CORE NXS Kite – One Kite. Wave. Freeride. Foil.
The CORE NXS is CORE’s new all-round kite for twintip, surf and foil, built for riders who refuse to commit to a single discipline yet still demand outstanding performance in every condition. Developed on an entirely new platform, it combines the versatility of the Nexus with noticeably higher performance, modern construction and an even more harmonious flying feel, delivering smooth power and exceptional drift.
Why choose the NXS
- A true all-rounder: one kite that blurs the boundaries between freeride, wave and foil.
- Smooth, predictable power: the Surf Profile delivers even power without aggressive spikes, plus class-leading drift.
- Impressive boosting: stronger jumps with clean, controlled landings and reliable hangtime, and controlled kiteloops without excessive progression.
- Light and agile: the 3 Strut Light Frame and ExoTex Light struts cut weight for faster steering and a free, agile feel.
- Effortless relaunch: Instant Relaunch brings it back into the air in seconds.

Care and maintenance
Rinse with fresh water after sessions in salt water and dry the kite fully before packing to protect the canopy. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sun and dragging the leading edge on sand or reef. Store it dry and rolled in its backpack and use the included repair kit for minor fixes. Never leave the kite inflated and unattended on the beach.
