<h2><strong>Check out the Used 2021 Core Section 3 - 8m Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>*this kite is in amazing condition as it has only be used once for a photo shoot</strong></p> <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. For snappy turns with a controlled and consistent pull.<br /> - CIT Modes: 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.<br /> - Radical Reaction Tips: C-style shaped wingtips for faster bar response.<br /> - Ultralight 3 Strut Light Frame: A proven airframe taht saves weight and creates superb lightwind balance and great slack-line drifting<br /> - Surf Profile: The maximum camber is shifted back with a lower aspect ratio for faster kite that is beytter at drifting<br /> - Exotex® Ultra Rigid Dacron: Zero stretch airframe utilising a radical reinforcing thread pattern and protective coating process that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter<br /> - Coretex® Triple Ripstop Canopy: Extreme durability and UV protection setting the benchmark for longevity and tear resistance<br /> - Instant Relaunch: Reliable water starts in difficult conditions.<br /> - Speed Valve 2: The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose.

<h2><strong>Check out the Used 2021 Core Sensor 2S+ Bar & Lines at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>*Used but well looked after, lines are in great condition </strong></p> <p> </p> <p>SENSOR 2S+, PEERLESS IN DESIGN. AND NOW WITH THE NEW S-SYSTEM. LIGHT. DIRECT. SAFE.</p> <p>Your session’s awesomeness depends heavily on your gear. We believe the Sensor 2 control bar system contributes much more than you would think to kite performance. And it’s what you don’t see that makes our bars so unbelievably good. The functional know-how we hide inside and the minimalist design on the outside gives our bars the signature CORE confidence you expect. And the safety features you rely on. </p> <p>The Sensor 2 bar is now joined by the new Sensor 2S and Sensor 2S Pro. Two new bars with more tech wizardry that you can’t even see at first glance. Regardless of your bar selection, The CORE Sensor 2 bar system will provide you with the lightest, safest, and most direct feeling bar on the market. Because we sell more than just cool bars. We sell confidence.</p> <p><strong>Meet the new Sensor 2S.</strong> An intelligent mid-cycle update to the exceptional Sensor 2. A bar, where engineering ingenuity meets minimalism; where ceramic bearings are used to eliminate friction in the auto untwist function; and where Tectanium is used to make the thinnest and most aerodynamic depower lines. Technical innovations that make the Sensor 2S bar system peerless. Sometimes, it's what you don’t see, that makes it so good. Still not good enough for you? Then, you are ready for the new Sensor 2S Pro.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Ceramic Untwist:</strong> Functional simplicity. Untwisting your front lines has never been easier. Front line twists only occur below the sensor 2s bar. An improved, below the bar, swivel with hi-tech ceramic bearings unravels the front lines virtually on its own or whenever the bar is pulled in. The days of manually spinning the front line swivel are over. Welcome to the sensor 2s era of super auto untwist!</li> <li><strong>S-Neck:</strong> Perfect balance. The stainless steel connection between the rotor qr and the depower lines is shaped to provide more symmetric pulling forces on the lines. S-neck: smoother auto untwist. Zero unwanted leverage. Perfectly symmetric pulling forces. Now that’s smart.</li> <li><strong>Tectanium S-Slide / Depower Lines:</strong> The Sensor 2S replaces the front lines from the “y” to the chicken loop with our exclusive, no stretch, tectanium. And we protect it with a 5.2mm, uv-stabilized, polyether where it passes through the bar. Techno speak for a really durable, self-lubricating, no pinch, depower line. The new, 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.