DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A dedicated wave front wing
The ELXR is the front wing designed by CORE for pure wave foiling, where harnessing the wave's energy is everything. It's built for maximum glide, effortless pumping and a dynamic, surf-like ride feel. The goal is simple: convert the wave's energy directly into forward drive without needing constant pull from a wing or kite, letting you link turns in a non-stop flow.
Wave-optimised profile
The ELXR's profile is optimised for wave riding. It generates powerful lift at low speed, getting you up on foil early and making the most of the available power, even on weaker swells. This early lift makes it easy to get going and connect sections, all while maintaining speed through your turns.
A balanced medium aspect ratio
With a medium aspect ratio between 8.0 and 8.8 depending on the size, the ELXR finds the sweet spot between glide, agility and control. This moderate design avoids extremes: you get enough glide and efficiency to keep moving, enough agility to snap tight turns in the pocket, and enough control to stay precise at speed.
Efficient pumping to connect waves
The ELXR focuses on pumping efficiency. It helps you actively connect from one wave to the next, even in marginal conditions where you have to pump to get to the next section. This performance is key for wave and downwind riding, extending your time on the foil.
Responsive control and breach resistance
The ELXR gives you more freedom in pitch and roll for dynamic turns. Its pitch stability has been deliberately reduced to encourage a more active and efficient riding style, perfect for a surf feel. The profile also maintains a stable flow even if the wingtips briefly break the surface, which prevents stalling from ventilation when you're pushing it.
Carbon Construction and CFS Compatibility
The ELXR is built from a multi-layer carbon laminate, and each size is developed individually. The 650, 750 and 1250 front wings have a wood core, while the 850, 950 and 1050 use an epoxy core. The wing is 100% compatible with the CORE Foil System (CFS), so you can combine it with any CFS carbon or aluminium masts, fuselages (60 cm for pump and freestyle, 64 cm for freestyle and wave, 70 cm for stability and control) and CFS stabilizers.

FAQ
Who is the ELXR for?
The ELXR is for wave and parawing foilers of all builds looking for pure glide and responsive control in the waves. Its deliberately reduced pitch stability makes it a high-performance, surf-style front wing. For riders 85 kg and over, CORE recommends going one size up.
What are the ELXR's key features?
The ELXR is a medium aspect ratio (approx. 8.0 to 8.8) front wing with a wave-optimised profile for early lift and efficient pumping. It has reduced pitch stability for responsive control and is highly resistant to ventilation breaches. It's built from multi-layer carbon laminate; the 650, 750 and 1250 sizes have a wood core, while the 850, 950 and 1050 have an epoxy core. It comes in six sizes from 650 to 1250 cm² and is fully CFS compatible.
How do I choose my size?
Your ELXR front wing size depends on the wave conditions and your weight. The smaller sizes (650, 750) are for medium to steep waves, from chest-high to overhead. The larger sizes (850 to 1250) are better in flatter to medium waves, from knee-high to waist-high. If you weigh 85 kg or more, we recommend sizing up for the best performance.
Which fuselage and stabilizer should I choose?
The ELXR is compatible with all CFS components. For fuselages, CORE offers the 60 cm (pump and freestyle), the 64 cm (freestyle and wave) and the 70 cm (stability and control). For stabilizers, you can choose the 160 (full speed), 190 (dynamic speed), 220 (balanced agility) or 300 (maximum control).
Which masts work with the ELXR?
The ELXR fits all CFS masts. Choose the CFS carbon mast for ultimate performance, or the CFS aluminium mast for a more affordable, allround option. The entire CORE Foil System is designed to be modular, letting you customise your setup.
What's in the box?
The ELXR front wing comes with its protective cover and three M8x22 screws for mounting it to the fuselage.
