Nobile says that their 2011 collection is all about freedom of choice and discovering new aspects of the sport we love so much. For 2011, Nobile will offer three next-generation kites and focused their R&D on retuning each of their canopies to offer faster turning, more power, and stable performance.

All boards offered in 2010 will be continued in 2011 with some minor tweaks as well as the introduction of three new boards, including a directional. We spoke with Lukas Piatkowski of www.muvon.us, Nobile’s North American distributor about what Nobile has in store for us for the new model year.

In 2010, Mark Shinn and Nobile parted ways. How has this affected the brand and who leads the R&D efforts for the kite and board lines?
Mark was a really important part of the company, but his main responsibility was marketing. Although Nobile always listened carefully to Mark’s ideas on boards and technology, it was always Dariusz Rosiak, Founder of Nobile Kiteboarding, who’s been leading R&D and Nobile’s innovation.

Additionally, our team riders really influence the gear we offer such as Mike Blomvall’s 50fifty or Asia Litwin’s NHP WMS.

For 2011, Nobile is introducing an all new control bar. How has the bar improved and is it universal for all the kites?
The major improvement for the 2011 bar is a totally new safety system which helps make Nobile’s bar even safer and easier to use than the last generation.

The new bar will be white and comes in one size for all Nobile kites with complete depower and a super fast fulcrum quick release for maximum safety.
