UNCOMPROMISING FOIL PERFORMANCE IN THE WAVE

CORE ELXR Frontwing

With the ELXR front wing, CORE expands its foil range with a dedicated front wing for wave and parawing foiling. Developed to harness wave energy as efficiently as possible, the ELXR delivers efficient glide, precise control, and a surf-oriented riding experience. 

Rather than relying on constant wing power, the ELXR efficiently converts wave energy into forward drive. The rider experience centers on lines, turns, and pure flow. 

"With the ELXR, we didn’t want to develop just another all-round front wing, but a clearly defined specialist for wave foiling. The key question for us was: What should foiling feel like when the wave itself becomes the source of power?" 
— Jan Termöhlen, CORE Development 

 

Developed for flow, not speed 

The ELXR is built around a powerful profile design that generates early lift at low speeds while mantaining speed and energy through turns. Combined with a moderate aspect ratio, it strikes the ideal balance between glide, agility, and control. Reduced pitch stability increases freedom of movement and supports more efficient pumping—an essential factor when linking waves without constant pull. 

The result: a foil that delivers precise control, responsive handling, and a riding experience built around flow. 

 

Clear positioning within the CORE lineup 

The ELXR is not a replacement for existing models, but a targeted addition to the CORE foil range. While the Spectrum and Vert focus on all-round and wind-powered performance, the ELXR is clearly aimed at riders focused on wave foiling and down-the-line riding. 

"Our goal was to further differentiate the lineup consistently. The ELXR represents a new category within our portfolio—dedicated, clearly positioned, and with a well-defined application." 
— Philip Schinnagel, CBO CORE 

Consistent performance across all sizes 

The ELXR is available in a wide size range, not defined by disciplines but by conditions and rider weight. All sizes share the same core character, allowing riders to choose the right size based on wave conditions and rider weight. The ELXR front wing pairs particularly well with mid-length shapes such as the Roamer S from 78 L and the Chase, depending on rider weight and experience level. 

 

Designed for pure wave energy 

Whether paired with the Lotus Parawing or ridden down the line, the ELXR reveals its full potential when wave energy becomes the primary source of propulsion. The result is a new form of foiling: reduced to the essentials, uncompromising in performance, and precisely tuned to the dynamics of real waves.
