Core Kites are some of the best kites on the market today. Their team are positioned 1 2 3 4 on the Woo Leaderboards for highest jump, which says something. Keeping their range of kites small means it’s easier to choose a kite that’s perfect for you. The XR series is their wonder kite. Performance Freeride, Wave Riding, and even a touch of Race. The Nexus is Core's flagship Wave Kite, but also is part freestyle/freeride, which is great for the guys that want to do a bit of everything. The GTS series is the Freestyle machine from Core. Excelling in freestyle, the GTS also handles wave and freeride exceptionally well. Give us a call on 01202 738448 to demo a kite, or pop in store and we can run you through the range!

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Sensor Pro Kitesurfing Bar and Lines at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>No gimmicks. No unnecessary features. The new Core Sensor 3's elemental design delivers superlative feel and comfort when kitesurfing!<br /> <br /> Core Kiteboarding have perfected the art of controlling a kite with their new Sensor 3 bar and lines utilising ergonomic bar ends, one-click width adjustment, hidden winders, and easy-in CIC Quick Release. The Sensor 3 is a unique bar system built for today's high-performance kites.<br /> <br /> Experience high-tech wizardry brought to you by Core's R&D team, providing the most direct kite feeling ever, Rick Jensen, Core's Sensor 3<br /> product developer says "Our uncommonly clean bar and bar ends further improve the Sensor 3's ergonomics and haptics". New Stealth Winders revolutionise bar design, unique flight and storage features, after unwinding the bar, the Stealth Winders fold in and disappear into the bar ends. "Useable, soft grip extends to the bar ends to give you more<br /> real estate," explains Rick.<br /> <br /> The new EVA grip with an optimized profile guarantees non-slip action. And its improved color scheme and red line let riders know when the bar is reversed. "Our easy-in CIC Quick Release needs extremely low release forces and resets with a click." Philip Schinnagel, Core's CEO, comments acting much in the same way a seatbelt clicks back into a buckle, offering one less concern the kiter whilst flying their kite. Core is united with the Global Kitesports Association (GKA) to make this sport as safe as possible, so "it's logical for us to unify the triggering direction, too." explains Philip.<br /> <br /> The third generation Sensor 3 also offers a Pro version with upgraded features. The signature feeling of the Sensor 3 Pro is a function of its carbon fiber construction and proprietary Tectanium Vario lines. Tectanium lines are thinner, lighter, and more stretch-resistant than Core's standard lines. The Vario lines also feature four different lengths to match rider preferences.<br /> <br /> Proven Core features such as its titanium-reinforced bar, Supported Single Frontline Safety, 4:1 adjuster, and Auto Untwist function are naturally carried over from the fantastic Sensor 2 kitesurfing bar and lines.<br /> <br /> Experience new possibilties with unrivalled feedback, connect and control!</p> <h3><strong>Features: </strong></h3> <p>- Carbon Soul: The incredibly light and rigid carbon fiber composite reduces the bar's inertia, which in turn improves response and control. Kitesurfing has never been more precise!<br /> - Tectanium Vario Lines: The no stretch Tectanium center and steering lines are 400% more resistant to elongation and feature an unbelievable 50% higher breaking strength. The 10% thinner lines are also noticeably more aerodynamic. Our adjustable length Tectanium lines let you fly your kite at 18, 20, 22, or 24 meters with its base 18m lines and 2 extensions.<br /> <br /> - Titanium Core: The integrated titanium truss ensures Core's twin auto-untwist center lines that pass through the center of the bar do not affect the bombproof rigidity of the Sensor 3 bar. It might be overkill, but we prefer it that way. And if the center lines wear out the bar guide, replace it with a fresh one.<br /> - Stealth Winders: No divots, sharp corners, or hard protruding ends on this bar. The clean, minimalistic and soft bar ends don't just look fantastic but are super grippable. After your fun sesh, the bar ends fold open to reveal hidden line winders.<br /> - Griploc: Optimized bar texture for best grip. The narrow, non-slip asymmetric grip is easy on the hands (even for marathon sessions). Contrasting colors provide improved left/right visual guidance. And a thin redline on the underside lets you know if the bar is reversed.<br /> - Live Wire: Super direct bar response and EZ bar width adjustment. Feel more "connected" to your kite with floaters that don't interfere with the natural movement of the steering lines as they end a few centimeters above the bar. And adjust bar width (50/46.5cm) by merely swiveling the line block hidden under the Stealth Winders. The elastic line keepers also dissappear into the floaters for a clean, uncluttered kite session.<br /> - Auto Untwist: Untwisting your front lines after looping your kite is as simple as pulling in the bar. Front line twists only occur below the Sensor 3 bar where a ceramic swivel unravels the front lines automatically. Another benefit is the sweet "between the fingers" comfort when your hand straddles the center lines due to the narrow width and special coating.<br /> - 4:1 Adjuster: Core's block and cleat system reduces pulling forces by a factor of four making quick adjustments in gusts a breeze (pun intended:). And the adjuster rope features an elasticized construction which shortens and keeps the line out of your way.<br /> - Core Intuitive Connect Release: A push-out and easy click-back-in quick release. The red CIC Release cap is designed to provide superior grip in emergency situations. And reconnecting the quick release is as simple as re-inserting the chickenloop end into the CIC mechanism until you hear it click in. CIC Release. Just release and click back in.<br /> - Supported Single Frontline Safety: Core's exclusive hybrid system combines the advantages of a single front line, double front line, and fifth line safety. When deployed, it blows out the front line (below the "Y") eliminating pull. At the same time, a pulley system shortens the second front line (above the "Y") which moves the kite to a stable and safe relaunch position.<br /> - Short Safety Leash: A short safety leash comes standard with all Core bar systems. When connected to your spreader bar, our 50cm leash delivers better ergonomics and safety. It's easier to see or grab, and it won't tangle. If, on the other hand, you see yourself unhooking in the future, we have a Pro Leash for you.<br /> <br /> - Lines made in Germany: Liros, is a name synonymous with line innovation and workmanship. They pre-stretch all Core lines under heat for lasting performance. Only 1.8mm thick and a breaking strength of 368 kg, the Sensor 3 lines will perform beyond your expectations.<br /> - Spliced Ends: For a better hold, Core splice all their ends before sewing for a more permanent hold. It's a little more work, but this method guarantees higher strength and better aerodynamics.<br /> - Replaceable Bar Inserts: Bar inserts that surround the depower lines lubricate them as they pass through the bar to reduce wear. The inserts are also easily and inexpensively replaced without tools.<br /> - Tectanium Powerlines: The front lines from the "Y" to the chicken loop use an exclusive material; low stretch, Tectanium. And it's protected with a 5.2mm, UV-stabilized, Polyether where it passes through the bar. Techno speak for really durable, self-lubricating, no pinch, depower lines. The virtually frictionless, depower/safety lines are more aerodynamic, provide better feedback, and are more comfortable between the fingers. Just wait till you try it. You'll see.