CORE Specialized: hardCORE wave kite, C-kite and wakestyle twin tip: Our new trio of specialized gear.
Until now, CORE has been known as the high-performance global brand behind the bestselling GTS3, XR4 and Fusion 2. The brand with a simple product range and a two-year product cycle. Between launching the hit Fusion 2 and the acclaimed XR4 you might think CORE would take a moment to recharge. But no, this island powerhouse released the attention grabbing TechBlack10 XR4, just because. And now, for the really big news.
The company with the distinctive white and yellow kites now introduces its new line, CORE Specialized: for highly specialized, single-purpose gear. Two new kite models and a brand new twin tip will launch the new CORE brand with “clearly identifiable niche products suitable for a select few with distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from our mainstream bestsellers” as CORE chief, Bernie Hiss, explains.
Wave kite: CORE Section
A purebred, uncompromising, wave kite with 3 struts, lightweight surf construction, perfect balance and super quick reflexes. A Future-C kite that stays put while you ride those super fast waves. A kite that doesn’t stall when you’re toeside on a wind driven 10 footer. A kite for all you strapped and strapless wave junkies that will drive hours for a magical wave session.
The Section features exceptionally strong ExoTex fabric that improves airflow by reducing leading edge and strut diameters. Despite having a thinner frame, the new design increases flight stability in the waves, especially when slack line drifting. The Section. Pure wave. Eight choices from 4 to 11m. And novel for wave kites – two special LW lightwind editions in 12 and 14 meters. Available now from 949 EUR.
C-Kite: CORE Impact
The ultimate C-kite. For those adrenaline pumping, slack lined, unhooked tricks you keep on trying. We say…more power to you.

And now, 10 years after launching the fabled C-kite, known as the Carved Unit, we give you the power to master your inner freestyle and wakestyle ninjas with the new CORE Impact with its unadulterated, unbridled and deep C-shape.
The Impact is immediately recognizable by its long, square wingtips and classic 5th line safety unless you are staring at the new TechBlack10 color. Our innovative 5th line safety is a game changer as it always remains perfectly tensioned regardless of the trim adjuster cleat setting. Get your Impact now in 7, 9, 11 and 13 meters. Priced from 1099 EUR which includes the Sensor 2 or Pro bar 5th line conversion kit.
Wakestyle twin tip: CORE Bolt
To round out the new CORE Specialized brand we bring you the rail ready Bolt. It brings super tough, wakestyle construction with the right amount of flex, rocker and bombproof boot inserts. It features not one but two layers of Cartan Carbon, V4A stainless steel inserts and six bottom channels. But that is not what makes this board so special. The Pro Fix Grindbase, on the other hand, is.

The Bolt’s revolutionary snowboard-like base will make your next session a little smoother. With YouTube worthy slides and grinds. And magically disappearing dings leaving only awesome memories. That is the new Pro Fix Grindbase. The first kiteboard with a repairable PTEX base.
Bolt. The ultimate, easy fix, freestyle, wakestyle, slider- style weapon. Available now in one size: 140cm. For 929 EUR including the Pro Fix base repair kit and 2 fin sets: 28 and 42mm.
