Hi,
Has somebody tried the new Nobile 50fifty kite? Impressions?

Hi, yeah I tested the 50Fifty kite in Cumbuco 3 weeks ago. I was using a 10m² for about one week.

This kite is really good!!!
it´s fast because of the thin fronttube, also fast turning. good pop and low pressure on the bar after you pop off. so it´s way easier to pass the bar now.
Powerful kiteloops and really stable in the air.
Relaunch is easy, just pull one steering line and the kite turns on it´s position.
Performance is a bit like the C4, but in my opinion, it has better feedback on the bar.
Sounds too good, but the kite really is! If you like a Freestyle/Wakestyle kite, you have to test the Nobile 50Fifty!
btw: Everybody else, who was testing the kite, really liked it too.

Would like to buy the 12 m2 kite in alternative to my Waroo 13 m2 (which I really like). Just to have some different fun. Is it worth it? What about lift and hangtime?

lift is massiv! hangtime is good for a C-Kite, but not as long as on your Waroo i guess. but i was able to jump much higher with the 10m² 50Fifty, then my friend on a 10m² Vegas 2012 and he´s the better rider

Hmm... Strange... Anybody seen the kite at all? The kite is out on the Nobile site but no comments!. Looks strange enough to keep away...

relax, the kite just arrived at the distributors in europe today. i don´t know about other continents. it will take some time

There are a few out on the water in Asia . Everyone riding them loves them and they look good ! The distributor here is pimping them massively but one of the more honest guys on the beach who rides them reckons they are just a C4 copy , which i would agree with , but maybe not built as well ....... Ive just started riding c4s after 4 years on bandits and am as happy as a pig in sh%$% with them . If this kite is anywhere as good go for it , you wont be disappointed ...... mind your eye on the low end though i went up a size for these kites so u might want to look at the 14m 50-50

I haven’t tried the C4, but as for the 50/fifty, its super fast. I have been flying the 12m n 9m, both kites are fast, but of cause the 9m is much faster, like a mosquito. For unhook tricks you have to trip all the way, as I notice a fall back at 45 deg if its unhook and untrimmed. Hang time is just as good as the T5. This kite moves wherever you want it to go and fast. Flying unhooked is also a breeze no overpowering feeling.

One more thing, everyone who has tried it, loves it

Hey Guys,

I haven't tried the kite yet, they just came out.

Anyways, here are some pictures of the kite, it looks great.

Right , there seems to be a little confusion being caused from my post ........ so to be clear .

Everyone riding them loves them and they look good !

"The distributor here is pimping them massively but one of the more honest guys on the beach who rides them reckons they are just a C4 copy, which i would agree with , but maybe not built as well"
What i meant was the distributor is pushing them hard because he is v excited about them but maybe that was just 2 me. Pimping wrong word .... Then i meant that one of the guys riding them who isnt affiliated with Nobile feels they are very very very close to the C4 but was worried how well they would hold up if they got hammered in the waves or a bad crash. This is not a dig at the distributors honesty this is just pointing out that there was an unbiased opinion from a guy who rides them. Hes a v good rider so the fact hes chosen them def means they are good !

Lastly i really dont care if they are copy of a c4 or not or if the c4 is a copy of a plastic bag on a string all i said was that if they are anything like the c4 got for it because i was v happy with that kite. I think the last thing we all care about is if one brand copied ideas from another brand at the end of the day they all take the best of whats out there and try and make the best kite possible which is good for all of us .... the end consumer . The whole brand "war" is incredibly childish surely if you are happy riding what u are riding thats all that matters.