<br /> - Anti-Slip Coating: Special rubber is applied to the bar ends and CIC release to give the surface even more grip when wet.</p> <h3><strong>Sensor 3 Pro Foil & Pro Wake:</strong></h3> <p>In addition to the Pro model, Core is releasing the Sensor 3 Pro Foil and Sensor 3 Pro Wake for hardcore enthusiasts.<br /> <br /> The Sensor 3 Pro Foil features a narrower 45/41.5 centimeter bar and highly specialized, smaller diameter, Tectanium Vario Lite lines optimized for the XLITE foil kite.<br /> <br /> The Sensor 3 Pro Wake features an even narrower 40/36.5 centimeters bar with a larger wakestyle chickenloop.</p> <h3><strong>Additional Details:</strong></h3> <p>- Multibag: The multi-purpose barbag offers protection for your shiny Sensor 3 bar when you're on the road. Accessories, tools, spare parts, line extensions, and optional loops can be stored in the bag's compartments. The mesh insert on the back guarantees proper ventilation. Fold it away or hang it up in a visible spot, so you don't forget it.<br /> <br /> - High Quality Raw Materials: Core use thermoplastics primarily used for the production of precision parts using the injection molding process. The colorless, semi-crystalline polymers are characterized by extreme rigidity, low frictional resistance, and amazing dimensional stability. Titanium is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. This gives titanium the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all known metals. Plus, titanium is impervious to salt. For these reasons, Core have used titanium for the control bar truss, as well as the quick release and bar end grub screws. Marine-grade A4 stainless steel is used for the remaining metal components. The higher proportion of molybdenum minimizes corrosion and delivers years of reliable performance.</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Sensor 3 Rope Slider at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Radical wakestylers, freestylers, and unhooked kiters will prefer Core's largest available chickenloop. Its size makes unhooking and hooking back in easy and intuitive. Naturally, the distance to the trim adjuster increases, so you should keep that in mind.</p> <p>To prevent unintentional unhooking, use the chicken stick and when you don't need it, simply move it outside the loop where it won't get in the way.</p> <h3> </h3>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Sensor 3 Rope Slider at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The Rope Slider loop is Core's recommended solution for wave and foil riders who use a rope harness. Its compact design brings the bar closer to the body and improves lateral movement without annoying harness slippage. To reduce friction and wear on the spreader bar rope, the metal surface of our loop is finely ground by hand.</p> <p>The Rope Slider is only intended for use with a sliding rope spreader bar. The safety ring can be attached in semi-suicide mode, so the leash's carabiner stays at the same level of the quick release and out of the way.</p> <h3> </h3>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core FCS II Accelerator PC Carbon Tri Set Fins available at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The PC Carbon fins are the ultimate choice for your CORE board. Strategically placed carbon fiber filaments give the tips a superior flex pattern and memory. Experienced riders will feel the added control, response, and flow when loading the fins, especially on critical sections of the wave. And aggressive riders will prefer the powerful, explosive style of the slightly oversized allround shape.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core FCS II Accelerator Neo Tri Set Fins available S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>These lightweight, molded fiberglass fins deliver outstanding allround performance for more advanced riders. The higher fiberglass content provides a more responsive platform that excels in overhead waves. Rely on the Accelerator for a consistent feel in all kinds of conditions.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core FCS II Carver GF Tri Set Fins at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The Carver allround fins feature a broad powerband and GF or glass flex construction. The injection molded design delivers powerfully controlled sweeping turns with speed and momentum. The large size handles loads of back foot pressure and rewards power surfers with down-the-line magic.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core Front Centre Pad at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Perfect foot changes every time. The pad’s EVA Diamond grooves stick to your feet no-matter-what because its pattern is milled, yes milled. Instead of thermoforming a pad which results in inferior rounded profile edges, we machine ours into a remarkable no-slip pad. And it feels great under bare feet and booties too.<br /> <br /> The 3-piece, self-stick center set comes in two designs. One fits the 720. And the other fits the Ripper 3 or Green Room (including recesses for the straps). When you’re tired of waxing, try the CORE Front Traction Pad. You’ll be glad you did.</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core Surf Straps at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>There if you need ‘em. The CORE Strap set features two super comfortable Velcro straps, four V2A stainless steel screws, and four V2A anti-twist plates with variable screw positions. Core's fully adjustable straps feel great in bare feet or booties with just the right amount of support. Need a little confidence on those big waves?</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core Pro Leash 3 with S2AS!</strong></h2><p>A freestyle or wakestyle rider looking for a leash that you can count on? The Core Pro Leash 3 has a generous protective neoprene sleeve over the caribener which prevents any unintentional releasing, is slightly longer in length so that when passing the bar your leash doesn't catch up at any point, meaning you can concentrate on the trick you are pulling. The harness connection boasts a smooth new swivel which means you don't have to worry about your leash coiling up after every rotation.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core 720 Kite Surfboard with S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>With the surge of strapless freestyle within kitesurifng right now, The Core 720 is the board that will take you to a new level.The newest board in the surf line up the 720 brings a whole new level of style to just about any beach break.<br /> <br /> With it’s short,compact, blunt nose shape the 720 glues itself to your feel even when exploding huge airs. Not only does the 720 have the design features to take you to the next level of strapless freestyle, it has the construction to back it up. The closed cell PU or plyurethane foam blanks are the only choices for a custom board. The PU can be precisely shaped with a CNC milling machine and is water resistant too, giving the board the bombproof construction it needs when taking impact after impact from strapless freestyle.<br /> <br /> Coming in smaller sizes than a conventional surfboard, the flatter rocker and more parallel shape planes faster than the Ripper 4, so it has plenty of drive through the water to give you the speed to load this weapon up!