Thanks for the great video review. Have you tried attaching a different foil mast to the board? I heard that Moses mast just happens to fit the screw inserts on the bottom.

Jin Kim I have not. I almost purchased a Shinn foil because it will also fit the same setup, but I decided to purchase a Ghost Whisperer 91 on a Hypermiler Board for my full time foil and just use the Nobile for travel. I do wish the Nobile setup were more universal. Thanks for the recommendation on the Moses.

Igod video. Is it a splitboard like a lot of the noble boards? How much does the whole package weigh when in the carrying case? Do you think a slingshot Mast would fit on that board? Thanks

It is a split board like the other Nobile makes. I'm not sure of the package weight in case. I believe it is on their website. The slingshot mast unfortunately will not bit that board, but the Shinn Foil will! www.shinnworld.com

Re-watched this again. Great review. Have owned this board for a few months now. Looks like you have the allround wing - ever try the freeride wing? - that’s what I have. Seems to want a fair amount of speed to foil on but I’m 190 lbs. Any other foil you’ve tried on the zen board? Was thinking about trying another wing or whole foil. Not ready for race wing yet. Was great travelling w this but foam came off a bit too. Hoping the contact cement holds. Thx & keep up the videos.

Alan Lysne. Yes, I sold the Nobile foil and kept the split board. I bought a Shinn K Wing which fits in the 6M threads. It's a lot better foil IMO and doesn't require as much speed and doesn't shimmy at higher speeds. I love the portability of the Nobile Split Foil board though. It just took me awhile to find the right setup for convenience in travel, but still good performance. Thanks for the input.

The OK Kiteboarder useful review, good to have honest opinions. How has the shin foil been with the board? And does it fit the travel bag? Thanks

@@VensystemsUk for what it's worth - I tried the Shinn P on the nobile board. Since that wing has more lift, you need to be a bit further forward on the board so you need to ride strapless. Also tried the Moses 75cm alu 633 setup. Same thing due to high lift. Works though.

Is the deck pad still coming off? Did the glue work?

@TheOKKiteboarder 5 жыл бұрын

I haven't used it, but I am having the same issue on my Jackson deck. It seems the Poland manufacturing plant is having issues with deck pad security. I usually just use the Nobile with travel...we will see if the 3m glue works.

@@TheOKKiteboarder how has it been? Still thinking about getting ones. I'm more interested in using it as a travel surfboard, but I like the option of eventually learning to foil
