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 7-8 psi. With smaller
kites, with thinner leading edges (LE), err towards
8 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
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 you have leaky bladders or tears in your kite,
repair them before flying.
4. Check ALL kite, harness, control bar lines,
webbing, pigtails, bridles, the chicken loop and

Each CORE kite is delivered with the

are however able to trim your CORE kite to suit your
personal preferences and requirements.
CIT MODES: WAVE – ALLROUND – FREESTYLE
We take pride in the signature bar feedback we build
into every CORE kite. The unique XR7 CIT (CORE
Intelligent Trim) brings bar feedback customization to
a whole new level with three settings: Wave. Allround.
And Freestyle. Each setting adjusts the kite’s perfor-
mance 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 deli-
very. Bar pressure goes up a notch while steering
forces remain low. This setting will raise the game
of every wave rider.
The
[ FREESTYLE ]
setting puts the kite deeper into
the wind window. Here, the XR7 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. XR7 CIT.
Another innovative feature brought to you by CORE.
Experiment with every setting
TRIMMING THE BAR PRESSURE, TRIMMING THE KITE
FEEDBACK
With these trim options you can determine the
kite’s feedback through the bar. The standard
setting is the middle knot. This setting allows for
the perfect compromise between medium bar
pressure and good kite feedback. If you attach
the bridle closer to the middle of the kite, the bar
pressure increases slightly and the kite feedback
is increased. If you attach the bridle closer to the
tip of the kite, the bar pressure decreases and
the kite feedback is slightly reduced. This feature
is unique to CORE kites. Experiment with all the
different trim options.
