DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Intuitive handling, with a clear focus on wave riding.
The CORE Lotus is your perfect entry into the world of parawing, engineered with a clear focus on wave foiling, simple handling, and maximum stability. It's designed for riders who want to effortlessly reach the wave and ride it freely, without a wing in hand, and without any complexity or frustration. This parawing primarily targets wingfoilers and foilers discovering parawing who want to concentrate their sessions on the wave. Its stable and predictable behavior inspires confidence from your very first take-off all the way to riding the clean wave.
Modern single-skin construction with a high aspect ratio.
The Lotus features a modern single-skin construction. Its higher aspect ratio, compared to many parawings on the market, combined with a profile designed for stability and consistent traction, gives it high efficiency and convincing upwind performance. This geometry lets you ride smaller sizes without sacrificing power or control. Its flight behavior remains calm and forgiving, even in gusty conditions or during the learning phase, positioning it as an allround parawing with a clear focus on waves.
Nitinol reinforcements in the Leading Edge.
The technical signature of the Lotus lies in its Nitinol battens, integrated into the Leading Edge. This high-performance titanium-based material, derived from paragliding, stands out for its exceptional shape stability and memory effect. Even under load, the Leading Edge remains stable and automatically returns to its original shape after each stash. The result is enhanced durability, consistent behavior, clean reopening of the parawing, and added control.
Curved bar for precise steering.
The Lotus's curved bar offers a more natural hand position, especially when the parawing is overpowered. It supports calm steering of the parawing and facilitates precise control when launching, directing, or stashing the parawing. This keeps your hands free and allows for fluid movement during transitions, without fighting the equipment.
Stiffer lines and Line Bridge system.
The Lotus uses stiffer lines than classic Kite setups, to limit tangles and simplify handling. In the lower section, the lines are deliberately thicker to improve grip and control, then taper upwards to reduce drag. The Line Bridge routes the central line over the bar, for a clean setup and more freedom for your hands.
Canopy and optimized material mix.
The Lotus's canopy uses a carefully balanced mix of materials from paragliding. At the front, a stiffer, more stable fabric ensures shape retention and constant traction, while at the rear, a lighter, more flexible material optimizes handling, ease of stash, and overall weight. Ribs with reinforced coating add structural stiffness. The result is calm and predictable flight, controlled pressure build-up, and careful longevity, with a good balance between weight, compactness, and durability.

FAQ
Who is the CORE Lotus for?
The Lotus targets foilers and wingfoilers discovering parawing, who want to focus their sessions on wave riding. Its simple handling, stable flight, and maximum stability inspire confidence from the first sessions, from take-off to the wave.
What are the characteristics of the Lotus?
Single-skin construction with high aspect ratio, Nitinol reinforcements on the Leading Edge, pre-assembled curved bar, rigid lines with Line Bridge, and a canopy made from a mix of paragliding materials. It is available in 4 sizes (2.5, 3.2, 4.0 and 4.8 m²), white color.
How to choose your size?
The size range is designed according to wind strength and rider weight. Indicative wind ranges communicated by CORE: the 2.5 from 21 to 35 knots, the 3.2 from 18 to 31, the 4.0 from 15 to 27, the 4.8 from 12 to 22. The 4.8 is primarily intended for heavier riders, not as a dedicated light wind size.
What's included in the delivery?
The Lotus comes with a pre-assembled bar, a harness line, a travel bag with integrated tool compartment, a repair kit, and a manual.
What are Nitinol reinforcements for?
Nitinol is a high-performance titanium-based material, originally from paragliding, known for its shape stability and memory effect. Integrated into the Leading Edge, it maintains its shape under load and automatically returns to its original shape after each stash, for greater durability, consistent handling, and clean reopening.
What are the benefits of single-skin construction?
The high aspect ratio single-skin offers high efficiency, strong upwind performance, and contained weight. This geometry allows you to ride smaller sizes without sacrificing power or control, while maintaining calm and forgiving behavior.
How to maintain your Lotus?
Let the kite dry in the shade before storing it, avoid storing it wet or folded for long periods, regularly check the condition of the lines and attachment points, and store it away from direct UV rays in its travel bag.