</li> <li><strong>Ultralight Unibody Bar:</strong> Made in Germany. The featherlight, unibody bar comes in at a mere 230g. The key to the Sensor 2S’s light and super direct feel is found in its low mass and low bar-end height. Inertia is reduced and leverage is optimized. The sensor 2s sports a deeply contoured eva grip for long lasting comfort and excellent hold. The reduced diameter grip makes even gloved sessions more comfortable and less fatiguing. </li> <li><strong>Titanium Core:</strong> Leave it to Core to design the strongest bar ever. We engineered an internal, aircraft quality, grade 5 titanium alloy truss to reinforce the bar. The titanium’s featherweight rigidity gives, in part, the sensor 2s’s direct feel. And it permits a reduced diameter, no cramp, grip. </li> <li><strong>Rotor Quick Release:</strong> The only 2-way quick release you do not have to think about. Releasing the kite is as simple as turning the mechanism in either direction for a simple, safe and intuitive process. It’s well known that more torque can be generated twisting than pushing or pulling. Unlike conventional systems, our quick release does not require you to overcome the flow of water. The rotor sets the standard for ease of use, safety, and performance. Another advantage of the rotor over conventional push/pull systems is size. The rotor is shorter, lighter and more compact than those other systems. All things being equal, a shorter rotor permits a closer trim adjuster location. And who would not want to have a shorter reach to the trim adjuster?</li> <li><strong>Supported Single Frontline Safety (SSF):</strong> Exclusive to Core. When the rotor quick release is activated, the kite will fully depower and come to rest in a ‘drift launch-ready’ position (nose to wind) until you are ready. The benefits here are twofold. The kite stays put and does not want to relaunch into the sky. And there is no pull on the lines while the kite is in ‘drift launch-ready’ position simplifying the process of re-engaging the rotor quick release. So how does ssf work and why does the kite not ‘turtle’ and stay in the air? The answer is that the kite does not flag out on one front line or equally on 2 front lines. Ssf releases 100% of the back lines and flags the kite mainly on one front line. But sufficient tension remains on the other front line to steer the kite down. So in effect, it is the slight (unequal) tension on the other front line that prevents the kite from turtling and remaining sky bound.</li> <li><strong>Spliced Ends: </strong>A small but important detail relates to how we finish our line end loops. We don’t simply fold over the line and stitch it up. No, that’s cheating. We braid the loop before stitching and finishing for a safer, stronger, and more aerodynamic connection.</li> <li><strong>Durable 24m Lines:</strong> Made in Germany quality. Our line supplier, Liros, is a name synonymous with innovation and workmanship. For example, they pre-stretch our lines under heat. Only 1.8mm thick and sporting a breaking strength of 368 kg, the Sensor 2S lines will perform beyond your expectations. A small but important detail relates to how we finish our line end loops. We don’t simply fold over the line and stitch it up. No, that’s cheating. We braid the loop before stitching and finishing for a safer, stronger, and more aerodynamic connection.</li> <li><strong>Vario Width:</strong> One bar covers all our kite sizes. From 4 to 19m! Nice. The sensor 2s bar width is adjustable from 46cm to 52cm by moving one knot. The best design ideas are the simple ones. Switching widths is as easy as 1. Pull back the floater exposing the bar end leader. 2. Undo larks head knot on the back line where it attaches to the bar leader. 3. Pull on the opposite bar leader knot and reconnect larks head. Simple. And unbreakable.</li> <li><strong>Core Loop/Stick Set:</strong> You will even find core engineering at work here too. We designed the loop stick to move out of the way when unhooking so hooking back in is easier. This design also prevents unintentional unhooking too. Nice touch? We think so.</li> <li><strong>Sensor Adjuster:</strong> Easy, one line, trim adjustment for those who prefer simplicity. Our clam cleat design reduces pulling effort by 25% which is noticeable in powered conditions. Still not comfortable? Then follow our step by step instructions to lower the cleat for a shorter reach.</li> <li><strong>Plus Four Line Length Options:</strong> A Sensor 2S Bar with four line length options. Maximize your kite’s performance. Easily and inexpensively with the new sensor 2s+. A bar that replaces the standard 24m lines with our vario lines. Vario lines are liros sourced, 18m lines with a 2m and 4m extension. As a result, the sensor 2s+ 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. Sensor 2+. Save money. Experiment. And have more fun</li> </ul>

