CORE INTELLIGENT TRIM SYSTEM
Each CORE kite is delivered with the optimum
all-round trim settings. You are however
able to trim your CORE kite to suit your personal
preferences and requirements.
Trimming the
bar pressure & kite feedback
standard
CIT MODES: WAVE – ALLROUND – FREESTYLE
We take pride in the signature bar feedback we
build into every CORE kite. The unique XR 8 CIT
(CORE Intelligent Trim) brings bar feedback custo-
mization to a whole new level with three settings:
Wave. Allround. And Freestyle. Each setting adjusts
the kite's performance to match your preferred
riding style. The WAVE setting delivers massive
depower and fast turns. Exceptional drift and
responsive flying characteristics complement its
smooth power delivery. Bar pressure goes up a
notch while steering forces remain low. This setting
will raise the game of every wave rider.
more backline tension
less backline tension
The FREESTYLE setting puts the kite deeper into
the wind window. Here, the XR 8 generates a steady
pull, progressive power delivery, and wider turns
which supports unhooking and powered kiteloops.
This setting also reduces bar pressure and slightly
increases steering forces.
The standard ALLROUND setting is the middle knot.
This point is a sweet combination most riders prefer
and is a great place to start.
XR 8 CIT. Another innovative feature brought to you
by CORE. Experiment with every setting! And above
all, enjoy your new kite!

Trimming the turning speed
TRIMMING THE TURNING SPEED
You are able to change the turning speed of the
kite at the kite tip. The closer the flying lines are
attached to the kite tip, the faster your kite will
turn.
Unhooked wakestylers and beginners select
the front position for medium turning speed
(MEDIUM).
For freeriders we would recommend the middle
setting for quick turning speed (EASY).
The wave riding mode – the back position –

und die niedrigsten Barkräfte
reserved for experts (SUPER EASY).
PUMP UP YOUR KITE PROPERLY
With pressure gauge: watch the needle and
pump up your kite between 7-9 psi. With smaller

kites, with thinner leading edges (LE), err towards
9 psi whilst with a bigger kites and correspondin-
gly thicker LE err towards 7 psi.
If you don't have a gauge just follow this simple
test: hold the (floating) kite in front of you and
flick your finger against the kite. If the kite makes
a "Pong" sound the pressure is not enough and
you'll need to pump it up a little more. If, on
the other hand, you hear a "Ping" the pressure
is perfect and you're good to go! If the "Ping"
sounds a little metallic you have pumped the kite
up too hard and you'll need to release some air
from the kite.
Be aware that inflating your kite with more or
less pressure than recommended might cause
damage to the kite.
PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
1. Make sure your launch is open, free of down-
wind bystanders, hard objects, nearby power
lines, buildings and walls, within at least 200 ft.
(60 m), and preferably more. Some riders have
needed in excess of 500 ft. (170 m), to regain
control in violent dragging or loftings. Avoid
kiteboarding near airports and in low flight path
areas, complaints have led to restricted access
in some areas.
2. Check to see what kite size other kiteboarders
are rigging and get their input on conditions. Do
not rig too large a kite for conditions and carefully
