Core Choice 5 Freestyle Kiteboard

Core Choice 5 Freestyle Kiteboard The Core Kiteboard Choice 5 is an innovative and performance-driven twintip, designed for versatility in freestyle, freeride, and big air. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate rider, this board offers a playful yet responsive experience, making it your ideal all-in-one solution. Experience an incredibly smooth ride paired with on-demand agility, allowing for quick progression to grabbed rotations and explosive jumps. The Choice 5 features state-of-the-art multi-channels for exceptional grip, while its new tip shape and integrated quattro channels enhance agility and pop. Additionally, the carefully contoured underwater hull ensures softer landings by breaking surface tension before pressure reaches your knees. This design makes it easier to correct messy landings and navigate choppy conditions with confidence. Elevate your kiteboarding sessions with the Core Kiteboard Choice 5—the perfect blend of performance and playfulness. Features MULTI-CHANNELS GRIP AND CONTROL IN ALL SITUATIONS: A massive double concave center channel and a smaller outer channel follow the length of the board, providing extra depth for the V-Keel and incredible grip. In addition to the center channel, we added Quattro tip channels. Freestylers can load their edges more than ever, while freeriders will enjoy how well the Choice 5 tracks upwind. BEVELED DECK REDUCED REVERSE FLEX AND BETTER PLANING: The Choice 5 features a 6-degree beveled deck edge from tip-to-tip that blends into the Katana channels. The bevel decreases longitudinal flex for more pop, reduced reverse flex and more powerful edging. PRO ROCKER FULL BOW FOR BOOTS. HIGH COMFORT FOR STRAPS: The Choice 5 features a progressive freestyle rocker that is most pronounced under the handle. Board curvature is then reduced towards the tips. Individual flex patterns are built into each board size to lock in the best performance possible. Without giving away our secrets, good flex and bad (aka reverse) flex is measured and managed by varying the lamination thicknesses during production. A super-hard landing, for example, can create a negative rocker between your feet. We work very hard to eliminate bad flex, so those rock hard landings are easy to recover from. Not to worry, the Choice 5 is still deliciously fun when you are not in 'training' mode. Go hard, or easy; either way, you’ll love it. TUCKED UNDER RAILS MORE GRIP FOR MORE EFFECTIVE GAIN IN HEIGHT: The board features a tucked under bottom rail between the straps that transitions to a box edge near the outer inserts. The rail thins out to a sharper edge at the tips. The tucked under rail softens the ride and improves water flow, whereas the sharper tip edges add more bite. Materials CARTAN® CARBON UNIQUE FLEX AND RIDING PERFORMANCE: Our proprietary 30° biaxial carbon fiber layup optimizes torsion and flex. Our made-to-order 30° biaxial carbon fiber has more flex along the length of the board and less flex between the toe and heel. Cartan carbon's unique high filament count also requires less resin which saves weight. Enjoy improved pop, softer landings and extreme durability with Cartan. UNIBODY EDGE THE BEST CONNECTION OF DECK AND HULL: High-end racing ski sidewall technology finds its way to twintips. An industry first and more expensive foil, the carbon and thermoset resin process massively improves the connection between the top and bottom Cartan carbon for a true unibody build. We replaced the previous internal ABS edge strip that joins the top and bottom carbon sheets with a new 80 layer, laminated, resin-activated strip that is much harder, stiffer and better bonding. The new edge improves torsional rigidity and also stores and releases more energy than before. PAULOWNIA LIGHT LIGHTER WOOD CORE WITH THE SAME STRENGTH: Powerfully light, marine-grade, laminated wood core. All wood has natural variation in density and volumetric weight. We now select the lowest weight laminations before gluing them together. In doing so, the specially selected, long-grained Paulownia wood is 250g lighter and just as strong as the last generation. It gives our boards dimensional stability, decay resistance and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. The Paulownia extends towards the board's edges and is CNC milled both top and bottom. Package Includes Choice 5 board Grabhandle G10 Pro Fins (42mm) V4A-screws Pad and Binding are sold separately**
