Nobile NHP 2010
The NHP 3D (Nobile High Performance) is the board of choice for PKRA Pro-Tour winner Asia Litwin and enters its second year with an exceptional, big air freestyle performance bias, without compromising on comfort, making it ideal for riders looking for high power riding, explosive POP and controlled landings. All the grip and upwind drive have been retained from the 2009 model and combined with new levels of rider comfort.
Our all new 3-D Construction shaping now makes it possible to accurately control the flex both longitudinally (tip-to-tip) and laterally (side-to-side) through the board. Stiffer, with less flex along the longitudinal axis, helps hold the edge longer before exploding from the water (necessary for huge air), whilst softer flex across its width, makes fast, dynamic and comfortable landings possible. The stiffer, straighter tips also aid to provide better speed, earlier planing and an almost complete reduction of spray.
The implementation of the Human Concept recognises that there are but a privileged few that ride in butter smooth, flat water everyday. The modified Hydrodynamic Rocker Line increases tip lift allowing the NHP 3D to maintain its performance in difficult conditions with ease, whilst at the same time the Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline massively improves versatility. If you’re looking to take your all round, big air freestyle riding to the highest levels, without sacrificing control or comfort, the 2010 NHP 3D won’t disappoint.
-Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline increases versatility and comfort
-Hydrodynamic Rocker dramatically reduces spray in choppy water
-All new 3-D Construction mould allows for even more advanced flex control
-Wider stance options for more stable riding position
-Fin Shims for stronger fin/board connection
-Smaller fins for looseness and manoeuvrability
-3 year warranty against breakage
//3-D Construction
In 2006, Nobile introduced the Elliptical Concave that combines the advantages of both a flat-bottomed board and concave. With the Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline they designed a shape that is destined to enhance and work in harmony with your natural physiology. In 2009, they increased the lift in the tips of the Hydrodynamic Rocker Line, this subtle change increases versatility and dramatically reduces unwanted spray whilst maintaining all the other benefits the NHP has become famous for.
For the 2010 NHP and 50/fifty range they have introduced a new revolutionary 3-D Construction influenced by o team riders. This revolutionary mould allows the creation of differing flex, both longitudinally (along its length) and laterally (across its width), throughout the board.
Today’s riding styles result in heavy impacts and with the wider stances currently used, such loading can result in the board “inverting” and the rocker becoming convex, which normally leads to the tips catching and the rider coming to an abrupt stop.
Their channel mould allows the board to flex across its width, providing for rider comfort on landing, but maintains stiffness along its length ensuring there is no flattening of the rocker on impact, thus vastly reducing the chances of the board catching.
Reducing the longitudinal flex has the additional advantage that the rocker line can be made fuller without the resulting loss of speed normally associated with this type of change. The deeper rocker eliminates spray and reduces the possibility of nose-diving when riding through chop and waves at speed.
Available with yellow or black footpads.

// IFS PRO
Introduced in 2009, the innovative and well-received IFS PRO has been further improved for 2010 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.
For 2010 they 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 Yellow 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.
Nobile´s Human Concept is about harmonising the needs, requirements, and sometimes limitations of our bodies, with technical advancements in equipment as we strive for the ultimate synergy between rider and material. Neither boards nor kites are able to function alone….. it is the rider that connects everything and it’s too easy to let the fanatical pursuit of ultimate performance dominate, forgetting that we riders may not always have the necessary physiology to make effective use of these advances, nor the desire to sacrifice other equally important factors, such as comfort and safety. Nobile’s Human Concept acknowledges that our goal remains ultimate performance through technological and innovative progress, but in COMBINATION with the advantages and limitations our bodies naturally feature, allowing riders to enjoy and appreciate the quality and achieve maximum performance from the equipment they are riding.
