Has anyone tried a Nobile 555 if so how do they compare to-
Underground FLX
Crazy Fly

I have tried the FLX and CF but can,t find a demo 555 on the sunny coast. I had a look at the Nobile, build quality looks excellent but noticed it had fairly sharp rails compared to the other boards i,ve ridden.What difference does this make? I need a board i can use in all conditions on the coast as my small board (i already have a sligshot SX137)

Thanks Mick

The 555 is sick. I had a decent session on a mates board. Super smooth ride and great all round performance. Really informative website nobilekiteboarding.com/
I know of a 666 demo in Brisbane but not a 555.

I'm riding a 555, I'd say not great in the waves, but its ok, bit skatey, however the white things/inserts (for lack of a better word) that you put on under the heal side edge fins makes a big difference in chop/waves. But on flat water its sooo good!! I was riding an underground before and the 555 is so much smoother and i'm getting a lot more pop from the 555 and the landings are soft and the board corrects itself quickly if you land a little off.

I also give the Nobile 11/10 for their foot pads, the are super comfy.

The Nobile 555 is a top notch board. I would just get a medium size board like the 130x39 instead of a smaller one and get rid of the large board you have 137. They handle a huge range of wind and you would have no troubles having one board.
