Data sheet updated in October 2026
The CORE Era is CORE's go-to freeride twintip for all skill levels, built around a Paulownia Light core wrapped in basalt fabric. CORE designed it for instant comfort: a parabolic outline with refined tips, Vee rocker, and a wide central keel to slice through chop. It's sold as board only. Fins, handle, pads, and straps are chosen separately. This allows you to customize it for your riding style.
KEY INFORMATION
CORE ERA - All-level Freeride Twintip
What we like
- Basalt fabric: This continuous fiber, drawn from volcanic rock, offers superior resistance to both tension and compression compared to fiberglass, according to CORE. It absorbs shocks and boosts pop.
- Paulownia Light: CORE hand-selects the lightest paulownia strips, reducing core density by 21% and saving up to 250g, according to the brand, all without sacrificing strength.
- Quick to master: With narrower tips than the Fusion and Choice, this board demands less technique. You'll quickly find your bearings from your very first sessions after kite school.
- Upwind performance: Channels and concaves guide water under the hull shape. The board glides efficiently and maintains its course upwind.
- Chop handling: The voluminous central keel, inspired by the bulbous bow of ships, significantly reduces drag.
- Domed deck pop: The hull's concave is mirrored on the deck. This design makes the center stiffer and limits counter-flex when you're loading the edge or landing flat.
- Greenpoxy resin: 35% of the molecules in Greenpoxy 33 resin are plant-based.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Who is it for?
The CORE Era is all about no-fuss freeriding. CORE positions it alongside the Fusion and Choice in their lineup, but with narrower tips and a more forgiving character. It only requires basic riding skills. A rider fresh out of kite school will quickly feel at home on it, while an advanced rider will find it a comfortable board for long sessions.
Basalt and Paulownia
The core, made from selected Paulownia wood strips, is wrapped in basalt fabric, a continuous fiber derived from volcanic rock. According to CORE, its manufacturing consumes less energy and emits less CO2 than glass or carbon. On the water, this translates to a dampened ride and a bouncy pop.
Three-version Vee rocker
The rocker varies with size. There are three distinct curves across the range. The curvature is maximal in the center and gradually decreases towards the tips. This design keeps the board fast and lifts it sufficiently out of the water to minimize spray, all without the fins catching.
Parabolic outline
The refined tips make handling easy and provide excellent grip during jibes and turns. A concave at the board's ends enhances edge hold. It creates a small spray as you pass.
Hull and deck
The hull's channels and concaves direct water for optimal glide and upwind performance. A wide central keel breaks surface tension and smooths out chop. The domed deck mirrors the hull's concave, stiffening the center.
Sold as board only, ready for outfitting
The CORE Era comes without fins, handle, pads, or straps. CORE designed the EQ 48 mm fin set specifically for it: a wide base, consistent grip with speed, and a hollow fin that's 30% lighter than the Equalizer, according to the brand. This board is designed for pads and straps, not boots.

FAQ - CORE ERA
The CORE Era is for riders who want an easy freeride twintip. It's perfect for those fresh out of school with basic riding skills, as well as more experienced riders seeking comfort. For pure big air or advanced freestyle, CORE recommends the Fusion and Choice boards.
You'll receive the board only. Fins, handle, pads and straps, and bag must be purchased separately. We recommend the CORE EQ 48 mm fin set and the Grabhandle EQ handle, both available in the product accessories.
CORE doesn't publish a weight range per size. Smaller sizes offer more maneuverability. Larger boards plane earlier and provide more confidence in light wind or for heavier riders. Tell us your weight and spot, and we'll guide you to the perfect size.
First, comfort: basalt dampens shocks in choppy water. Next, you'll get excellent upwind performance, thanks to the hull's channels and concaves. Finally, this board delivers a crisp pop for its level, which CORE attributes to the domed deck.
Rinse your board with fresh water after each session. Let it dry in the shade, then store it in a bag. Periodically check the tightness of your fins and pads screws.
You'll need the CORE EQ 48 mm fins set and EQ Grabhandle, as they are not included. For your feet, CORE offers Union Comfort, Union Pro 5, and Ultra 2. Complete your setup with the WOO Big Air Handle and an ION bag.
