Introduction of NOBILE/SHINN Kiteboards:
Whilst for many Nobile may be a new name in Kiteboarding there are few riders that have not experienced it"s underground presence.
As one of the largest snowboard manufacturers in the world, Nobile was amongst the first companies to apply the same technology to kiteboards back in 2001. Since that time we have manufactured boards for some of the leading companies in the sport.
Dariusz Rosiak, the owner of the company, has a lifetime of experience and knowledge in the technology of manufacture and since the beginning saw his goal as the creation of a brand of technologically advanced, price sensitive boards. That dream has become Nobile Kiteboarding.
Our aim is to create the most technologically advanced kiteboards, paired with the best
accessories, making an leading package at a competitive price.
For 2006 we have worked tirelessly to create two ranges of boards under the Nobile name to suit riders of all tastes and riding styles.
Our 555 range represents the all round performance board that most riders will enjoy. Not specializing in any one aspect of performance but performing fantastically in all conditions this range has already become a hit all around the world.
The new 666 Nobile Pro board range are probably the most technologically advanced kiteboards in the market today. The composite core of this board gives unparalleled upwind ability, board speed and early planning and our patented Anti Vibration Technology redefines board handling in choppy water.
A completely new addition to the product line up for 2006 is the introduction of the Shinn
Boarding brand. I have been involved in the development of many boards over the years but have never believed enough in a board to put my name on it. With the formation of ShinnBoarding I am doing just that. The sole aim of Shinn kiteboards is to put into production the boards that reflect the way I like to ride and that can be summed up in one short phrase.
Underpowered, overpowered, choppy water, flat water, waves, big air or wakestyle….if you enjoy kiteboarding in all it"s aspects you will love these boards.
Built with honeycomb cores for lighter weight, superior flex response speed and vibration control and polished to a high gloss finish, I hope you enjoy the looks of these boards as much as the performance!
Whatever your ability level as a kiteboarder we are working hard to create the best product for you to maximize your fun on the water.
Enjoy our boards!

Jaja, die Shinn zit niet te slapen.
Heeft iemand al op zijn board gevaren?
Ik ben benieuwd naar de 1.31..
Heb de 555, 666 en Shinn Pro getest.
555, lekker allround board, goede flex, verstelbare voetbanden, goede voorgevormde pads, zal iedereen wel liggen dit board.
Kost 555e, in de maten 115, 122, 124, 128, 135, 143, 153.
666, allround board, maar meer geschikt voor freestyle, in het midden iets stijf en flex bij de punten, leuk kijkraampje in je board kan je de binnenkant zien.
Kost 649e, in de maten 123, 126, 129, 132.
Deze 2 boards zijn makkelijk te varen, klein beetje concaaf waardoor hoogte lopen peanuts is, pop is vooral bij de 666 erg goed, los gevoel maar toch veel grip.
De Shinn Pro, vond ik erg tegenvallen, veel te stijf, en bij hard varen raak je je rail kwijt, landingen zijn hard, bij verkeerd landen onderuitglijden, in de golven duikt die erg snel, bovenkant van het board is glimmend waardoor je elk krasje zit zitten, onderkant is duraglide en zeer sterk.
En de prijs is veel te hoog 749e.
Maten 123, 127, 131.
Ik heb 555 gevaren en vind het ook een lekker board wat de eigenschappen betreft.
Ik heb echter mijn twijfels bij de afwerking van de boards alsook de duurzaamheid. Nobile boards breken namelijk snel maar dat is ook mede door het feit dat ze gemaakt worden met de snowboard techniek. Is trouwens ook reden waarom de Jaime zo snel breekt. Voor de rest top