Using the power to pull you into position, and then the option to shut the power off and surf the wave as nature intended has always been what keeps riders coming back to this kite.<br /> <br /> The Icon Drifter is un-changed in terms of flying and construction characteristics, with an updated graphic for this Limited Edition Model. The 250 Limited Edition Drifter ICON collection gives a nod towards it's industry changing heritage and give riders the chance to enjoy their own completely unique product which represents an Iconic Legacy.<br /> <br /> Each of the Drifter ICON kites comes with an official badge collectors number and limited edition ICON bag. Here's a word from Pete Cabrinha: "There are no products that represent kite surfing as well as the Cabrinha Switchblade and Drifter. Heros have been made, records have been broken, and the path to progression has been attainable by all through these iconic kites. This year we celebrate enduring performance with the Switchblade and Drifter Limited Edition Icon Series"<br /> <br /> With only a limited number of 250 of these beauties being made, make sure you a part of history!</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p>- Pure Profile Panels: Providing Cabrinha's renowned stability, by strategically placing panels the design team have managed to double the aerodynamic profile for the foremost curvature control meaning the kite can fly much faster in the sky which in turn allows it to perform efficiently in a wider array of kiting disciplines! <br /> - Onshore / Offshore: Customizable settings designed to optimize performance based on wind direction. Offshore facilitates better upwind ability which allows for easier cutbacks in offshore wind. Whilst the onshore setting provides for the maximum amount of “drift” as well as tighter turning.<br /> - Slackline Drift: The ability to park itself and stay aloft longer when the lines go slack so you can focus entirely on riding the wave.<br /> - High Tenacity Dacron: Specifically manufactured by Cabrinha for inflatable kites, by developing the dacron using ultra-high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count, the design team have created a product that actively combats elongation particularly under the high pressures endured by a kitesurfing kite, resulting in a more accurate shape with less deformation that rival products<br /> - Skeletal Frame: Designed to work in unison with the Pure Profile Panels, this framework structure maintains that the kite remains in its true shape once inflated, even through the most turbulent of conditions to reduce the effects of deformation and continue to provide excellent de-power. This technology also provides the kite with a great ability to recover if stalled by ensuring the kite can't fold in upon itself. Furthermore the inflatable structure also reduces the amount of bridling necesscary for stability as well as improving safety by increasing flotation in the water and enabling easier re-launch.<br /> - Volae Materials: An exclusive line of high-quality woven fabrics designed specifically for kitesurfing. The Volae materials are made with accuracy and consistency and are guaranteed for every kite Cabrinha make. 2DR Double Ripstop material is designed to provide a lightweight, yet durable, canopy with extremely low stretch properties. This translates into a kite with the ability to lock in its intended shape, while remaining ultra-reactive to rider input.<br /> - 1X Security: Upon activation of 1X’s single line flagging system the power of a kite is immediately killed and it will rest motionless on the water or land.<br /> - Sprint System w/Airlock: The Sprint inflation systems is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite inflated and deflated quickly. The enlarged Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump requires no special adapters.<br /> - Dynamic Arc: Dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes, one shape while flying, and another shape while resting on the water for an easier relaunch.<br /> - Power Control: Every Cabrinha kite comes with a simple, user adjustable way to choose the power level of the kite. Each rear line “pigtail” connector has three power positions you can connect to, allowing the rider to customize their ride.</p>
<h2><strong>Check out the Used 2020 Core XR6 - 10m Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>*Great condition has hardly been used, no rips or repairs</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. 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>

