Absolutely love my Core quiver.

First was a 10.5 GTS as second kite under Switchblade 12m.
Felt like a GT sports car after the hefty slow feel of Cabrinha. The short bar throw was the winner for me though as the Switchblade bar was always out of reach on depower or recovery.

Quality I would rate as very good, took a major effort to "Tomahawk" the canopy, only splitting it after a full-bore into the powerzone drink!

Now enjoy best ever light wind sessions on 17m LW, then change to 13.5 XR3 when a bit windier then 11m XR3 for the best ever fun, and an 8m GTS for 25+ kts stuff.

Re-sale, well I do not have a reason to sell my kites, very satisfied ......

Ive been running XR3s for the last 4 seasons. Ive got a 9, 12 & 15. I go kiting at least 2-3 times a week for at least 2 hours at a time. The kites themselfs have never given me a problem at all. They would easily last another 5 seasons i think. I have worn bits of the foam off 2 of the bars and replaced the depower/safety line on 2 of the bars. But all other lines are original. I still have so much fun on them and aint sellin them anytime soon. Once they are completely stuffed ill buy a new one but i dont see that happening anytime soon.

Hi CJ2478,

Yes, North and Core are both manufactured in Aqua Dynamics. I did a tour of the AquaDynamics factory back in early 2013. It's a very professional and high tech factory using all the modern technology. It's a very difficult place to get into as it's within a secured industrial area.

Core and North are of the few companies which can meet or exceed the minimum quantity requirements. This is why none of the smaller brands manufacture there. Both Core and North are superbly built kites of the highest possible quality.

The only people who bag Core are people who have never ridden one.

Not bagging Core.... Just an interesting observation noting the raving about build quality in this thread, whereas sometimes see bagging of North build quality in other threads.
