SnowkiteboardsNobile introduced the first dedicated snow kite board into the market in 2006.
Whilst many felt that their standard snowboard was good enough, few that have tried a dedicated model would ever go back.
We’ve expanded and fine tuned the range to offer more versatility ensuring that you enjoy your ride without a kite just as much as you do with.
The boards feature a 100% symmetrical setup for riding either regular or switch and are built using a wood/abs construction with Carbon Kevlar X stringers.
Wood is known for its superior anti vibration properties whilst the X Stringers control the torsion throughout the board.
The tip and tail kick have been raised for the 2007 models allowing for better clearance in powder and more control during landings but still feature the Hyper flex zones best for adapting to all terrain.
Our continuous 20m side cut of 2006 has been replaced with a three stage radius still offering good edging ability but improving the turning performance.
Also kept for 2007 is the Premium Sintered base for faster riding and improved glide and our revolutionary TRIP technology, helping you to avoid rail trips during high speed landings.Tested and approved by World Snow kite Vice Champion Remi Meum and available in two sizes. The 163 is perfect for freeriding and powder conditions whilst the 157 will suit the more aggressive freestyler and smaller riders.
ABS Sandwich Construction
ABS sidewall construction has long been considered the superior construction method for Snowboards. Combining extreme impact resistance and durability with precise and accurate flex control properties this technology allows the creation of a high performance, yet versatile and easy to ride, kitespecific, snowboard.ABS Sandwichbauweise
Wood Core
Known for it’s superior anti-vibration properties, consistent flex and outstanding durability, the Snowkite range features a 100% wooden core.
Sintered Premium Base
In a sport where efficiency is everything there is no better base. A sintered base provides the least resistance, fastest sliding material used in snowboards. Normally reserved for race and alpine boards when used for snow kiting the benefits in light wind performance and speed are especially noticeable.
Hyper Flex Zones
Snow kiters encounter situations that regular Snowboarders would never experience. The 3-D aspect of the sport requires a board that can adapt to any terrain and situation…and fast! In order to maximize your fun, comfort and performance the Hyper Flex Zones, located through the tip and tail of the board, are constantly adapting to let you concentrate on your riding and not worry about what’s going on underfoot.

Tip‘ntail Rail Inversion Points
A Snowboard rail is designed for carving…powder or piste, beginner or pro, everyone wants to leave tracks on the mountain. SnowKiting entails riding the board flatter, straighter and often at high speed, the sharp rails are just waiting to catch and put you down. Our unique TRIP Technology works to hold the rail clear of the snow when riding flat on the board (eg when landing jumps), dramatically reducing the chances of a face plant whilst not effecting edging performance. Beginners or experienced kiters alike will benefit from and enjoy this groundbreaking SnowKite design.Tip‘ntail Rail Inversion Points
X Stringers
Carefully placed Carbon Kevlar X Stringers control longitudinal torsion whilst riding. Any twisting of the board represents wasted energy and a loss of speed and control however conventional manufacturing techniques used to control it result in compromising the global flex pattern thus negatively effecting the boards edging and comfort. Our X Stringers reduce all unwanted torsion without affecting the decks global flex thus providing the rider with previously unachievable riding performance whilst still displaying unparalleled ease of use.
