One kite. All disciplines. Twintip, surfboard, or foil: the NXS is built for riders who won't be tied to one discipline and demand performance across everything they do on the water. The NXS is a focused blend of several CORE models. It takes elements from the Nexus, Pace, Section, and Xlite and merges them into a single concept: a kite that intentionally crosses boundaries and finds its strength in that all-round versatility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
One kite, all disciplines
The NXS is a focused blend of several CORE models, taking elements from the Nexus, Pace, Section, and Xlite and merging them into a single concept. The result is a kite that intentionally crosses disciplines, finding its strength in that all-round versatility. For twintip, surfboard, or foil, it's designed for riders who won't be confined to a single style and demand performance across the full range of their riding.
More performance than the Nexus
Compared to the Nexus, the NXS delivers significantly improved jumping performance with clean, controlled landings, all without losing its playful character. It keeps that fun, balanced, predictable, and responsive agility that makes every session a pleasure, while increasing your boost and control on takeoff.
At home in the waves and on the foil
The NXS excels in the waves and on the foil thanks to its great agility and better drift than the more performance-oriented Pace. Its surf profile delivers smooth, progressive power, combined with remarkable control when conditions get heavy. A balanced kite that's equally comfortable in the shorebreak or for foiling.
Lightweight 3-strut construction
The NXS is built on a lightweight 3-strut frame, featuring an ExoTex 3 leading edge and ExoTex Light struts for a responsive yet controlled feel. The CoreTex 2 Triple Ripstop canopy ensures consistent performance over time. Its moderate aspect ratio provides a balanced geometry and endless possibilities, true to the quality and development standards of CORE, the German brand based on the island of Fehmarn.
