About this kite
The Air is one of two brand-new light-wind kites Core introduced for 2026: a dedicated low-wind platform engineered to plane early, park upwind and keep twintip sessions alive when the forecast underdelivers. It slots below the specialist Air Pro as the accessible light-wind choice.
