DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
You'll feel the difference on your first landing. The board dampens vibrations, taking the strain off your knees. The pop is powerful yet predictable, making it easier to stick your landings and link tricks together. On the water, the board feels stable and planted in chop, yet remains lively and responsive through transitions. It's a confidence-inspiring ride that will have you pushing for one more trick, one more run.
Sizes and how to choose
The 136 is a great all-round size, offering a sweet spot between planing surface and maneuverability. If you're between sizes, think about your main discipline. Go bigger for better light wind performance and cruising comfort, or size down for a more nimble and reactive feel for freestyle. We recommend considering your full quiver (kite and bar) before making your final choice.
Construction and What Makes the Difference
The board pairs a Paulownia Light core with a basalt fabric laminate, a combination that provides exceptional natural damping. The use of Greenpoxy® resin lowers the environmental impact while ensuring the board has the structural integrity to handle heavy freestyle sessions. The dome deck is engineered to distribute load and fine-tune the flex, maximizing pop without creating a harsh, unforgiving ride. This choice of materials is why the board feels so light underfoot yet so comfortable on the water.
On-Water Performance
In both flat water and chop, the Core Era holds a solid edge without feeling sluggish. The curved channels provide excellent grip for carving, and it tracks upwind with ease. When you come down from a jump, the basalt's damping soaks up the impact, making for much softer, knee-friendly landings. Its responsive handling allows for quick transitions, perfect for linking tricks and accelerating powerfully out of turns without losing an edge.
Who's It For?
This board is perfect for anyone looking for versatility and comfort. It suits progressing beginners right through to advanced riders who want a more forgiving freestyle board. If you love to mix freeride cruising with freestyle tricks, you'll appreciate the Era's perfect balance of pop and shock absorption. Riders whose knees have seen better days will especially love the advanced, impact-dampening materials.
Buying advice
If your sessions are a mix of big air and long-distance freeriding, the 136 offers great stability. For the ultimate ride, pair it with the Core Union Comfort 2 pads and straps. The board comes with 48 mm EQ fins, giving you the perfect setup right out of the box. We highly recommend demoing the board if you can. Paired with the included Union Comfort pads, you'll immediately feel the incredible comfort we're talking about.
