Parawinging shifts the focus from the wing to the wave. This is exactly where the Lotus comes into play. Strong upwind performance gets riders back to the peak efficiently and positions them for the next wave. Once stashed, the real advantage unfolds: pure foiling without pull in your hands. Less inertia, less drag, more freedom of movement. 

The result is a riding experience that comes closer to surf foiling than a traditional wing setup. 

Single-skin design for maximum control 

"The Lotus is based on a modern single-skin design with a carefully balanced combination of performance and accessibility. An efficient profile combined with a high aspect ratio delivers consistent pull, high speed, and convincing upwind performance," explains Florian Heldens, Kite & Wing Developer at CORE. 

At the same time, flight characteristics remain balanced, controllable, and forgiving – even in gusty conditions or during the learning phase. A parawing that safely picks up beginners while also exciting experienced riders looking to push their limits. 

Material and setup engineering for real-world conditions 

A optimized material mix using CoreTex Light Canopy combines a stable front section with a lighter rear section for easier handling and improved stashability. 

Reinforced ribs ensure shape retention and smooth, predictable flight behavior. The setup is deliberately simple: 

• Stiffer lines minimize tangling and improve control 
• Different line diameters optimize grip and reduce drag 
• The line bridge ensures a clean system with greater freedom for the hands 

Titanium technology for shape stability and durability 

A key technical differentiator of the Lotus is its Nitinol reinforcements in the leading edge. This high-performance, titanium-based material ensures exceptional shape stability and reliably returns to its original form after stress. 

Curved bar for intuitive handling and fast progression 

The curved bar promotes a natural hand position and supports precise steering during starts, steering inputs, and stashing.
