CHOICE 3 Kiteboard

CORE Kiteboarding is pleased to announce the release of its third generation Choice twintip after two years of intensive development.The Choice is CORE’s high-performance freestyle allrounder that is fun to ride in straps or boots. It is challenging to build a legacy of board building excellence over time. And yet, for 35 years one company has managed to do just that. CORE and Carved Customs haveconsistently manufactured boards with  innovative  designs,  proprietary materials and the highest quality. After six generations of improvements, the iconic Carved Customs’ Imperator 6 is prized for its high performance and state-of-the-art technology. The know-how gained over six generations of board building benefits all CORE products. And today, this know-how is seen in the new Gen3 of the Choice. Leveraging proven board construction.  Only now, the boards are even lighter  without  reducing  carbon  orwood  content. CORE’s proprietary 30° biaxial carbon fiber weave optimizes board torsion and longitudinal flex in a way traditional 90° carbon fiber cannot. The 12,000 filament, low resin carbon fiber is responsible for much of CORE’s signature board feel.This build method encourages good flex when gybing, controlling chop; and reduces  bad  flex  (aka  negative  rocker)  when  landing  hard  or freestyling. Choice 3: CORE’s freestyle machine for all.The Choice 3’s chameleon-like ability to adapt to its rider andwater conditions places the Choice 3 in a category of its own. A  category  reserved  for  boards  that  perform  equally  well  in
straps or boots. One that provides a high level of freeriding potential  without  sacrificing  freestyle  requirements.  A  board that is equally comfortable in rough chop as it is in buttery smooth lagoons. And a board that is perhaps even more fun to ride without fins. “The new Choice 3 can do it all in comfort.” CORE board designer DanielBorchertcontinues, “The Choice 3 is a  smart  decision  if  you  ever  picture  yourself  in  boots  or unhooking.”The new board features more channeling to improve traction and speed.  The  deeper  channels  further  reduce  the  wetted  surface area and therefore hydrodynamic drag. A new full length, double concave,  deep  vee  hull  cuts  through  chop  and  delivers  an amazingly comfortable ride. And a glossy, UV blocking, topcoat finishes off the board. Although form always follows function at CORE, the new Choice 3 turns heads.
