THE BIG PICTURE
Tests will be published next time round but (spoiler alert) they are both very impressive… Time to find out more about them and about other news from CORE HQ.
IT SEEMS LIKE AN EXCITING TIME FOR CORE AT THE MOMENT WITH A FEW BIG RELEASES ALIGNING THIS YEAR – CAN YOU TALK US THROUGH WHAT’S JUST MADE ITS WAY INTO THE LINE UP?
After several COVID-19 related setbacks, the Sensor 3 bar has finally been shipped and is the latest product to join the lineup. For the last four years, the Sensor 2S has been our go-to control system which are the foundations for the Sensor 3. We took a decent amount of time adding, testing and tuning significant improvements and it’s definitely payed off.
Just a few weeks ago, we released the second edition of the Nexus, which we added to our line of Universal kites in 2018. With its superpowers in waves, version 2 has noticeably lighter struts without compromising stiffness in the profile, and a wider tip area for responsive turning and control. If you want to see it in action, check out Steven Akkersdijk and Willow-River Tonkin hit Ireland and push the Nexus 2 to its limits.
Also new to the range is the Ripper surfboard. Complementing the classic fiberglass construction with its distinct surfboard feel, it has a completely redesigned shape. A shorter, wider, fish-inspired outline and mini swallow tail delivers a stable yet responsive ride, rail to rail control, early planing and forward volume distribution.
