CIT MODES: OFFSHORE – ALLROUND – ONSHORE
We take pride in the signature bar feedback we
build into every CORE kite. The unique Section 5 CIT
(CORE Intelligent Trim) brings bar feedback
customization to a whole new level with three
settings: Offshore – Allround – Onshore. Each
setting adjusts the kite's performance to match
your preferred riding style.
The OFFSHORE 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.
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
The ONSHORE setting puts the kite deeper into
the wind window. Here, the Section 5 generates a
steady pull, progressive power delivery, and wider
turns. 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.
CIT. Another innovative feature brought to you by
CORE. Experiment with every setting! And above all,
enjoy your new kite!

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 – with

the quickest turning speed is

reserved for experts (SUPER EASY).

PUMP UP YOUR KITE PROPERLY
With pressure gauge: watch the needle and
pump up your kite between 8-9 psi. With smaller
kites, with thinner leading edges (LE), err
towards 9 psi whilst with a bigger kites and

PRESSURE IN PSI

correspondingly thicker LE err towards 8 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
consider advice of more experienced riders.
Failure to act on prudent advice has cost some
riders severe injury.
3. Check your kite for tears or leaky bladders. If