</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p>- Active Foam Core: Core only use the best closed cell PU foam that prevents waterlogging even when punctured and allows the board to be precisely shaped for superior flex<br /> - Classic Glass Coat: Multi-layer fiberglass and resin process delivers precisely tuned rails, a classic surf feel and a softer less flexible ride with less bounce<br /> - Ultra Compact Shape: A lower mass and swing weight for stylish aerials and rotations<br /> - Flat Rocker: The flattest rocker of all the Core diorectional kiteboards, the 720 might be slow to start but once its going it is even faster than the Ripper! A heavy dose of rocker in the nose also makes it ideal for toeside riding and big steep waves<br /> - 3D Hull: A double concave hull that cuts through chop and holds its grip. Nose channels have been added for those fakie riders aswell<br /> - Round Winger Tail: Improves the water release on take-off<br /> - Wood Stringer: A wood stringer is inlaid vertically along the full length of the board to manage flex, it is then laminated to the fiberglass skin for a durable deck and Core pro surf feel<br /> - Thruster Fin Setup: The Ripper continues with the classic three fin thruster setup for a looser feel. Thrusters are well known to turn tighter than quads and release easier for cleaner moves off the lip.<br /> - Original FCS II Fin Setup: Core carries over the Original FCS II fin box system on the Ripper 3. FCS II is the keyless fin system that enables 2-second fin changes without tools. It’s wise to stick with the global standard in fin boxes for the day you lose a fin on your favourite reef. Because it’s backward compatible (in that it still retains grub screws to secure any old FCS fin you or your friends may have), you will be back on the water in no time.</p> <h3><strong>Sizes:</strong></h3> <p>- 4'11"x17 5/8"x1 7/8" (21L)<br /> - 5'1"x18 1/8"x2" (22L)<br /> - 5'3"x18 3/8"x2 1/16" (23L)</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core Green Room Kite Surfboard with S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Are big waves your thing? The draw of pulling into that overhead drop is beaten by nothing else, apart from knowing that the board under your feet is going to make that steep drop is comfortable and acheiveable as possible!<br /> <br /> The Green Room from Core has a polyurethane foam and glass construction which allows for a precise and fine tuned rails and rocker for exceptional speed and agility. The Green Room is noticeably narrower and less in volume than the other boards in the Core range and features a rounded pin tail which is designed specifically to offer less lift. This means as the board gathers speed down the face of the wave it is'nt trying to lift up and away from the water, but drive in hard on it's rail.<br /> <br /> This is a kite surfboard that isn't aimed at the all rounder, this is a big wave machine that will take advanced wave riders to the next level, and you will quickly find yourself on top of a product that can take you into the most challenging conditions in comfort.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p>- Active Foam Core: Core only use the best closed cell PU foam that prevents waterlogging even when punctured and allows the board to be precisely shaped for superior flex<br /> - Classic Glass Coat: Multi-layer fiberglass and resin process delivers precisely tuned rails, a classic surf feel and a softer less flexible ride with less bounce<br /> - Round Pin Tail: Offers maximum traction and control at speed due to it riding deeper. The pronouced tail kick promotes carving controlla dn also reduces pearling<br /> - Big Wave Outline: With less volume and width, the Green Room tames big waves with confidence and inspring high speed bottom turns, excellent acceleration and grip on the wavefront<br /> - 3D Hull: A light single concave hull that transitions into a Vee towards the tail, ideal for tight controlled bottom turns on big waves<br /> - Double Stringer: A laminated wood stringer is inlaid along the full length of the board to manage longitudinal flex and give the Ripper its signature feel, a second wood stringer is then laid horizontally to accept strap inserts<br /> - Tucked Under Rails: The hand shaped rails feature a new thinner, sharper, “tucked under” rail design that releases water better yet maintains the classic smooth and forgiving ride you’d expect from a glass board. The central 60/40 tucked under rail transitions seamlessly into a hard tail rail to provide greater maneuverability.<br /> - Single Concave: Improves lift and adds grip to the turns<br /> - Strap Ready: Fitted with V4A inserts to recieve optional Core straps in your favourite stance position<br /> - Blunt Nose: Core file it off because, in the long run, our trademark blunt nose is safer, more durable, and just plain cool. The Ripper fits in board bags better, travels better and, hopefully, won’t leave a mark. <br /> - Thruster Fin Setup: The Ripper continues with the classic three fin thruster setup for a looser feel. Thrusters are well known to turn tighter than quads and release easier for cleaner moves off the lip.<br /> - Original FCS II Fin Setup: Core carries over the Original FCS II fin box system on the Ripper 3. FCS II is the keyless fin system that enables 2-second fin changes without tools. It’s wise to stick with the global standard in fin boxes for the day you lose a fin on your favourite reef. Because it’s backward compatible (in that it still retains grub screws to secure any old FCS fin you or your friends may have), you will be back on the water in no time.</p> <h3><strong>Dimensions:</strong></h3> <p>- 5'10"x17 3/8"x2 1/4" (23.5L)<br /> - 6'0"x17 5/8"x2 5/16" (25L)</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the Core Section 3 Kitesurfing Kite with S2AS!</strong></h2><p>Are you looking for a kite that has a setting for each wind direction whilst wave riding? A kite that will stand up to the harshest pounding in the waves? A kite that drifts like no other, meaning you can easily make that next section smack! The Section 3 from Core has it all! The new CIT Modes means that you can calibrate your kite to the conditions. Three, anti snag bridle attachment points makes it easy to adjust your kite for onshore, allround and offshore conditions. The onshore making the kite sit a little depper in the window, giving it more frunt and better drift, and the offshore setting enables the kite to sit further forward in the window, giving higher depower and faster forward speed. The allround setting gives a good miuxture of both the onshore & offshore setting.<br/><br/>With the new and improved short bridle system, it keeps your bridle short but sweet! The shorter bridle gives good feedback through the bar so you know exactly where your kite is in the sky. Pivot turning from the wingtip results in a super smooth loops regardless of size, so you really can charger that line and catch the next section!<br/>Shifting the maxiumum camber of the kite further back in the canopy, meaning that it is much flatter improves the drift of the kite, but pull in on that bar and there is instant feedback through your hands!<br/><br/>As well as second to none flying characteristics with the Core Section 3 Kitesurfing Kite, it is backed up by it's bombproof construction, with a CoreTex Triple Ripstop Canopy and the ExoTex Ultra Rigid Dacron you can be confident that even with the worst wipeout, your kite will survive and you'll be ready to go again!</p><h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3><p>- Short Bridle System: A kite that responds to the riders control impulses in a flash, resulting in perfectly linear depower, extremely dynamic flight and turning characteristics<br/>- Future C-Shape: True C-kite feel.

