Core Era Kiteboard: Your Gateway to Progression and Sustainable Performance

In the rapidly evolving world of kitesurfing, the right gear can transform your experience from a struggle into a breakthrough. The Core Era Kiteboard is specifically designed to be the ultimate progression tool, bridging the gap between your first water starts and advanced freeride maneuvers. Engineered by the experts at Core, this board prioritizes ease of use, comfort, and environmental sustainability, making it a standout choice in any kitesurfing equipment lineup.

At Water Sports House, we believe that “progression” shouldn’t mean sacrificing quality. The Era offers the legendary Core build quality at a more accessible price point, ensuring every kite surfer has access to a high-performance ride.

Sustainable Innovation: The Basalt & Greenpoxy Revolution

The Core Era marks a significant shift in how a board kiteboard is constructed. By moving away from traditional carbon and glass fibers in favor of natural alternatives, Core has created a board that is better for the planet and better for your knees.

Basalt Fabric Construction

The heart of the Era is its Paulownia Light wood core, which is wrapped in innovative Basalt fabric. Derived from natural volcanic rock, basalt fibers offer higher tensile and compressive strength than standard glass fibers.

• Exceptional Cushioning: Basalt naturally dampens vibrations, providing a “buttery” feel even in heavy chop.

• Explosive Bounce: Despite its comfort, the material stores energy efficiently, providing a remarkable “pop” for your first jumps.

• Eco-Friendly: The production of basalt fiber requires significantly less energy and generates lower CO2 emissions than carbon or glass.

Greenpoxy® Resin

To further its sustainable mission, the Era uses Greenpoxy 33, an epoxy resin composed of 35% plant-based molecules. This bio-based chemistry ensures that the board remains durable and high-performing while reducing reliance on petroleum-based products.

Technical Features for Effortless Riding

The Era isn’t just about eco-materials; it’s packed with technical shaping features derived from modern shipbuilding and flow analysis.

1. Voluminous Center Keel

Inspired by the “Bulbous Bow” of modern ships, the Era features a strikingly wide center keel. This design effectively breaks the surface tension of the water, significantly reducing water resistance and helping the board “swallow” chop.

2. Slim Parabolic Outline

The Era’s unique parabolic outline features a deliberately slimmed tip width. This makes the board incredibly easy to handle during turns and transitions, providing unmatched grip during gliding jibes.

3. Channeled Multi-Concave

The underwater hull is a masterpiece of flow optimization. Curved channels direct water currents in a way that maximizes glide and upwind efficiency, making it easier for you to stay upwind and focus on your kitesurfing flying technique.

Technical Specifications Table

Available Sizes:

• Era LW (Lightwind): 154×46 | 159×47

The EQ Fin System: Grip Without the Drag

Standard fins can sometimes feel “stuck” at high speeds. The Era’s EQ Fins feature a wide base resembling a Beluga’s forehead, which prevents water suction.

• Lightweight Design: The hollow EQ fins are 30% lighter than standard fins, reducing swing weight.

• Agility: The precisely defined roughness on the fin surface minimizes suction in turbulent flows, allowing for effortless switching and carving at full speed.

Summary: Why the Core Era?

The Core Era is the perfect partner for your journey from beginner to intermediate. It excels in a variety of conditions, from flat-water lagoons to messy ocean chop.

1. Ease of Use: Forgiving flex and a parabolic outline make it easy to control.

2. Upwind Machine: Channeled concaves ensure you aren’t walking back up the beach.

3. Sustainable Performance: High-tech basalt construction reduces environmental impact.

4. Smooth Ride: The center keel and basalt dampening eliminate board chatter.
