Nobile Human Concept Idea
Right from the very beginning, the idea behind all of Nobile’s innovations was termed the ‘HUMAN CONCEPT’ philosophy. The point of this philosophy is to understand that it is the human who is the most important part of the system, because even the best equipment is not able to function by itself. It is the rider who connects all the elements of kitesurfing. In practice, it means that to develop the best equipment we have to analyze and understand the natural advantages and limitations of the human body and mind, and build the gear around them. It’s as equally important as the external aspects of the environment in which the equipment will be used: wind and water. It takes scientific knowledge from various disciplines to develop the best performing and truly ‘rider-friendly’ gear. In short, since the very beginning, performance and safety have been the key issues for us. We never wanted to just produce the kiteboarding equipment, we wanted it to be the best product on the market; the product that sets the standards in terms of safety, performance and comfort, and helps to popularize kiteboarding as a sport.
We believe that safety on the water and the joy of kitesurfing are the most important points, and that’s why most of our innovations were never patented or legally reserved exclusively for Nobile, and thanks to this they’ve already become industry-wide standards. It’s worth mentioning that, after developing the first kiteboards to utilize snowboard technology and the first fully molded safety system (Fulcrum), we introduced the ELLIPTICAL PROGRESSIVE CONCAVE (EPC) that combines the advantages of both a flat-bottomed board and concave, and provides very early planing; the DYNAMIC ASYMMETRICAL OUTLINE, because we realized the heel-side edge of the kiteboard should work differently than the toe-side edge; and the HYDRODYNAMIC ROCKER LINE to optimize the water drag (reflected in control over the board and your riding speed). And finally the COMPLETE ANTI VIBRATION (CAV) tech, engineered to provide a faster and more comfortable ride. Constant research on the best flex and torsion lead us to invent ADDED PRE-STRESS TECHNOLOGY (APS) and 3D MULTICHANNEL CONSTRUCTION.
To make kiteboarding more user-friendly we also invented a tool-free mounting system for accessories and Splitboards (the NOBILE CLICK&GO).