<h2><strong>Now available the Core GTS6 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Never owned a core kite? Ha, you're in for a treat, Everything you hear about Core is very true the brand's strength and attention to detail is unrivalled in the kitesurfing industry, other kitesurf brands with freestyle kites cannot touch the pure power, class, and ease of use of the Core GTS series. If you already have a GTS5 or any other Core Kite then you will already know that Core does not just change kites each year with a different colour like 90% of other kitesurfing companies, oh no! Each Core kite has a 2-year lifespan at least and a full 6-year replacement part guaranteed to be available.</p> <p>What Core says:</p> <p>"If you’re looking for a kite that unleashes indomitable megaloops on demand, or if you’re seeking a composed and well-mannered freeride kitesurfing kite for unpredictable winds, the Core GTS6 is both. This is a supremely multi-talented kite without rival!</p> <p>So you're addicted to life in the fast lane but in a good way. And when you go, you go big! We feel the same, riding our newest GTS. Feel alive thanks to the signature Future-C powered kite loops and unhooked confidence that this kite offers. Core’s winning-est kite now features redesigned ExoTex Light struts that are noticeably lighter and still robust as ever. The struts’ new shape, material, and diameter provide added canopy stability and a little more punch in the turns.</p> <p>2019 was another fantastic year for the GTS. Following up on Josh Emanuel’s win in 2017, another Core rider squeaked through the first round and looped his 8m GTS5 to gold in Red Bull’s Megaloop Challenge. Although Core doesn’t expect its GTS customers to be signing up for next year’s Megaloop competition, we think they could with this new GTS6 and a little bit of practice.</p> <p>“It’s a real challenge to improve something as good as the GTS,” comments chief kite designer, Frank Ilfrich. “But improving kite construction is something we’re good at.” With input from our top team riders, CORE’s designers have squeezed a little more control and power into the loops.</p> <p>The indomitable GTS5 is built with precision steering; a prodigious operating range; and CORE's legendary linear power. Its fully adjustable handling lets riders throw the tightest loops (in waves) and the biggest Cape Town style mega loops in total control.</p> <p>The GTS6 carries over its proven 3 Strut Frame, Radical Reaction Tips, and Short Bridles from the fantastic GTS5. Core have optimized the leading edge diameters and tip geometry to improve flight stability (especially when looping.) Also, the CIT Modes now feature no-snag loops. which still customize the GTS' handling characteristics. In Wave mode, riders dial in compact turns and more depower. Whereas in Freestyle mode, the kite adds more grunt and bigger turns.</p> <p>Everything you love about the GTS5 is still in the new GTS6, 3 Strut Frame, Radical Reaction Tips, and Short Bridles and Future-C canopy, still forms the nucleus of the GTS. The design team beefed up the leading edge. And they made significant improvements to the struts. The new larger diameter ExoTex Light struts resist bending, save weight, and lend a sportier, punchier feel in the loops.</p> <p>Do you enjoy a proper yank from a legit looping machine? Are you experimenting with megaloop board-offs? Do your surfboard aerials rival your twintip tricks? If you answered yes to these, then get in touch with S2AS to get your hands on a brand new XR6!</p> <p>Give it all you got, the GTS6 will take you to infinity and beyond! </p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Exotex Light Struts: </strong>Larger diameter struts are lighter & more rigid.</p> <p><strong>Future C-Shape:</strong> True C-kite feel.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Core XR6 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>This kite has had a professional repair near the centre strut as can be seen in the photo. this repair goes from the leading to the trailing edge. there is also a small patch the other side of the strut, also pictured. apart from this the kite is in excellent condition. and still has loads of life left in it. </strong></p> <p><strong>High Performance Freeride+ | Freestyle | Wave</strong></p> <p>The latest innovations from industry-leading brand Core are put together in their brand new kitesurfing kite the XR6! Part of Core's Universal+ Series the XR6 has a unique design that allows it to perform in all conditions and disciplines. Carrying across the incredible power and unbelievable wind range of the previous freeride machine the XR5 the XR6 receives some impressive handling upgrades and weight reductions!</p> <p>With over fourteen years of development and many hundreds of prototypes tested in order to develop the XR6's signature ride, this kite is an astounding feat of engineering. Core will never realise a new version of a kite until they are absolutely certain that they have made the considerable improvements necessary to warrant replacing one of their kites, hence why there is often over 2 years between releases which also ensures that any Core kitesurfing kite will also hold a greater monetary value!</p> <p>Moreover, Frank Ilfrich, Core's head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that made the XR series what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The XR's linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings.</p> <p>After six generations, they've dialled in the characteristics Like prodigious power. Unbelievable depower. And precise control on the water and in the air. With the same tread depth in the centre as the XR5, but slightly flatter on the outside. For this purpose, the Bridle connection points and Strut geometry have been revised, small but crucial adjustments allow for even more control in high end, higher airspeed and better upwind capabilities, more pop and faster spin!</p> <p>The XR6 continues with Core's highly successful 5-strut, Delta Bow shape that isn't just a fan favourite; it also breaks records. Earlier this year, both Maarten Haeger und Ross-Dillon Player busted through the 30m barrier on their XR's. A feat that was previously considered impossible.</p> <p>Core's proven fabrics – CoreTex and ExoTex – are exclusively used on the canopy and leading edge. Lead designer, Frank Ilfrich, went over every small detail and found weight savings in the leading edge, extra speed in the canopy, and efficiency improvements to our Speed Pump System. Frank and his team modified the strut curves to extract more stability especially when powered. The additional strut rigidity (and low-end grunt) required a small adjustment to the CIT bridle points to add a little more power steering. </p> <p>Lastly, it is always important to remember that Core holds stock of all spare parts for an industry-leading six years so that if the worst might ever happen to your new XR6 Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out!</p> <p>Now, it's your turn to break some personal bests with the new XR6.</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Delta Bow Shape: </strong>The XR6 curves with its concave trailling edge into a clasic bow shape, with swept tips show genes of the Delta shape. This creates a greater depower and full power for better boosting, upwindabilty and earlier planing. Further improvements have allowed for even more pop and higher airspeeds.</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>Utilising this new refined and even stiffer strut geometry, means an ultra stable frame resulting significantly less deformation and more power on demand</p> <p><strong>Faster Turning Speed: </strong>Now even more agile and responsive, due to finetuning in the bridle points along with rebalanced stiffness produce more steering confidence than ever before</p> <p><strong>CIT Modes: </strong>Fully adjustable kite handling characteristics. Wave mode makes the kite turn faster and increases depower, whilst Freestyle increases the trun radius and stabilizes the kite and adds a little extra grunt. The XR6 comes in the All-Round mode combining the best of both options with its well balanced trim. Experience optimum turning pleasure and and variable steering forces</p> <p><strong>Exotex® Ultra Rigid Dacron: </strong>Zero stretch airframe that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter. And thanks to the new unique vertical thread system and special coating system, the Leading Edge and all Struts of the XR6 and constructed outstandingly thinly, that is remarkably stiff and sturdy for a kite the runs high, turns defined, lifts explosively and always feels crisp and direct</p> <p><strong>Coretex® Triple Ripstop Canopy:</strong> Extreme durability and UV protection setting the benchmark for longevity, tear resistance and breaking load whilst remaining significantly lighter than some over brands</p> <p><strong>Intelligent Arc: </strong>Designed to anticipate your desires in the air, by changing the projected area more up to more than 10%, pull on the bar and the kite spreads out its tips like wings, push it away and the kite pulls back in. Allowing the XR6 to seamlessly transition from big air boosting machine to precision turning instrument</p> <p><strong>Short Bridle System: </strong>Allows the XR6 to respond to the riders control impulses in a flash, resulting in perfectly linear depower, extremely dynamic flight and turning characteristics</p> <p><strong>Grintex® Patches: </strong>Unbelievably abrasion resistant patches on every segment seam of the leading edge and struts result in a much more durable kite design, meaning fewer worries in less than ideal landing spots</p> <p><strong>Speed Valve 2: </strong>The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Sensor 3/3+ Kitesurfing Bar and Lines at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>No gimmicks. No unnecessary features. The new Core Sensor 3's elemental design delivers superlative feel and comfort when kitesurfing!