Re: Nobile - differences between NHP and 50Fifty
Both boards are very good, but if you like "radical" wakestyle -go for 50/50. Personally I
like NHP more then 50/50. NHP is one of the best boards that I tried
for 10 years!

Re: Nobile - differences between NHP and 50Fifty
I didnt like the 134 either. The 131 is perfect for an 88kg rider. The 50-50 is awesome but unhooked landings, I buttslid a lot compared to the 131, but only tested it twice. It would be awesome in bindings. Both boards kill chop and are a huge step up in performance and handling to many others I have ridden.
I manage a kiteshop and have a choice of many boards, I actually bought a 131.

Re: Nobile - differences between NHP and 50Fifty
There was nothing wrong with it. I like to ride powered and the 134 x 42 was just too much board for my weight and affected the top speed. The 134 is better for a 95kg rider and above.

From my experience(i am 73 kilos): for me it was uncotrolable pop, but the worst thing is landings.naishdude wrote: In your opinion, what is wrong with the 134? NHP
Landings is good enough with this board due to concave - seems that board stands on the rails like a train, BUT ONLY if you did it right. If not - you got knee pain. For example: when you landing blind judge and you spin was for BJ3 - you automaticly rotate your board in the water for extra 180( yeah?), and that is the moment when things going wrong. I thought - iam going to break my knees! and thats happened all the time during BJ. Due to its concave(not fins) it sits in the water very firmly, its was impossible to me to get a good spin.
good footstraps, pads - sucks

concave in modern nobile is not the reason not to spin. They didn't spin from the very start in 06 when they didn't have a concavezloilyoha wrote: Due to its concave(not fins) it sits in the water very firmly, its was impossible to me to get a good spin.
