Review:
It is one week that I am riding this board. Before buying it I was a bit sceptical if I would feel much difference compared to a traditional snowboard. Since 2001 I was riding symmetrical freestyle Burton and thought I couldn’t find anything better. In reality it turned like you compare the worst water board with the best top rated.
Min. 2cm side cut and the sidewall bevelled to deck provide 100% grip at its full length with snow or ice at any speed including very curved turns and switching. When you look behind when riding you’ll see a clear cone track of the rail instead of a smashed wide track of a traditional snowboard. The 2nd benefit of the board is that it is extremely fast and slippery. These both peculiarities allow you to edge hard and fast before a jump and that results in a huge vertical boost, just like on water.
Also because of that it is very easy to jump unhooked and if you do it from a kicker you’ll find yourself on extreme height and very far from a kicker. The central part of the board is stiff but the tips are very flexible providing soft and fast landings. The finish and quality of the board are superb. It is definitely lighter compared to classic snowboards. Everybody who tried my Nobile was immediately impressed. I highly recommend this board for snowkiting. It is impossible to get disappointed with it.