<br /> <br /> Core Kiteboarding have perfected the art of controlling a kite with their new Sensor 3 bar and lines utilising ergonomic bar ends, one-click width adjustment, hidden winders, and easy-in CIC Quick Release. The Sensor 3 is a unique bar system built for today's high-performance kites.<br /> <br /> Experience high-tech wizardry brought to you by Core's R&D team, providing the most direct kite feeling ever, Rick Jensen, Core's Sensor 3 product developer says "Our uncommonly clean bar and bar ends further improve the Sensor 3's ergonomics and haptics". New Stealth Winders revolutionise bar design, unique flight and storage features, after unwinding the bar, the Stealth Winders fold in and disappear into the bar ends. "Useable, soft grip extends to the bar ends to give you more<br /> real estate," explains Rick.<br /> <br /> The new EVA grip with an optimized profile guarantees non-slip action. And its improved color scheme and red line let riders know when the bar is reversed. "Our easy-in CIC Quick Release needs extremely low release forces and resets with a click." Philip Schinnagel, Core's CEO, comments acting much in the same way a seatbelt clicks back into a buckle, offering one less concern the kiter whilst flying their kite. Core is united with the Global Kitesports Association (GKA) to make this sport as safe as possible, so "it's logical for us to unify the triggering direction, too." explains Philip.</p> <p>Included with the Sensor 3+ bar are four line length options allowing the rider to easily maximize their kite’s performance. By replacing the standard 24m lines with Core's Vario lines, Liros sourced,18m lines with a 2m and 4m extension. As a result, the Sensor 3+ can be outfitted with 18, 20, 22 or 24m lines. Go short in the waves. Or longer in your next race. Without buying more bars.<br /> <br /> Sensor 3+. Save money. Experiment. And have more fun.<br /> <br /> Proven Core features such as its titanium-reinforced bar, Supported Single Frontline Safety, 4:1 adjuster, and Auto Untwist function are naturally carried over from the fantastic Sensor 2 kitesurfing bar and lines.<br /> <br /> Experience new possibilties with unrivalled feedback, connect and control!</p> <h3><strong>Features: </strong></h3> <p>- Titanium Core: The integrated titanium truss ensures Core's twin auto-untwist center lines that pass through the center of the bar do not affect the bombproof rigidity of the Sensor 3 bar. It might be overkill, but we prefer it that way. And if the center lines wear out the bar guide, replace it with a fresh one.<br /> - Stealth Winders: No divots, sharp corners, or hard protruding ends on this bar. The clean, minimalistic and soft bar ends don't just look fantastic but are super grippable. After your fun sesh, the bar ends fold open to reveal hidden line winders.<br /> - Griploc: Optimized bar texture for best grip. The narrow, non-slip asymmetric grip is easy on the hands (even for marathon sessions). Contrasting colors provide improved left/right visual guidance. And a thin redline on the underside lets you know if the bar is reversed.<br /> - Live Wire: Super direct bar response and EZ bar width adjustment.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Sensor 3 Kitesurfing Bar and Lines at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>No gimmicks. No unnecessary features. The new Core Sensor 3's elemental design delivers superlative feel and comfort when kitesurfing!<br /> <br /> Core Kiteboarding have perfected the art of controlling a kite with their new Sensor 3 bar and lines utilising ergonomic bar ends, one-click width adjustment, hidden winders, and easy-in CIC Quick Release. The Sensor 3 is a unique bar system built for today's high-performance kites.<br /> <br /> Experience high-tech wizardry brought to you by Core's R&D team, providing the most direct kite feeling ever, Rick Jensen, Core's Sensor 3<br /> product developer says "Our uncommonly clean bar and bar ends further improve the Sensor 3's ergonomics and haptics". New Stealth Winders revolutionise bar design, unique flight and storage features, after unwinding the bar, the Stealth Winders fold in and disappear into the bar ends. "Useable, soft grip extends to the bar ends to give you more<br /> real estate," explains Rick.<br /> <br /> The new EVA grip with an optimized profile guarantees non-slip action. And its improved color scheme and red line let riders know when the bar is reversed. "Our easy-in CIC Quick Release needs extremely low release forces and resets with a click." Philip Schinnagel, Core's CEO, comments acting much in the same way a seatbelt clicks back into a buckle, offering one less concern the kiter whilst flying their kite. Core is united with the Global Kitesports Association (GKA) to make this sport as safe as possible, so "it's logical for us to unify the triggering direction, too." explains Philip.<br /> <br /> Proven Core features such as its titanium-reinforced bar, Supported Single Frontline Safety, 4:1 adjuster, and Auto Untwist function are naturally carried over from the fantastic Sensor 2 kitesurfing bar and lines.<br /> <br /> Experience new possibilties with unrivalled feedback, connect and control!</p> <h3><strong>Features: </strong></h3> <p>- Titanium Core: The integrated titanium truss ensures Core's twin auto-untwist center lines that pass through the center of the bar do not affect the bombproof rigidity of the Sensor 3 bar. It might be overkill, but we prefer it that way. And if the center lines wear out the bar guide, replace it with a fresh one.<br /> - Stealth Winders: No divots, sharp corners, or hard protruding ends on this bar. The clean, minimalistic and soft bar ends don't just look fantastic but are super grippable. After your fun sesh, the bar ends fold open to reveal hidden line winders.<br /> - Griploc: Optimized bar texture for best grip. The narrow, non-slip asymmetric grip is easy on the hands (even for marathon sessions). Contrasting colors provide improved left/right visual guidance. And a thin redline on the underside lets you know if the bar is reversed.<br /> - Live Wire: Super direct bar response and EZ bar width adjustment.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Union Pro 3 Pads and Straps at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The orthotic EVA footpads with its “toe grabber” 3D surface will hold your feet securely even on those off balance landings.</p> <p>You can adjust the angle of your feet 11 different ways to lock in your preferred stance and move your pad closer or further away from the board edge. The strap also sports 2cm of pad adjustability fore and aft to accommodate all foot sizes. </p> <p>Now with an articulating split strap and ridiculous customization options. Having split the strap to give independent form-fitting adjustability to your forefoot and midfoot. Each half of the split straps is independently micro-adjustable with its own set of velcros.</p> <p>The double velcro Union Pro 3 also features subtle changes to materials and design. Core have improved the footbed shape and densities to prevent foot slippage and increase comfort. The pad ridges encourage feet to slip in and stay put. </p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Fusion 4 LW Kitesurfing Board at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A do-everything kiteboard that takes the difficulty out of deciding which board would be best for the conditions! Fancy riding strapped in freestyle? The Fusion 4's Multi-channels ensure incredible grip! Or maybe you want to do some wave riding? No problem thanks to the deep Vee Rockerline!