DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A Front Wing dedicated to waves
The ELXR is the foil Front Wing designed by CORE for uncompromising wave foiling, where wave energy is paramount. It aims for maximum glide efficiency, free pumping, and a dynamic, surf-oriented ride feel. The goal is simple: directly convert wave energy into forward propulsion, without relying on constant traction, to connect lines in a continuous flow.
Wave-optimized profile
The ELXR's profile is optimized for waves. It generates powerful lift at low speeds, which allows for early take-off. This makes the most of available energy, even when the wave lacks power. This early lift facilitates take-off and connecting sections, while retaining energy throughout turns.
Medium aspect ratio, mastered balance
With a medium aspect ratio of around 8.0 to 8.8 depending on the size, the ELXR strikes a balance between glide, agility, and control. This moderate aspect ratio avoids extremes: enough glide and efficiency to move forward, enough agility for tight turns in the wave, and enough control to remain precise at high speeds.
Efficient pumping for linking waves
The ELXR emphasizes pumping efficiency. It allows you to actively link waves together, even in weaker conditions, when you need to reach the next section using only leg power. This efficiency is at the heart of the wave and downwind program, extending your time on the foil.
Active steering and ventilation resistance
The ELXR offers increased freedom of movement in pitch and roll for dynamic turns. Its pitch stability has been intentionally reduced to promote a more active and efficient ride, serving the surf style. The profile also maintains a stable flow even when the wingtips briefly touch the surface, which limits ventilation stalls during engaged phases.
Carbon Construction and CFS Compatibility
The ELXR is crafted from a multi-layer carbon laminate, with each size individually developed to optimize your ride. The 650, 750, and 1250 Front Wings feature a wood core, while the 850, 950, and 1050 adopt an epoxy core. This Front Wing is 100% compatible with the CORE Foil System (CFS). You can freely combine it with CFS carbon or aluminum masts, fuselages (60 cm for pump and freestyle, 64 cm for freestyle and wave, 70 cm for stability and control), and CFS stabilizers.

FAQ
Who is the ELXR for?
The ELXR is designed for wave foiling and parawing riders, all weights included, who crave a pure glide and active steering in the wave. Its intentionally reduced pitch stability makes it a performance and Surf-oriented Front Wing. For riders 85 kg and above, CORE recommends choosing the next size up.
What are the ELXR's features?
Medium aspect ratio (approx. 8.0 to 8.8) foil Front Wing, wave-optimized profile with early lift at low speed, strong pumping efficiency, reduced pitch stability for active steering and good ventilation resistance. Multi-layer carbon laminate construction, wood core on 650, 750, and 1250, epoxy core on 850, 950, and 1050. Six sizes from 650 to 1250 cm², CFS compatible.
How to choose your size?
Your choice of ELXR Front Wing depends on wave conditions and your weight. Smaller sizes (650, 750) are ideal for medium to steep waves, from chest-high to overhead. Larger sizes (850 to 1250) excel in flat to medium waves, from knee-high to waist-high. If you're a rider of 85 kg or more, consider sizing up for optimal performance.
Which fuselage and stabilizer to choose?
The ELXR is compatible with all CFS components. For fuselages, CORE offers the 60 cm (pumping and freestyle), the 64 cm (freestyle and wave), and the 70 cm (stability and control). For stabilizers: 160 cm² (full speed), 190 cm² (dynamic speed), 220 cm² (balanced agility), and 300 cm² (maximum control).
Which masts is the ELXR compatible with?
The ELXR mounts on CFS masts: the CFS carbon mast for ultimate performance, or the CFS aluminum mast, which is lighter and allround. The entire CORE Foil System is freely combinable.
What's included in the delivery?
The ELXR Front Wing comes with its protective bag. Three M8x22 screws are provided for attachment to the fuselage.
