Are the Core XR Kites for you?

Is the Core XR series kites for you? They are a performance freeride kite...what does that mean? We answer these questions and more. As a 5-strut rigid frame kite the XR kites have a unique feel and performance profile which is why they are excellent in many conditions and for most riders. It is worth the investment for many people. We also discuss why buying new gear to start your kiteboarding adventure makes sense especially if you have a shop like ours that will help you sell your used gear every 2-years.

Rarely sell stuff for 80%. 50% at best but most people like new gear

But if you are telling everyone to buy new instead of second hand, who is buying them off you to recoup your 80%?

You need a lot of demand in the 2nd market to get higher prices. The less people buying 2nd hand, less demand, drops your potential sale price

i have seen the Ozon vortex in a pretty overpowered wind and it did not gelly fished at all. And that is a three strud kite.

Could you help me understand the differences between the 12m 5 strut Flite and 12m XR Pro.
I have owned many XRs and have a quiver of XR7s.
I also own A-series 3 strut Flite 17m & 14.5m- outstanding light wind big kites.
I recently added a 12m Flite, I love the way it flies, but am concerned about its durability- it just blew a strut bladder (similar issue to my 17m- both new kites), makes it hard for me to trust them, plus it feels much less durable than my Cores.
I find the XR7 13.5m and 11m a bit sluggish compared to my OR kites.
I’m considering switching the 12m Flite 5 strut for the XR Pro- what can I expect?

Come on, for real?! Changing kite very two years?! Brands need to realize that the sport can only grow if it reaches the mass market, not the 1%. And I'm talking as a professional instructor. At the moment I don't even have my gear, because if you start to buy gear you just live for this. It's ridiculous these prices on the current market.
