Bernie Hiss is a passionate man, and his passion for waves has been slowly simmering away. You would be forgiven for thinking that his passion had waned due to the focus on Kites and Twin Tips, but this year he has let loose with two brand new surfboards,  the 720 and Green Room, and an updated Ripper3.

Always one to think outside the box and do things their own way, CORE have kept things traditional with glass and closed cell polyurethane foam. Not only does this avoid mass production, Bernie insists “Nothing matches the fine tolerances and flex memory of glass boards”. As one of the few remaining major brands to manufacture glass boards, CORE is steadfast in its belief that glass boards are superior in shape, feel, and performance. “You can tell the difference. Try one. You’ll see.” suggests Bernie.

720

Experience a new-school, strapless, freestyle rocket for stick-to-your-feet awesomeness. Yep, we really cut the nose off this one. But don’t be fooled. Its wave pedigree is still intact with plenty of rocker, a tail designed for snappy off-the-lip aerials, and the smooth ride you expect from a glass custom board. And it’s just as comfortable in the flats, fakie style. This fast planing, lightwind machine will even have you woohoo-ing in your sleep!

Ripper 3

With a little extra computing time left on “Hazel Hen,” we upgraded the Ripper 3. The revised tail shape, rail profile, and slightly less width overall may induce endless woohoos in just about any waves. Like the ones a Nor’easterly brings to the East Coast. Or a good low brings to the Great Lakes. We built the ultra comfortable, Ripper 3 allrounder to feel right at home on big, messy, wind driven lake swell and the super smooth reefs of Mauritius and Maui. The Ripper 3. A handcrafted, glass shortboard for all your road trips, wherever they may take you.

Green Room

“This stick isn’t for everyone,“ suggests CORE-CEO Bernie Hiss. The all new, pintail big wave board is designed for serious addicts. The type that isn’t afraid of anything and never misses a chance of getting tubed in a double head high wave session. If this sounds like you, then you are ready for the Green Room. With the right amount of control and grip on all parts of the wave, the Green Room may turn you into a big wave nomad, traveling to destinations unknown for many more golden tubular sessions.
