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.
LINE LENGTH CHECK
You should check your line lengths on a regular
basis. Attach all 4 flying line ends on a hook.
When the adjuster is open fully and you pull the
bar towards your body all lines have to be the
same length.

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.
CIT MODES: WAVE – ALLROUND – FREESTYLE
We take pride in the signature bar feedback we
build into every CORE kite. The unique Xlite 2 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 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 Xlite 2 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.
Xlite 2 CIT. Another innovative feature brought to
you by CORE. Experiment with every setting! And
above all, enjoy your new kite!
