S2AS Team Quote
"Core never does anything by halves, The new Core XR8 Kite will blow minds."

Quote from one of our Team riders
"The most intuitive Kite I have ever flown" 

The XR8 kite from Core Kites is a team favourite here at S2AS, It boosts like no other, if you are getting a solid 8mtr in height jump on the Core XR7 then you will easily add a meter or two just from the change of kite. But the real boost comes in when you master the timing on the XR8 Kite, That's when you really feel the huge difference the Core XR8 delivers.

The new XR8 is Lighter, Faster and a hell of a lot more user-friendly. After Testing the kite in SA we can safely say that the new XR8 will blow Minds - More info and images coming soon on the release of this totally Awesome kite for 2023.

What Core Say About the New XR8 Kite:

THE ULTIMATE HIGH WITH THE XR8

The Core XR8 is the pinnacle when it comes to big air and unlocks unparalleled performance 

With its ultra-stiff 5-strut frame in a Deltabow shape, this exceptional kite allows you to achieve breathtaking jumps and the longest hang time. Experience an unprecedented level of high ride comfort and control with the XR8's effortless and forgiving handling. 

Explosive jump forces and superior upwind performance are guaranteed with the new XR8 Kite.
Thanks to the significantly stiffer ExoTex 2 material the kite's entire airframe has been fine-tuned and enables smaller leading edge and strut diameters. 

When we say you'll reach new heights, we mean it
The Core XR8 will take your kiting to extraordinary levels. You’ll find that loops are more efficient with an earlier and smoother catch. The CoreTex 2 canopy is both highly durable and has an extremely low stretch. These two features work together to give the canopy unparalleled flight stability, power, and control
