded pad. With each layer becoming progressively harder, the shock absorbing qualities of the pad “ramp up” through it’s depth, preventing any possibility of your foot hitting the board, whilst still delivering a firm surface that gives a direct feeling of the board when riding.

 

Nobile G-10 Fins:

Nobile fins are 55mm and molded in high visibility orange to help in finding the board after wipeouts.

 

Nobile T5 (Nobile 555) 2010 Features:

• 100% Wood Core Technology and a new 3D Deck Mould allowing for better flex control.
• Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline increases versatility and comfort.
• Wider stance options for more stable riding position.
• Fin Shims for stronger fin / board connection.
• Large fins to keep an edge in stronger winds and to let you go more efficiently upwind in lighter winds.
• More Comfortable and easier to ride with no loss of planing or upwind performance.

Who is the board designed for:
Each size is designed to provide a one board quiver. Light wind planing, great control when powered and fantastic upwind ability are all trademarks of the Nobile T5 2010 range.

Not aimed at any specific riding style these are boards that will allow you to progress quickly and with the minimum of hassle no matter what your current level is.

 

The new Nobile T5 offers the ultimate in freeride ease of use with performance you will never grow out of.

Reviews

Perfect Allrounder! Darren Keane

I have been through the entire worldwide web looking for a bad review but the Nobile 555 has consistently outranked every other board I have been looking at. Now I have one - I understand - its not just hype - these boards really are that good!

If you are just starting out - you are a seasoned rider or you are just enjoying the fun that kiteboarding brings, this is an excellent board.

 

The Nobile 555 has everything going for it! Nice graphics, excellent footstraps, nice sharp rail and forgiving feel if you are still getting used to the waves.

 

It rides upwind well, carves into the turns without skipping out and absorbs the jumps I am now doing which seem really high!

 

Overall whatever level you are at - if you can only afford one board for all conditions - then the Nobile 555 is going to give you the most fun and performance!

 

Best board I've been on! Lewis Johnson

Only been kiting for a few months now, for me, after trying around 10 different boards, I chose this one. I took it out to Portugal, both low and high wind performance was great, the antivibration feature was great as the water was quite choppy and as a "newbie" it definitely helped me kite for longer as I wasnt as tired. Oh and also it looks amazing. Everyone said they had heard about this board and everyone wanted to have a go. Everyone agreed, fantastic board so glad I chose it and would highly recommend it to both beginners and the more experienced.
