DEMO CORE X-LITE 12.0 FOIL-BOARDING Kite

3-4 Sessions foiling  "A" CONDITION CORE XLITE foil Specific Single Strut Kite

The XLITE is the latest edition to that series.

It’s a no compromise, all in, one strut inflatable with features that make it unique to the foiling discipline.

20% lighter than two of Core’s other kites, the Nexus and the Section, the XLITE benefits from the Section’s drifting skills in waves but also that same Nexus-like low-end power in light conditions. The extra juice (and lighter overall weight) allows you to ride a smaller kite than you might usually (even on a foil) and the kite’s higher canopy aspect ratio makes it sit forward in the window so that you don’t overtake it on your foil.

Core have used their CoreTex material for the canopy and the new ExoTex Light for the leading edge. The CoreTex adds support to the one strut canopy while the ExoTex is nearly as strong, but also 10% lighter. Further weight reduction’s been achieved with anti-snag bridles that also improve the kite’s handling and water relaunching.
