  • We offer free shipping on orders valued over $200 (a signature is required). Items longer than 1m or heavier than 10kg may need to be sent via a Courier, and cannot be sent to a PO Box. We will contact you if this is the case, and you will need to provide a daytime address where someone can sign for the goods upon delivery.
  • If you return an item that was shipped for free and because you changed you mind, we will deduct a reasonable shipping fee from the refund for the item you returned.

*Free Shipping excludes certain large items, like surfboards wing/sup foil boards and large bulky items like travel bags. 

 

Shipping to Remote locations:

If you purchase a bulky item* and are located in a remote location we will most likely contact you via phone or email to settle on a shipping fee.

In general, if the shipping fee comes out to be more than 10% (full price) or 5% (sale price) of the value of the order we will ask you to pay the difference.

Eg.

  • For full priced orders, if an order has a value of $500 and the most affordable shipping option available is $60 we will request $10 for shipping.
  • For sale priced orders, if an order has a value of $500 and the most affordable shipping option available is $60 we will request $35 for shipping.

*defined as having a packing length longer than 105cm and/or heavier than 2kgs.

Refunds

We will charge a fee (which is simply the non refundable fee charged to Kitepower by the credit card processor) if you use the the payment link on our invoices. The fee is 2.5% of the sale amount and will be deducted from your refund. This condition ONLY applies to payments made through the link on our invoices. 

If you purchase directly from our website and pay via the website there will be no refund fee, and the same applies to PayPal payments as neither of these payment gateways charge non refundable fees on payments.

Core Era – Freeride Board


CORE kicks off the season with a new addition to its twintip lineup: The Era sets the bar for innovation and sustainability. Designed for the joy of freeriding and riders of all levels, the Era transforms first rides into unforgettable experiences and unlocks advanced moves effortlessly.

The Era has been designed to ensure easy access and rapid progress in the sport. Crafted with the high quality, manufacturing and material standards firmly anchored at CORE, customers can look forward to a high-quality freeride board with a wide range of use. It complements CORE’s existing rangeincluding the high-performance twintips Fusion, Choice and Bolt.

Promising the same top level, but at a lower price. With progress at its core, the Era is aimed at a broad target group and suitable for every level.

Era marks a breakthrough in eco-friendly board design

The top-tier performance and maximum durability come directly from the fabric used in the Era. The fabric is extracted from basalt – a natural volcanic effusion. Like glass fibers, basalt can be processed at high temperatures into continuous textile fibers, which boast higher tensile strength, compressive strength, and stiffness. The result? Outstanding cushioning and explosive bounce potential. This means that riders will experience a smoother and more comfortable ride. Furthermore, both energy consumption and CO2 emissions from production are significantly lower than that of glass and carbon fibers. Paired with the Greenpoxy® resin, boasting a 35 percent plant-based composition, the ecological footprint of the Era is significantly lower compared to standard twintips.

Smooth running and effortless upwind glide

Based on the clearly defined requirement profile that emphasizes accessibility and quick progress, the design focus was set accordingly. The concaves and channels come in a very special arrangement. Proven in flow analyses, the water currents are directed in optimized directions. Based on the “Bulbous Bow” from modern shipbuilding, the Era has been given a strikingly wide keel, which also influences the flow patterns in a targeted manner and reduces water resistance. In addition, it effectively breaks the surface tension of the water, which contributes to superior handling, especially in chop. The curved shape of the channels creates a slight Venturi effect and promotes speed. This increases the water pressure in the direction of the tips and optimizes gliding and upwind characteristics.

Playfully easy carving and edging

The Era’s unique parabolic outline is a game-changer in kitesurfing design. The deliberately slimmed tip width ensures effortless handling while generating a harmonious ride experience with unmatched grip during gliding jibes and turns. Compared to Fusion and Choice models, the Era demands only basic rider skills, thanks to its slightly smaller tip width. Plus, the concave at the board’s end enhances edge grip while adding a touch of flair with a subtle spray effect.

Adjustable rocker curve

For the optimal setup, the Era has three rocker lines matched to the board size. At the same time, the concept of the Vee rocker was retained and refined accordingly. The bend is most pronounced in the center of the board and decreases towards the tips. Due to the maximum bend in the center, the board is fast and protrudes far enough out of the water to minimize splashing water and eliminate fin catching.
