Powerkites

These boards are all about high performance, top to bottom surfing and in the pocket snaps and gauges. A pulled in tail outline and extra tail rocker drives you through the bottom turn and is incredibly snappy off the top of the waves. These designs turn very tight and allow the rider to go places on the wave where they never could go before!

Properly sized to the rider, these designs will allow the rider to surf wave with little influence from the kite. If you prefer powered up turns with more kite power, these designs work great as well.

The North 2008 Rocketfish surfboards work well strapped or strapless, hooked or unhooked.

All three sizes have the same performance characterisitcs with an emphasis on matching the size of board to the size of the rider. For example a 183cm man might want to ride the 6′0″ while a 152cm girl might be more comfortable on the 5′6″.

Riders, who constantly push the freestyle envelope, demand a board that will test their limits and their skills. The Misfit twin tip has unforgiving characteristics like massive pop, drive, power and hook up any aggressive rider will appreciate. The Misfit thrives on high end freestyle performance.

The newest features of the Misfit for 2008 is the addition of the full wood core and step down side wall construction. Using a unique lightweight wood Chief Board Designer John Doyle has manipulated the concave and the rocker to give the Misfit an even more aggressive drive, hook up and pop. The addition of the full wood core and step down side wall construction also adds to maximize strength and overall durability.

Upgrading the inside meant upgrading the outside. We are proud to announce the Misfit is the only kiteboard in the world to have a 2400 DPI digitally printed top sheet. The result is a pure work of art. In this case seeing IS believing.

For 2008 Nobile has maintained the winning shape that made Kite skim boarding accessible for everyone but has added a textured UV stable top sheet.

This not only has the benefit of maintaining the good looks of your board over time but provides a non slip surface that is both easy to hold and gives extra traction should your feet be off the pads at any time.

The Nobile kite specific skim board is designed to be an inexpensive addition to your board bag that adds to your time on the water by working on the days when you wouldn’t normally be able to ride.