</p> <p>Since a greater planing surface displaces more water together with the lower speeds achieved in lighter winds; the bottom concave, channel and ‘V’ were reduced by a millimetre. This modification minimizes the water resistance together with the combination of outline and bottom contour, adequate grip to deal with gusts.</p> <p>The 147 x 44 cm wide Fusion combines the advantages of a light wind board with those of a thoroughbred twintip. Even if the wind picks up, rotations, and also unhooked tricks are effortlessly achieved. The ‘Diamond 3D Shape’ and the resulting low board thickness allows for thin rails that cut through the water, but thanks to the ‘V’, which acts like an air cushion, the rails won’t get bogged down.</p> <p>With 152 x 46 cm board, the largest in the Fusion line, the CORE development team opted for a concave outline. The pronounced waist makes the bottom sit a bit deeper in the water, resulting in the edge being more effectively utilized when riding upwind. The resulting edge width from this shape is a crucial factor in the unprecedented planning and glide ability. The concave in the sophisticated bottom contour controls the width when the wind picks up.</p> <p>Core have developed a real cross-ride board that covers all aspects of kitesurfing without compromising on any of them. The Fusion 4 (IV) is ideal for all-levels of riders and will develop your riding as you continue to improve.</p> <p>The Fusion 4 (IV) was constructed in the most elaborate way for a series construction board - by using only the finest materials. The board is made of 100% CARTAN® high-performance carbon; each layer is made of pure carbon fibre. This guarantees minimum weight and optimum flex properties.</p> <p>The complex bottom with double concave and ‘V’ provides more drive and direction, when needed, and is responsible for the unique riding experience.</p> <p>It goes through choppy water as if there was a cushion of air under the board. Core call this a Hydrodynamic Bottom Contour. The core wood was milled in a special Diamond 3D Shape CNC. This ensures the harmonious development of flex together with torsional rigidity. The new high-performance fins, provide the Fusion with the maximum amount of directional stability whilst maintaining high levels of agility.</p> <h3><strong>Technologies:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Cartan Carbon ­– Core's Exclusive Hi-Performance Carbon Fibre: </strong>Each layer of the laminate structure is made of carbon fibre. CARTAN® high-performance carbon was specifically and exclusively designed for CORE and CARVED. In contrast to conventional carbon fibres the CARTAN® carbon fibre weave holds the fibres in a performance maximizing 30 degree angle. The result is huge flex properties making take offs both simple and effective.</p> <p>The exclusive use of CARTAN® high-performance carbon allows Core to significantly reduce the thickness of all Fusions, resulting in thin, slightly burred edge allows for precise jumps and relaxed carving.</p> <p><strong>Complex Diamond 3D Shape:</strong> Complex diamond-shaped cut-outs have been milled into the underlying wood core. This extra CORE effort is not without reason; on the one hand the complex surface structure reduces the weight, on the other hand, the resultant and intelligently arranged crosses increase the torsional rigidity of all Fusion boards. Together with the ultra-thin outside edges, the ‘Diamond 3D Shape’ provides the perfect combination of flex and stiffness - two technically disparate elements that only the world's best shapers can combine successfully.</p> <p><strong>Hydrodynamic Bottom Contour:</strong> Fusion Core boards have a hydro-dynamically shaped bottom contour. The most distinguishing feature is the central full length ‘V’ double concave that creates lift with laminar flow; the Fusion goes through choppy water as if there was a cushion of air under the board. The interaction of the concave and the ‘V’ allow greater board width, and thus early planning, without compromising on control.</p> <p>The entire board can be edged at a steeper angle, which enables effective upwind ability and provides the best edging for jumps. In addition it enables increased smoothness and agility, for example, whilst switching from heel to toe side edge.</p> <p><strong>Vario Rails – Precise Flex and Unreal Energy: </strong>A new variable rail thickness. 9mm thick rails around the middle of the board reduce to 3mm on the tips, this allows the rider to precisely control the flex through the whole length of the board</p> <p><strong>3D Paulownia Wood Core: </strong>The laminated, long-grained wood core gives Core's boards dimensional stability, decay resistance, and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. They extended the Paulownia further towards the board edges and now CNC mill both top and bottom. The larger wood core reduces board weight and improves flex memory. </p> <p><strong>Vee Rocker - more rocker underfoot and less rocker towards tips: </strong>More pronounced under your feet and progressively reduces towards the tips. This knowhow borrows from the Imperator 6 - Carved Custom’s latest masterpiece.</p> <p><strong>Varial Bottom Curve with Channels:</strong> Channels are again used on the edge ends. These partial indents allow the realisation of two different rocker lines. If the rider edges hard the steeper inside curve is engaged and control and grip are increased. If the board is planning the flatter bottom curve is engaged which enhances the ability to glide through wind lulls.</p> <p>Core have consciously not included any full length channels on the Fusion as the drift of the kite means that we never travel in an absolute line and the channels would simply cause unnecessary resistance.</p> <p><strong>Progressive 2-Channel Tips: </strong>The new tip profile produces super clean carving characteristics and powerfully controlled take-offs. The outside edge runs longer and straighter to a bevelled corner. The channels engage during power edging effectively increasing lateral resistance for more control. And when not engaged, the board glides effortlessly through the lulls.</p> <p><strong>Core G-10 Cutback Fins:</strong> A perfect balance between tracking and freestyling magic. The impact-resistant, 48mm G10 fibreglass fins have a new trailing edge design for even more control and tracking stability.</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core XLITE Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong><em>A completely new product from Core Kites developed specifically for the specialized discipline of foiling!</em></strong></p> <p>Never a company to release a new kite without having fully developed and fine-tuned every aspect to ensure it fulfils all the desired characteristics, Core Kites have once again achieved something special. Designed specifically for Core's Specialized Series; banner a unique line of products designed to fulfil a sole purpose and with the Xlite kite, that purpose is to be a truly outstanding, no compromise one strut inflatable kite with features specific to the unique discipline of foiling!</p> <p>One of the defining attributes of foiling is the ability to go kiting in conditions that would be unavailable to a traditional twintip or wave kiteboard, and in order to achieve this, a specialized kite is required, enter the Xlite! Originating as a hybrid of two specific Core kites; the Section and the Nexus, by utilising the phenomenal wave properties of the Section with the power of the Nexus in super light winds! The Xlite is a kite that can be both sized down and with an increased canopy aspect ratio to ensure that the kite stays ahead of the foil.</p> <p>In order, to achieve these incredible properties the Xlite went through a comprehensive lightweighting program in order to shed an incredible 10% in weight, for a kite that allows riders to still foil in 8-10 knots! To achieve this incredible weight reduction Core experimented with new leading edge materials and bridles until they were completely satisfied, settling with the CoreTex canopy for added support and power to the one strut design, ExoTex Light leading edge for a strong dacron material that is 10% lighter and lastly a thinner, anti-snag bridle that further reduces weight and improves water relaunching. </p> <p>With perfect kite balance and super direct bar feel, the Xlite makes learning new moves a blast!</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Future C-Shape:</strong> True C-kite feel. For snappy turns with a controlled and consistent pull.