About this kite

The Section is Core's dedicated wave kite: parked-and-forgotten drift while you work the face, instant repositioning when the section demands it, and a frame that shrugs off shorebreak abuse. Strapless riders praise how completely it disappears overhead — the highest compliment a wave kite earns.
