The Core Nexus is a true cross over kite that excels in waves, foilboarding, and free riding. The superior stability and lighter bar feel makes it a favorite with women and lighter riders too.

What We Like

• Core build quality is the best in the business. The lead designer overseas production at their factory in Sri Lanka to ensure every kite is made exactly as it was designed.
• Core kites last twice as long than any other kite in the REAL Lesson Center.
• Mind blowing kite stability. This is the most stable kite in the sky. You can park it at 12 o’clock let go of the bar and the kite will stay there for a while.
• Great drift and fast turning for kitesurfing.
• Silky smooth power delivery, not too punchy and never back stalls while foilboarding.
• Predictable turning and hang time for freestyle.
• The CIT settings allow you to customize the fit and feel of the kite to your riding style. That being said, we rarely move it off stock settings because it flies so well on stock settings.

What We Don’t Like

• Compared to the XR5, the Nexus lacks power and hang time.
• Big kite loops will have you coming back to earth with more speed than you want. You don’t get the “catch” like the GTS5.
• Small amount of flutter in the wing tips on tight turns.
