CORE XR8 Kite

THE ULTIMATE HIGH

Supreme materials for unparalleled performance.

• With its ultra-stiff 5-strut frame in a Deltabow shape, this exceptional kite allows you to achieve breathtaking jumps and the longest hang time. Experience an unprecedented level of high ride comfort and control with the XR8's effortless and forgiving handling.
• Explosive jump forces and superior upwind performance guaranteed. Thanks to the significantly stiffer ExoTex 2 material the kite's entire airframe has been fine-tuned and enables smaller leading edge and strut diameters - making the kite more agile and responsive with better bar feedback
• When we say you'll reach new heights, we mean it. - the XR8 will take your kiting to extraordinary levels. You’ll find that loops are more efficient with an earlier and smoother catch. The CoreTex 2 canopy is both highly durable and has an extremely low-stretch. These two features work together to give the canopy unparalleled flight stability, power, and control.
• Designed to perform and built to last. Crafted with top-notch durability and strength in mind, the materials excel beyond their predecessors and industry standards. ExoTex 2 gives an 80% increase in tear resistance, while CoreTex 2 an impressive 300%. This ensures that the XR8 delivers first-class performance in every session

NEW! EXOTEX® 2 LEADING EDGE

STRONGER MATERIAL. STIFFER AIR FRAME

The XR8 meets the Exotex 2 leading edge for the first time. This leading edge is stiffer and lighter than previous generations, and it also boasts an impressive 80% increase in tear resistance, making it more durable and reliable. Exotex 2 represents a thoughtful and advanced development in polyester weaving, through both the warp and weft. Through every inch of the XR8's air frame you'll find the use of ultra-strong yarns resulting in a tight woven structure that undergoes a unique heating and shrinking process.

CORETEX® 2 TRIPLE RIPSTOP CANOPY

MAXIMUM STABILITY AND DURABILITY

Combined with our highly refined CoreTex 2 canopy cloth, we've accelerated the development of light weight performance, dynamic handling, and core strength of the XR8. The significantly lighter canopy fabric features massively improved tear resistance, stiffness and durability. A new coating process aids stability in higher winds and jumps. CoreTex 2 sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection, and elongation. Experience the tight, crisp, and signature feel that only a CoreTex kite delivers.

5 STRUT FRAME

THIS KIND OF MUSCLE NEEDS FIVE STRUTS

The five-strut exoskeleton frame is a crucial component of the XR8 design, providing exceptional stability to manage the increased power generated by our Intelligent Arc system. This bombproof frame also significantly enhances the kite's performance in high wind conditions.

HIGH TURNING SPEED

LOOPS BETTER. CATCHES EARLIER

By reducing the diameter of both the leading edge and strut, we were able to achieve an optimal stiffness and twist ratio when controlling the kite. As a result, the XR8 kite has become much more agile

GRINTEX® PATCHES

CORE TOUGH LEADING EDGE

Anti-wear patches where you need them most. The extreme abrasion-resistant patches located on the leading edge segment seams and strut tips offer another layer of security against any potential beach hazards.

Core Fusion 6 Kiteboard

More performance, lower carbon footprint

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE + | FREESTYLE | BIG AIR

MASTER EVERY CHALLENGE

CORE’s bestselling twintip - now featuring the remarkably efficient Cartan 2 carbon fiber weave. An innovative, holistic board that meets all the requirements of the aspiring rider. Its unique materials and technology, packed in a sophisticated shape with highly differentiated underwater hull, make it the ideal board for all types of riders, excelling in all disciplines.

Minimally stiffer and maximally stronger. The Fusion 6th generation builds upon the innovation of the legendary CARVED Imperator, introducing for the first time the lighter, more powerful, and sustainable Cartan 2 Carbon. With its reduced layer thickness, this carbon lies flat on the wood core, resulting in lower resin usage and increased efficiency in terms of stiffness and strength. The formula is simple: higher fiber content in the laminate translates to less material, allowing for higher and faster restoring forces, ultimately delivering superior performance.

Smaller ecological footprint. As a manufacturer, we prioritize our responsibility to enhance the sustainability of our production and supply chains. Introducing The GreenPoxy, an epoxy resin with 35% of its molecular structure derived from plants we can ensure a significant enviromental contribution without compromising its function and performance. Additionally, our switch to Cartan 2, has resulted in a reduction of cutting waste by up to 80%.

Master every challenge. Take your skills to the next level. Try the Fusion 6 now.

Key Features:

• NEW CARTAN® 2 CARBON: Thinner, stronger carbon fibre fabric with 80% less cutting waste
• UNIBODY EDGE: the best connection of deck and hull
• PAULOWNIA LIGHT: even lighter wood core with the same strength
• NEW GREENPOXY: 35% epoxy resin of plant origin
• MULTI CHANNELS: grip and control in all situations
• KATANA CHANNELS: stiffer tips for increased response and restoring force
• V-SHAPED KEEL: early gliding, buttery soft landings
• BEVELED DECK: minimized reverse flex and better planning
• VEE ROCKER: fast without the risk of diving
• TUCKED UNDER RAILS: more grip and more effective gain in height

NEW EQ FIN SET (48MM): equal grip, more agility

Developed, tested and refined over three years. The completely redesigned EQ fin not only looks exceptional, it performs exceptionally. With a wide fin base resembling a beluga forehead, it effectively prevents water from being sucked in. Unlike standard fins, the grip level of EQ fins remains consistent as speed increases, offering a distinct advantage. This feature noticeably facilitates easier release even at full speed, allowing for smoother switching. Additionally, the rounded transition between the fin and board minimizes drag, which occurs when two surfaces meet.

The EQ fin is also designed to be lightweight, weighing approximately 30 percent less than the Equalizer fin, thanks to its hollow interior. The rough surface is not just an unclean finish, but the technical icing on the cake: in turbulent currents, the precisely defined roughness minimizes suction and increases maneuverability.

Core Sensor 3S Control Bar

Experience next-level innovation, functional design, and clean esthetic in the ultra-light Sensor 3S – a legendary control bar with groundbreaking features. Everyone’s favorite control bar delivers the same light, direct, and safe experience but with some truly innovative features. The titanium truss, Supported Single Frontline Safety, and Auto Untwist are carried over from the proven Sensor 2. We cleaned up the bar ends and made them more ergonomic and useable. The softer bar ends now flip open to reveal hidden line winders and simple width adjusters. The biggest change, though, is the all-new easy-in QR. We designed a quick release that’s incredibly easy to reconnect with one hand.

Features

• TITANIUM CORE: Extra rigid, titanium trussed, composite bar.
• STEALTH WINDERS: Clean bar ends reveal hidden line winders.

Core Union Pro 4 Strap Kit

Size Chart

• Large Men's 10-12

Meet our Union Pro pads & straps with an improved, high-vis strap. We like the split strap design for its ridiculous customization options. It gives 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. You can adjust the angle of your feet in 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. We know, that’s an insane amount of customization. We just want to make sure it fits everyone. The Union Pro also features subtle changes to materials and design. We improved the footbed densities to prevent foot slippage and increase comfort. The pad ridges encourage feet to slip in and stay put.