</p> <p><strong>CIT Modes:</strong> Fully adjustable kite handling characteristics. Wave mode makes the kite turn faster and increases depower, whilst Freestyle increases the trun radius and stabilizes the kite and adds a little extra grunt. The Nexus comes out of bag in the Allround mode that sits nicely between the two</p> <p><strong>One Strut Light Frame: </strong>Deliverying vastly superior lightwind control versus strutless canopy due to reduced canopy flutter, along with offering greater water relaunching capabilites ideal for thise light wind conditions</p> <p><strong>Exotex® Light Ultra Rigid Dacron: </strong>Zero stretch airframe utilising a radical reinforcing thread pattern and protective coating process that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter</p> <p><strong>Coretex® Triple Ripstop Canopy:</strong> Extreme durability and UV protection setting the benchmark for longevity and tear resistance</p> <p><strong>LW Profile:</strong> Generating power and speed with a shifted back camber for improved drifting.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Nexus 2 Kitesurfing Kite (White) at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Gone are the days of travelling to the beach with heaps of gear — a quiver of wave kites, a quiver of freestyle kites and a separate set of kites for boosting. Prepare to meet the Nexus 2 with the new Core ExoTex Light struts. An athletic kite that is never too cool to learn a new trick whether on a strapless surfboard or your dependable twintip, the Nexus 2 brings incredible versatility to wave and freestyle riding. The secret behind the Core Nexus 2’s versatility is due to its highly refined three strut Future-C shape and proprietary materials that combines the proven surf profile of the Section with the kiteloop pedigree of the GTS.</p> <p>The Nexus 2, is technically billed as two kites in one, but we found at least three things it’s really good at. Just set the kite’s CIT Modes to match the beach conditions and go have fun. Be it hard cutbacks on your favourite wave or a sublime backroll, the Nexus 2 will excite your senses.</p> <p>Certainly, it’s great in waves, with more lift than a Section so it boosts better as well, but the slackline control is still there in spades and you can mess with the settings. One way for Surf, the other for freestyle on which settings if you’ve been trying that handles trick and not nailing it then chances are you will with the Nexus, it’s a lot more forgiving, less punch in the face than say the GTS.</p> <p>Then in the middle settings, it’s just a great freeride kite, what makes it good at waves and freestyle also means it excels for intermediates wishing to just go ride, or push their individual envelopes. It’s not an XR5 so if you don’t know how to jump, pick your kicker, load and release it’s not going to take you to the moon like the XR5 will, but if you do know all that good stuff then it’ll do it better as the guys found out in Cape Verde where they broke the island height record using it.</p> <p>Then there’s foiling, lots of folks have spotted that what makes kites good in waves also makes them good on a foil, but there’s a little bonus with the Nexus particularly when your foil taking upwind, it’s extra lift in the vertical just gives you that extra through the tack, try one you’ll see what we mean. </p> <p>So there you have it what’s that? did we say three kites in one? Well maybe make that four.. and friendlier than the fire from a US AirForce Warthog.</p> <p>Nexus 2, always prepared!</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Future C-Shape:</strong> True C-kite feel.

Core will never realise a new version of a kite until they are absolutely certain that they have made the considerable improvements necessary to warrant replacing one of their kites, hence why there is often over 2 years between releases which also ensures that any Core kitesurfing kite will also hold a greater monetary value!</p> <p>Moreover, Frank Ilfrich, Core's head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that made the XR series what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The XR's linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings.</p> <p>After six generations, they've dialled in the characteristics Like prodigious power. Unbelievable depower. And precise control on the water and in the air. With the same tread depth in the centre as the XR5, but slightly flatter on the outside. For this purpose, the Bridle connection points and Strut geometry have been revised, small but crucial adjustments allow for even more control in high end, higher airspeed and better upwind capabilities, more pop and faster spin!</p> <p>The XR6 continues with Core's highly successful 5-strut, Delta Bow shape that isn't just a fan favourite; it also breaks records. Earlier this year, both Maarten Haeger und Ross-Dillon Player busted through the 30m barrier on their XR's. A feat that was previously considered impossible.</p> <p>Core's proven fabrics – CoreTex and ExoTex – are exclusively used on the canopy and leading edge. Lead designer, Frank Ilfrich, went over every small detail and found weight savings in the leading edge, extra speed in the canopy, and efficiency improvements to our Speed Pump System. Frank and his team modified the strut curves to extract more stability especially when powered. The additional strut rigidity (and low-end grunt) required a small adjustment to the CIT bridle points to add a little more power steering. </p> <p>Lastly, it is always important to remember that Core holds stock of all spare parts for an industry-leading six years so that if the worst might ever happen to your new XR6 Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out!</p> <p>Now, it's your turn to break some personal bests with the new XR6.</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Delta Bow Shape: </strong>The XR6 curves with its concave trailling edge into a clasic bow shape, with swept tips show genes of the Delta shape. This creates a greater depower and full power for better boosting, upwindabilty and earlier planing. Further improvements have allowed for even more pop and higher airspeeds.</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>Utilising this new refined and even stiffer strut geometry, means an ultra stable frame resulting significantly less deformation and more power on demand</p> <p><strong>Faster Turning Speed: </strong>Now even more agile and responsive, due to finetuning in the bridle points along with rebalanced stiffness produce more steering confidence than ever before</p> <p><strong>CIT Modes: </strong>Fully adjustable kite handling characteristics. Wave mode makes the kite turn faster and increases depower, whilst Freestyle increases the trun radius and stabilizes the kite and adds a little extra grunt. The XR6 comes in the All-Round mode combining the best of both options with its well balanced trim. Experience optimum turning pleasure and and variable steering forces</p> <p><strong>Exotex® Ultra Rigid Dacron: </strong>Zero stretch airframe that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter. And thanks to the new unique vertical thread system and special coating system, the Leading Edge and all Struts of the XR6 and constructed outstandingly thinly, that is remarkably stiff and sturdy for a kite the runs high, turns defined, lifts explosively and always feels crisp and direct</p> <p><strong>Coretex® Triple Ripstop Canopy:</strong> Extreme durability and UV protection setting the benchmark for longevity, tear resistance and breaking load whilst remaining significantly lighter than some over brands</p> <p><strong>Intelligent Arc: </strong>Designed to anticipate your desires in the air, by changing the projected area more up to more than 10%, pull on the bar and the kite spreads out its tips like wings, push it away and the kite pulls back in. Allowing the XR6 to seamlessly transition from big air boosting machine to precision turning instrument</p> <p><strong>Short Bridle System: </strong>Allows the XR6 to respond to the riders control impulses in a flash, resulting in perfectly linear depower, extremely dynamic flight and turning characteristics</p> <p><strong>Grintex® Patches: </strong>Unbelievably abrasion resistant patches on every segment seam of the leading edge and struts result in a much more durable kite design, meaning fewer worries in less than ideal landing spots</p> <p><strong>Speed Valve 2: </strong>The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose. The Speed Valve 2 maximizes airflow, minimizes inflation times and noticeably reduces pump pressure. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even have the energy for an extra trick or two.</p> <p><strong>Speed Pump System: </strong>Fully pumped in no time. Huge air hoses and strut valves allow uninhibited air flow. And when you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts :)</p> <p><strong>Sensor Bar Ready:</strong> For maximum kite feedback and control pair this kite with a Sensor 2 or 2S bar.</p> <p><strong>6 Year Parts Availability: </strong>Core's Industry leading durability is backed by a 6-year replacement parts guarantee</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core Kite Pump 2.0 at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The CORE Pump 2.0 is re-invented!

