555 Winner of many magazine tests in 2006, the updated 555 Nobile kiteboard range is designed to offer easy to obtain performance and above all comfort. Nobile recognizing the fact that not every rider has either the level or the desire to be a pro this range is all about fun in the water and going home with a smile.
For 2007 Nobile simplified the sizes and improved the POP from the board without compromising on the smooth, soft feeling and superb chop handling. It's no use having the highest performance board on the beach if you don't have the skill to handle it. For many riders an easy to ride board will allow them to perform better than a high performance model simply through the extra control and confidence that they experience. Each size is designed to provide a one board quiver. Light wind planning, great control when powered and fantastic upwind ability are all trademarks of the 555 range. Not aimed at any specific riding style these are boards that will allow you to progress quickly and with the minimum of hassle no matter what your current level is.

Improved POP
For 2007 we’ve added wood to the composite core of PVC Airex and Honeycomb the 555 model features to improve POP from the board without negatively effecting the super smooth, easy riding feel the range is famous for. The wood is located through the central sections extending into the tip and tail. Wood has been chosen due to it’s ability to “snap” back to it’s original position quickly and the added strength it gives to the board. All standards of rider from intermediate to advanced will appreciate this change as it gives added performance with no loss of control or comfort.
3-D Top Mould
Our 3-D top mould has been completely recreated for the 2007 models. By fine tuning the mould for different sizes we have managed to both simplify the range with less sizes but still provide a model for riders of all weights and ability levels.
Rocker
The 555 range features the Nobile Rocker R68/24. This rocker is optimized for early planing, good grip and easy upwind performance. Whilst not necessarily the ultimate performing rocker for any one specific style of riding this rocker represents our best all round performance and suits the needs of riders looking for an easy riding board that enhances their ability and doesn’t hold them back.
Comfort Optimized Flex Pattern
The flex pattern of this board has been tuned to give the ultimate in control and ease of use. Through the unique shape of the top mould of the board and the use of honeycomb and airex stringers the flex is accurately allocated allowing you to concentrate on having fun and not on controlling the board
Elliptical Progressive Concave
Elliptical ProgressiveConcave combines the added advantages of both the flat bottomed board and the concave shape. The tail area of the board is flat allowing increased flex for comfort and smooth turning whilst the centre section of the board has up to 5mm of concave providing earlier planning, extra rail grip and a smoother ride.
Enhanced Anti Vibration Construction
With our unique honeycomb stringer we can reduce the amount of vibration in the board to add control and comfort through choppy water and waves. The stringer also has the added advantage of increasing the POP of the board when jumping due to it’s faster response time.
