After 4 years of continuous research, testing and development we took a step back and re evaluated the goals for Nobile’s infamous 555 (T5) board range. We may have created the world’s best selling kiteboard, but with clearly defined goals in mind there is always room for improvement. Over and over again we came back to the same design parameters… ease of use, comfort and relevant performance. The development of our NEW '09 Composite Core 2 (90% wood and 10% honeycomb) has allowed us to improve the legendary comfort factor with out losing the board’s lively performance, and once perfected, the addition of our new Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline to the existing Elliptical Progressive Concave, and Anti Vibration Technology, has increased the versatility even further. The new T5 offers the ultimate in freeride ease of use with performance you’ll never grow out of. 2009 Features at a glance - Composite Core 2 Technology and a new 3-D Deck mould allowing better flex control - Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline increases versatility and comfort - Wider stance options for more stable riding position - Fin Shims for stronger fin/board connection - More comfortable and easier to ride with no loss of planing or upwind performance. - Full year warranty against breakage.