Internal pump friction is virtually eliminated and Core's “Sand Guard” air filter prevents internal kite damage from sand inhalation. Although Core kites do not need an adapter, they've included one anyways for those “other” kites.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Innovative materials, seals and piston coatings have virtually created a frictionless pump</li> <li>Increased hose diameter outlet to improves airflow and reduces pump strain</li> <li>Sand Guard a foam air inlet filter into the handle</li> <li>Single to Double stroke inflation switch</li> <li>Digitally calibrated pressure gauge</li> <li>Longer barrel and longer stroke for greater air volume</li> <li>Ergonomic grips</li> <li>Heavy duty pump tether with a nifty hook</li> </ul>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the brand new Core Bolt 3 Wakestyle Kiteboard at S2AS!</strong></h2> <h3><em>"WoooHooo!" </em> We're so excited Core have released their 3rd generation of freestyle boards!</h3> <p>The third generation Bolt, Core's adamantine wakestyler, is built for a long life of sliding and grinding. The top and bottom receive two extra sheets (laminations) of their exclusive high-performance Cartan carbon fiber. In total, four additional carbon laminations give this wakestyle rockstar the necessary rigidity and durability for long-term performance. The low friction, high modulus polyethylene base slides effortlessly over most surfaces. And is easily repairable with a PTEX candle. </p> <p>"Slider and rail approved."</p> <p><br /> Core have also added more channels to improve traction and speed especially when riding finless. The deep vee keel is missing between the boots to flatten the sliding area. All the channels are also beveled and countersunk to prevent them from catching an edge while grinding.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Two Layer Cartan® Carbon</strong>: Cable park strong. Two layers of high performance, low resin, 30° Biaxial Carbon Fiber Weave which optimizes board torsion and dynamic longitudinal flex. </li> <li><strong>3D Wood Core:</strong> Naturally dynamic. The CNC milled, long grained, Paulownia wood core gives the Bolt 3 unmatched dimensional stability, excellent decay resistance and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. </li> <li><strong>Vario Rails:</strong> Variable rail thickness. 9.5mm shaped rails near the center of the board that reduce down to 3mm on the tips, resulting in much greater control.</li> <li><strong>Diamond 3D-Shape: </strong>On the tips and around the grab handle, the surface is milled in the shape of diamonds. The refined contours reduce weight and direct torsional forces to the fins and edges where you want them for a perfect balance between flex and rigidity.</li> <li><strong>Multi Channels:</strong> Extreme grip even without fins. </li> <li><strong>V-Shape Keel:</strong> Inspired by the legendary handling of deep V powerboats in rough waters, CORE integrates a progressive V-shaped keel into the tips of the board to penetrate chop and smooth your ride. </li> <li><strong>Pro Rocker</strong>: A moderate freestyle rocker with superb handling during off-center landings.. </li> <li><strong>Pro Fix Grindbase: </strong>This snowboard inspired base. The waxy surface you feel on the new Bolt 2 is high-modulus polyethylene, a material with superior sliding properties especially over rails, ramps and other water features. And just like snowboards, scratches and dings can be easily repaired with any PTEX candle.</li> <li><strong>Rail Ready Base:</strong> Perfect for rails or anything else for that matter. The board’s slight mono concave bottom and less pronounced channels underfoot won’t interfere with rails, sliders or your riding style. But it might smooth out some of the chop.</li> <li><strong>28 + 42mm G10 Fins: </strong>Optimized shapes for the Bolt 3.</li> </ul>

Huge air hoses and strut valves allow uninhibited air flow. And when you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts :)</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>The classic, bombproof, five strut exoskeleton airframe is a critical component in the Impact 2 design to control and stabilize the kite during kite rotations. This stability creates predictable kite behavior. </p> <p><strong>Active 5th Line Safety: </strong>Classic 5th line safety with a bonus. The Impact’s 5th line always remains perfectly tensioned regardless of the trim adjuster cleat setting.</p> <p><strong>Custom Trim System: </strong>The Impact has three backline and five frontline attachment points to customize your bar pressure and kite flying style.</p> <p><strong>Rapid Relaunch: </strong>Get more out of your freestyle session. With its wide tips and small diameter front tube, the Impact 2 releases better from the water than you would think. A couple tugs on the backline is all you need to get the Impact 2 flying again so you can spend more time mastering your latest handle passes.</p> <p><strong>Sensor Bar Ready: </strong>Although the Impact 2 is a 5 line kite, it’s still fully compatible with the Sensor 2 and 2S bar system which delivers precise kite control, unmatched safety, and uncluttered simplicity. The Impact 2 comes with a 5th line conversion kit for any Sensor 2 or 2S bar. The conversion is quick and simple. The Impact 2 is not compatible with older 4 line Core bars, though.</p> <p><strong>GrinTex Patches: </strong>Anti-wear patches where you need them most. Extreme abrasion resistant patches on leading edge segment seams and struts give the Impact 2 another level of protection from perfectly placed beach hazards.</p> <p><strong>6 Year Parts Availability: </strong>Core's Industry leading durability is backed by a 6-year replacement parts guarantee</p>
