CORE Kiteboarding Nexus 2
CORE's Nexus burst on to the scene a few years ago now and already has a firm following of committed riders.

Like most in its class, the Nexus 2 houses 3 struts,…
CORE Kiteboarding Ripper 4
The Ripper from CORE enters its 4th version with a huge overhaul in design to improve not only its usability, but also lightwind and sloppy wave performance. The construction of the board stays the same with a classic surfboard layup of a closed cell PU foam blank lovingly shaped in Portugal with a double laminated wooden stringer and finished with…

CORE Kiteboarding Bolt 3
CORE's Bolt 3 board is for that specific all out, balls to the wall, wakestyle rider who demands only the toughest and most performance-orientated board out there. A boots specific board, this is not a board you can grow into, nor can you grow out of; it is simply that good. Designed to be ridden with either the 48mm, 28mm…

The board itself has…

CORE Kiteboarding 720
CORE have a strong surfboard range for this year, with riders like Willow River Tonkin on the team it’s hardly surprising.

Inside this is a vertically laid wood stringer, which…
