Twintip, surfboard, or foil. The NXS is built for riders who refuse to commit to just one discipline and demand outstanding performance in every condition.
The NXS marks a clear new beginning. Developed on an entirely new platform, it combines the versatility of the Nexus with noticeably higher performance, modern construction and an even more harmonious flying feel. Not an update. Not a compromise. A CORE all-rounder for riders with high expectations.
Experience the full performance of a sporty freeride kite with the NXS. Its moderate high‑aspect 3‑strut design with fixed bridle delivers direct, predictable handling and a solid bar feel. Relaxed cruising, impressive jumping performance with reliable hangtime, smooth kiteloops and high agility – all combined in a modern all‑round kite.
WAVE Confidence in Every Wave
In the waves, benefit from outstanding drift and the smooth power delivery inherited from the Section’s surf profile. The NXS gives you maximum freedom on the wave while supporting fluid turns and aggressive cutbacks. Playful, reactive and always under control.
Foil Ultimate Control
The weight‑optimized construction using ExoTex® 3, ExoTex® Light and CoreTex® 2 enhances the NXS’s exceptional drift, making it an excellent foil kite. In rolling swell, it flies perfectly balanced and is instantly there when you need it.
Four Proven Concepts. One Completely New Model.
The NXS was developed by combining key characteristics from several CORE models. Elements of the Nexus, Pace, Section, and Xlite come together in a kite that stands on its own. The result is a design that intentionally bridges disciplines and performs exactly where they intersect.
Compared to the Nexus, the NXS delivers noticeably stronger boosting performance with clean, controlled landings, while fully retaining its playful all-round character. At the same time, it offers greater agility and improved drift than the more performance-oriented Pace, making it equally at home in waves and on a foil. Smooth power delivery and high control in demanding conditions complete the package.
The Wave-Focused Allrounder
Smooth power delivery and predictable flight behavior
NEW! EXOTEX® 3 LEADING EDGE More stability. More control. More precise handling.
The NXS leading edge is built from CORE’s high‑performance ExoTex® 3 dacron, delivering increased torsional stiffness while maintaining excellent shape stability. The result is calm, controlled flight with precise steering response – even in gusty winds or under heavy load. Especially in waves, ExoTex® 3 inspires confidence and predictability without sacrificing agility.
CORETEX 2® TRIPLE RIPSTOP CANOPY
Consistent performance. Session after session.
Developed exclusively for CORE, the CoreTex® 2 triple ripstop canopy combines high tear resistance with exceptionally low stretch. On the NXS, this ensures a clean, stable canopy profile and consistent power delivery across the entire wind range. The result is a harmonious flying feel with reliable feedback – even after many intense sessions.
3 STRUT LIGHT FRAME Light. Direct. Responsive.
The NXS features a 3 strut design built around an ExoTex® 3 leading edge and lightweight, fast reacting ExoTex® Light struts. Reduced weight enables faster steering response. Less mass improves drift, enhances handling and creates a free, agile flying feel. On the twintip as well as in surf, the NXS delivers playful control and outstanding versatility.

Less mass improves drift, enhances handling and creates a free, agile flying feel. On the twintip as well as in surf, the NXS delivers playful control and outstanding versatility.
MODERATE ASPECT RATIO Balanced geometry. Endless possibilities.
With its moderate aspect ratio, the NXS prioritizes control, predictability,and versatility over maximum projected power. The balanced geometry, combined with the 3‑strut frame, ensures stable flight, improved drift and smooth power delivery – especially in waves and variable conditions.
Surf Profile
Smooth power. Strong drift. Full control.
The surf profile is a defining element of the NXS character. It provides even, controlled power delivery without aggressive spikes and supports stable drift in waves. During down‑the‑line turns and strapless maneuvers, the kite remains predictable and follows the rider cleanly – enabling fluid turns and maximum control in demanding surf conditions.
The NXS tip geometry is a refined fusion of Nexus, Pace and Section DNA. Wider tips enable fast reactions, clean steering input and improved drift. Steering input is translated instantly, without ever feeling twitchy.Ideal for controlled turns, loops and precise kite placement in the wave.
Fixed Tectanium Bridle
Consistent flight behavior. High tolerance.
The fixed bridle keeps the NXS perfectly positioned in the wind window and delivers stable, consistent pull. The kite is less prone to front‑stalling, builds consistent front line tension and is far more forgiving of steering errors. This calm, predictable character truly shines in waves and changing conditions.
CORE UNIQUE DETAILS
HYPERFLOW SYSTEM Pump faster. Get on the water sooner.
CORE’s new HyperFlow system sets new standards in efficiency, cleanliness and serviceability. Larger hoses and strut connections maximize airflow, enabling extremely fast inflation and deflation.
SPEED VALVE Maximum airflow. Easy handling.
The robust Speed Valve is permanently integrated into the leading edge. The pump hose connects directly via bayonet fitting, delivering maximum airflow during inflation. Fast, comfortable, and reliable – exactly what counts when water time is precious.
CORE POWER SEAM Maximum strength where it matters most.
The leading edge is the structural backbone of any kite. With the proven CORE Power Seam, the NXS continues to set benchmarks in durability. Each stitch penetrates and connects multiple material layers, with additional reinforcement in the center closing seam. The result is an exceptionally strong construction you can rely on under extreme load.
INSTANT RELAUNCH Back in the air in seconds.
The combination of low weight, stiff airframe and wide tips enables extremely easy and fast water relaunch. A gentle pull on one steering line is all it takes to bring the NXS reliably back into the sky – a clear advantage in waves, light wind or after maneuvers.
KEVLAR® PATCHES Stronger. Lighter. More agile.
High‑wear zones on the leading edge and struts are reinforced with extremely abrasion‑resistant Kevlar® patches – for maximum protection while helping to keep the kite agile and responsive.
SENSOR 4S Perfectly tuned. Seamlessly connected.
The NXS is perfectly matched to the Sensor 4S Bar. The result is a clean setup with a clearly defined pressure point, direct feedback and high safety. Kite and bar form a harmonious unit, delivering precise steering input, controlled handling and total confidence across all disciplines.
