| I think the only reason you don't see a Nobile in the Gorge is they're not imported at a reasonable price. I'm sure that will change soon. |

I ride the Nobile 135x44 666 for my all around board, but I'm 180lbs and like to ride smaller kites. The Nobile boards are top notch construction and unreal performance. I've never been on another board with as much pop as my 666. Get one the correct size and you'll love it.

You think the 130 of the 555 series will be good for my weight. It was either that or the 125 and that seems small. well thanks again

Mark Shinn at Nobile says you should ride one size bigger Nobile board. This is why I went for the 135x44, I wanted a good wake style board that would plane through the lulls but not feel like a big board. My girlfriend @ 130lbs loves my board, so it's all about what your riding style is.

You guys have no idea how good my FlipTips are.
I'm riding an all carbon 133x41 that weighs 4.5lbs
complete. It's insertless with VHB mounted plates.
Inserts cause stress risers and alter the flex. This
board is like riding a perfectly tuned carbon leaf
spring.
Boeing might be impressed to see what I'm doing
with their custom formulated core materials. Each
sheet has a serial number. And in good corporate
waste fashion, I'm cutting 45-45 carbon biax from
50" wide 0-90 twill.
Want me to build you a money-is-no-object board? |

...and you'll have demo's this summer.
Can you give a ball park figure of what you mean by "cost is no object" |
