Travel-friendly high performance twintip
Nobile NHP Split 2026
Splitboard – airline ready Freeride/Freestyle All-round performance Medium–Stiff Flex
The NHP Split 2026 is Nobile’s iconic performance twintip that packs in seconds for easy airline travel — without sacrificing pop, edge grip or upwind efficiency. If you want one board that rides fast, boosts big and still fits in a 90–100 cm luggage, this is it.
Highlights
- Split connection (W-Connection) – packs small, assembles in under a minute.
- Dynamic rocker line for smooth chop handling and easy landings.
- Asymmetric outline (heelside bias) grips harder where you load the edge.
- Carbon/wood core layup for lively pop with controlled flex.
- Elliptical concaves + multi-channel base – locked-in edge when powered.
- Reinforced inserts – compatible with most standard pads/straps.
Who it’s for
- Intermediate to advanced freeride/freestyle riders who travel often.
- Anyone who wants the handling of the regular NHP with the convenience of a split.
- Best in flat water to medium chop; handles strong wind and big boosts confidently.
Technology & Construction
- W-Connection Split System: precision tongue-and-groove joint with internal locking hardware keeps the board torsionally rigid when assembled, yet breaks down to two compact halves for travel.
- Pop-friendly wood core: lightweight paulownia/ash blend tuned for rebound and durability.
- Triax fiber & carbon stringers: increase longitudinal snap while keeping a damp feel in chop.
- Hydrodynamic base: double concave center with tip channels for early planing and rail hold.
- ABS sidewalls & sintered base finish: impact-resistant with long-lasting glide.
- Stainless hardware kit included for quick assembly/disassembly.
Travel Tip: Packed length is roughly half the board size. Most riders use a regular check-in suitcase (no oversize fees). Allow a few extra minutes at the beach the first time to learn the assembly sequence.
