DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Versatility for all levels
The Core Era is designed to be accessible from your very first waterstarts, but still has the performance to keep you stoked as you progress. Its easy handling helps you learn the ropes, while its responsiveness is perfect for dialing in your transitions and working on freeride and freestyle tricks.
Comfort and Absorption
The basalt weave provides natural damping you can feel on every landing. It absorbs impacts better and reduces fatigue. Our tester, François, noted it was way easier on his knees during choppy sessions.
Lightweight and Lively
The Paulownia Light core keeps the board light without sacrificing strength. On the water, this means it's easy to handle, with quick acceleration out of turns and a lively feel that helps with maneuvers and controlled pops.
Sustainable Construction
Core uses Greenpoxy® resin, which has 35% plant-based content. You still get top-tier performance while reducing the board's environmental footprint, a great feature for riders who care about their gear's impact.
Control and Grip
The parabolic outline and curved channels improve grip through turns and make it easier to ride upwind. The EQ 48 mm fins provide solid hold for precise and confident transitions.
Pads and Straps Not Included
This board is sold bare (board only): pads and straps are not included. You can choose the pads/straps pack best suited to your riding style.
