Thinking of putting boots on an older Nobile NHP.
Do you reckon I will destroy it straight away or might get a season out of it?

I ride really powered but don't do many catastrophic wakestyle crashes cos i'm too crap to do any tricks.

Nobile use a lot of ski tech along with shinn in their manufacture, nobile make snowboards at their facility in Poland, so you'd think the inserts would be of a similar build quality, you can take nearly all the pressure from the inserts by applying a bed of silicone to boot base, after you've set them up to correct stance, you'll then need a fine recipro blade and silicone wipes to remove , the silicone doesn't fully weld to a shiny surface, it's more suction

Thanks mate. See you in orbit when we come up your way for a huck and chuck session.
