Pure.Wave.Passion.

Your passion for waves is off the charts. A day doesn't go by without checking tidal and weather apps because you can't miss a good wave day. Take your passion to a whole new level with the CoreTex 2.0 powered Section 4 - a wave kiter's kite.

WHAT'S NEW?

CORE's surf phenom carries over the proven, 3-strut, Future-C canopy shape from its predecessor with some refinements. The improved Future-C shape, streamlined tips, and no-snag bridle attachments further reduce flutter and improve flight efficiency (better side-off performance). The Section 4 now features CORE's latest CoreTex 2.0 canopy and proven ExoTex Light struts to improve control and stability while reducing weight by over 2%.

NEW! CORETEX 2.0® CANOPY

The marginally lighter canopy fabric features massively improved tear resistance, stiffness, and durability. A new coating process aids stability in higher winds -a big plus- for three strut wave kites. CoreTex 2.0 sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection, and elongation.

NEW! EXOTEX® LIGHT STRUTS

We replaced our ExoTex strut material with ExoTex Light, a super tough yet lighter version of our industry-leading airframe material. It's been real-world tested for 2 years now, so we're confident in its durability. The struts also received minor improvements to the elbow to improve stability.

REFINED! FUTURE-C SHAPE

The latest generation Section carries over the proven, 3-strut, Future-C canopy shape from its predecessor with a few refinements. The tip geometry between the bridle point and control line was refined to improve feedback and aerodynamics. The improved Future-C shape, streamlined tips, and CoreTex 2.0 canopy further improve flight efficiency (better side-off performance).

EXOTEX® LIGHT STRUTS NEW!

After extensive evaluation, we replaced our ExoTex strut material with ExoTex Light, a super tough yet lighter version of our industry-leading airframe material. It's been real-world tested for 2 years now, so we're confident in its durability. The struts also received minor improvements to the elbow to improve stability. Try the new Section, and you'll immediately feel the kite is definitely zippier.

CIT MODES

Our CIT Modes calibrate the Section to wind direction. Three, anti-snag bridle attachment points make kite adjustments for onshore wind, allround conditions, and offshore wind. The onshore setting sits the kite deeper in the wind window, giving it more grunt and better drift. The offshore setting sits the kite more forward in the wind window, giving it higher depower and faster forward speed.
Turning speed and steering feel is a matter of choice. Your choice. With three adjustable back line connection points, our quick adjusting trim system gives you the freedom to further customize your bar feel and turning speed to suit your style. So go ahead and play with your trim settings and find your inner wave ninja.

SHORT BRIDLE SYSTEM

Short and sweet. 

The Section's super short (and snagless) bridle system improves feedback, so you have a better feel for your kite's position. The Section pivots just off the wingtip resulting in super smooth loops regardless of size. In the larger kite sizes, this reflexivity increases even more so. Just imagine a kite that practically anticipates every turn, as if it's hot-wired to your brain.

ULTRALIGHT 3 STRUT FRAME

Lightweight greatness. The Section's proven airframe saves weight, creates superb lightwind balance and impressive slack-line drifting. Although lighter than the Section 3, this year's frame is still big-wave approved.

SURF PROFILE

The maximum camber is shifted further back, and its aspect ratio is lowered (that means it's a little fatter) than the Nexus to improve drifting. Give it gas, and the Section comes alive!

REFINED! RADICAL REACTION TIPS

For catlike reflexes on monsters. The Section's wingtip is shaped for pure wave riding magic. Enjoy the confidence-inspiring reflexes, agility, and directional control in waves of all sizes. This year, we further refined the shape of the tip corner to improve its reflexes.

INSTANT RELAUNCH

Instant relaunch is critical when you have a menacing wave that is about to eat your kite. We designed the kite to find its relaunch position in a jiffy. Wave riders will appreciate how well the kite releases from the water with a quick tug, especially when time is of the essence. Go ahead and try that strapless 360 'cuz your Section has your back.

SPEED VALVE 2

No special hose adapter is needed here! 

The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose. The Speed Valve 2 maximizes airflow, minimizes inflation times, and noticeably reduces pump pressure. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even leave your electric pump at home.

SPEED PUMP SYSTEM

Fully pumped in no time. The short and direct large diameter air hoses improve airflow and reduce weight. When you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts.

GRINTEX® PATCHES

Anti-wear patches where you need them most. 

Extreme abrasion-resistant patches on leading-edge segment seams and struts give the Section another level of protection from perfectly placed beach hazards.

SENSOR BAR READY

The Section 4 is optimized for CORE’s ultralight Sensor bar systems including our latest Sensor 3. They feature precise kite control, unmatched safety, and uncluttered simplicity. Find out more about the new Sensor 3 features like Live Wire, Stealth Winders, and the CIC push-out quick release here.
