Nobile 50fifty 2010
Aggressive freestyle/freeride
New to Nobile for 2010 is the 50fifty wakestyle range - the board of
choice for KPWT winner Mike Blomvall. After recognising the differing
needs for a pure wakestyle board to the requirements of a traditional
freestyle board the 50fifty designed.
The 50fifty incorporates the same 3-D deck shape and channels as the
2010 NHP range allowing for accurate control of the flex between the
longitudinal axis and cross axis. However, it is overall stiffer in
recognition of the specific requirements of advanced wakestyle moves.
To achieve maximum POP (without the use of the kite for lift) we’ve
increased the radius of the curve in both the outline and the rocker to
achieve a smoother more aggressive carve and thus achieve more height
when the kite is held in a powered position. In addition, we selected a
100% Wood Core to provide for maximum strength.
The all new 3-D Construction mould allows for the use of smaller fins,
drastically decreasing the chance of tripping over the tips during high
speed landings.
Ready to be ridden with either straps or bindings, the 50fifty is
something for you if you crave a pure wakestyle board that provides
huge levels of control at speed, aggressive carving and unbelievable
POP combined with butter smooth landings in all water conditions.
Features:
- All new 3-D Construction mould allows for even more advanced flex control
- Kicker and slider proof build quality
- Wider stance options for more stable riding position
- Multiple insert spacing for footstraps, conventional wake bindings and the new Liquid Force kite binding standard
- Fin Shims for stronger fin/board connection
- Smaller fins for looseness and control on landing
- 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.