The new, 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.</li> <li><strong>Ultralight Unibody Bar:</strong> Made in Germany. The featherlight, unibody bar comes in at a mere 230g. The key to the Sensor 2S’s light and super direct feel is found in its low mass and low bar-end height. Inertia is reduced and leverage is optimized. The sensor 2s sports a deeply contoured eva grip for long lasting comfort and excellent hold. The reduced diameter grip makes even gloved sessions more comfortable and less fatiguing. </li> <li><strong>Titanium Core:</strong> Leave it to Core to design the strongest bar ever. We engineered an internal, aircraft quality, grade 5 titanium alloy truss to reinforce the bar. The titanium’s featherweight rigidity gives, in part, the sensor 2s’s direct feel. And it permits a reduced diameter, no cramp, grip. </li> <li><strong>Rotor Quick Release:</strong> The only 2-way quick release you do not have to think about. Releasing the kite is as simple as turning the mechanism in either direction for a simple, safe and intuitive process. It’s well known that more torque can be generated twisting than pushing or pulling. Unlike conventional systems, our quick release does not require you to overcome the flow of water. The rotor sets the standard for ease of use, safety, and performance. Another advantage of the rotor over conventional push/pull systems is size. The rotor is shorter, lighter and more compact than those other systems. All things being equal, a shorter rotor permits a closer trim adjuster location. And who would not want to have a shorter reach to the trim adjuster?</li> <li><strong>Supported Single Frontline Safety (SSF):</strong> Exclusive to Core. When the rotor quick release is activated, the kite will fully depower and come to rest in a ‘drift launch-ready’ position (nose to wind) until you are ready. The benefits here are twofold. The kite stays put and does not want to relaunch into the sky. And there is no pull on the lines while the kite is in ‘drift launch-ready’ position simplifying the process of re-engaging the rotor quick release. So how does ssf work and why does the kite not ‘turtle’ and stay in the air? The answer is that the kite does not flag out on one front line or equally on 2 front lines. Ssf releases 100% of the back lines and flags the kite mainly on one front line. But sufficient tension remains on the other front line to steer the kite down. So in effect, it is the slight (unequal) tension on the other front line that prevents the kite from turtling and remaining sky bound.</li> <li><strong>Spliced Ends: </strong>A small but important detail relates to how we finish our line end loops. We don’t simply fold over the line and stitch it up. No, that’s cheating. We braid the loop before stitching and finishing for a safer, stronger, and more aerodynamic connection.</li> <li><strong>Durable 24m Lines:</strong> Made in Germany quality. Our line supplier, Liros, is a name synonymous with innovation and workmanship. For example, they pre-stretch our lines under heat. Only 1.8mm thick and sporting a breaking strength of 368 kg, the Sensor 2S lines will perform beyond your expectations. A small but important detail relates to how we finish our line end loops. We don’t simply fold over the line and stitch it up. No, that’s cheating. We braid the loop before stitching and finishing for a safer, stronger, and more aerodynamic connection.</li> <li><strong>Vario Width:</strong> One bar covers all our kite sizes. From 4 to 19m! Nice. The sensor 2s bar width is adjustable from 46cm to 52cm by moving one knot. The best design ideas are the simple ones. Switching widths is as easy as 1. Pull back the floater exposing the bar end leader. 2. Undo larks head knot on the back line where it attaches to the bar leader. 3. Pull on the opposite bar leader knot and reconnect larks head. Simple. And unbreakable.</li> <li><strong>Core Loop/Stick Set:</strong> You will even find core engineering at work here too. We designed the loop stick to move out of the way when unhooking so hooking back in is easier. This design also prevents unintentional unhooking too. Nice touch? We think so.</li> <li><strong>Sensor Adjuster:</strong> Easy, one line, trim adjustment for those who prefer simplicity. Our clam cleat design reduces pulling effort by 25% which is noticeable in powered conditions. Still not comfortable? Then follow our step by step instructions to lower the cleat for a shorter reach.</li> <li><strong>Plus Four Line Length Options:</strong> A Sensor 2S Bar with four line length options. Maximize your kite’s performance. Easily and inexpensively with the new sensor 2s+. A bar that replaces the standard 24m lines with our vario lines. Vario lines are liros sourced, 18m lines with a 2m and 4m extension. As a result, the sensor 2s+ 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. Sensor 2+. Save money. Experiment. And have more fun</li> </ul>
