Anyone know when the new 2011 Nobile boards are going to be available? I noticed some shops are advertising the 2HD, however advertising them doesn't mean they have them in stock. I can't even get in contact with the Australian importer/distributor. It's already November and I haven't seen any yet. What's going on ???? Can't wait to get my hands on a new NHP. Anyone

I ordered a new NHP weeks ago, and the response is always 'next week!' not holding my breath!

Has anyone ridden the new boards yet? Still awaiting delivery on mine, need something to keep the jitters at bay!!

went for a spin on the 2hd today. liked it but like the nhp more. new footpads are very nice, comfy and stick to your feet. 2hd colours will suit 2011 north kite owners
thanks jason from briskites for the demo

The complete range of 2011 Nobile boards are in stock at KP now.
All models on demo too.
The new footstraps and pads are awesome, they are the best design I've seen this year, from any brand.
We've been stormed our down here the last few days but hoping that tomorrow we will get great conditions to test some of the range. Drop by the shop if you are going for a kite and grab a demo.

you havent seen the Xenon Pads and Straps yet Steve

Awesome stuff Jas,

Ill be in today to pick up a 134 2HD... got any spare sets of pads?
My HNP needs an upgrade, sick of broken Syncs ending my sessions early.

whats the ride difference, 50/50 - 2HD and NHP ?

Fifty50 is a boots & wakestyle board. Most rocker of the lot.
NHP is their freestyle board with a bit of rocker.
2HD is their freestyle board with less rocker (much like '09 666). Fastest of the three.

2hd has flexi tips but stiff middle

Now I am confused

The Nobile 666 was their flexiest board by far.

the 555 which was the intermediate, was much stiffer

and the Shinn Pro - was in between both boards

So are there new models much stiffer than their old models?

I just want to know from someone who has ridden a 666, which of the boards is the most similar in flex.. and how similar is it ?

well I rode all 3 of the line-up in (08 I think)

the 666 and shin pro were the most comfortable boards I've ridden.

the pro was stiffer, and as a result a little skatier, and needed a little more speed to pop, and didn't edge as well as the 666.

the 666 was the best popping because it was the flexiest, you could load up the rail, and when you popped - you always got a little extra as the board unloaded it's flex leaving the water.

sounds like the 2HD is maybe similar - a lot of the other boards around now are as stiff as broom sticks.
