boards season 2013
NHP
THE ULTIMATE BLEND OF POP, CARVING & CONTROL
NHP stands for Nobile High Performance and this board really means it. Packed with cutting-edge technology and top of the shelf materials, the NHP is a freestyle focused all-rounder designed for non-compromised riding. Whether you're riding unhooked or hooked in, the board features POP, comfort, grip and a smooth ride, both on flat and choppy water.
For 2013 we redesigned the outline of the NHP, so the new model includes even more POP and carries enough speed to perform and score podiums in PKRA competition. If you want a comfortable and easy to ride board that gets upwind quickly and works very well for big-air style jumping, this model will be a perfect choice.

Technology
STRONGER - LIGHTER - BETTER RESPONSIVENESS Prestressing means the intentional creation of initial tension in a structure for the purpose of improving its strength properties.
Hydrodynamic Rockerline was developed after careful analysis of water movement under the kiteboard.
By using advanced core materials, laminates and variable flex zones, we managed to eliminate almost all vibrations that occur during the ride.
This aerospace product has found its sweet spot in kiteboarding technology as well. It's 90% lighter than wood, but has great durability.
With its harmonious characteristic, combining strength, flex, light weight and vibration damping, wood is still the uncrowned king of core materials.
Dynamic Asymmetrical Shape is designed around the Human Concept, to enhance your performance and work in harmony with your body.
Careful paint jobs not only magnifies colors and makes your board the best looking equipment on the spot, but it also protects the kiteboard graphic from fading.

TKB SUMMARY:
The 2012 Nobile NHP is a unique and fairly wide board. It features a wood and honeycomb core, wide asymmetrical outline, and channeled bottom. This board’s fins install with a unique cam-lock screw that means you don’t need any tools to install or remove the fins. Our testers were unanimous in proclaiming this the smoothest-riding board in choppy conditions. They commented on the smooth and forgiving ride, great upwind performance, and average pop. The NHP uses the Nobile IFS Pro straps and pads which testers commented were comfortable and easy to install. You can use standard screws or cam-lock fasteners for a tool-free installation.
