Nobile Kiteboarding Shinn Boards

Introduced in 2006, Shinn boards set new levels in both technology and finish. Designed to ride the way I do, these boards are all about comfort, performance and above all versatility. I don’t want to have separate boards for every occasion, I like to have one board that can do it all, freestyle, small waves, big air, light winds, strong winds whatever. If you don’t like to follow the crowd and want a board that gives you both endless possibilities and the chance to be different then a Shinn board may well be your thing. For 2007 we’ve increased the overall flex in the boards and made changes to both the outline and rocker. The mould features the same Dual Flex Control that allows for greater range both in light wind and when powered up whilst the graphics and finish maintain the high standards set in 2006. For 2007 I’ve added a new larger size. All the elements we improved upon this year have improved the control to the point where larger boards are not only possible but also great fun to ride. Only a year ago a board of 42cms wide seemed impossibly big but if you’re a heavier rider or like to ride with less power than others you need to try one out to see just how much control it offers.

Dual Flex Control 3-D Mould

In 2006 Nobile introduced their first multi step 3-D deck mould on the Shinn boards. The Dual Flex mould ensures plenty of “pop” whilst still enabling smooth, fast turning and total comfort in chop. The Dual flex control mould proved so effective that the concept is now featured in the 2007 666 and 666 EXT ranges.

Shinn Rocker R52/25

This year the Shinn range features our new R52/25 rocker line. This rocker offers a flatter centre section for faster planing and incredible grip with higher radius tips to improve both turning ability and control at speed.

XCS Outline

To further improve the versatility of the Shinn models we modified the 2006 outline heavily. The centre sections of the board have been both widened and straightened out enhancing straight line grip and upwind ability whilst the tips have had their radius increased allowing faster and more radical turning. Combined with the thinner side wall (1.3mm down fromm 1.8mm) and the new R52/25 rocker line the Shinn board is riding smoother than ever yet retains it’s aggressive performance from last year.
