CORE Lotus Parawing

Wave Foiling Freedom. Pure Single-Skin Performance.

The CORE Lotus is a purpose-built single-skin parawing designed from the ground up for wave foiling. Combining high efficiency, exceptional stability, and intuitive handling, the Lotus makes it easy to focus on reading the wave while the wing does the work. Whether you’re a progressive rider chasing performance or someone building confidence on the foil, the Lotus rewards smooth technique and forgives the inevitable mistakes along the way.

CORE’s engineers have optimised every detail of the Lotus for the specific demands of wave riding — a high-aspect planform for maximum upwind efficiency, Nitinol reinforcements in the leading edge for shape retention without added weight, and a carefully blended material mix that keeps the pack size small and the kite light in hand.

Key Features

• Wave Foiling Focus — Purpose-designed for wave foiling with handling characteristics tuned for swell reading and reactive repositioning
• Single-Skin Design — Modern single-skin construction delivers high efficiency, low pack size, and minimal weight for easy transport and quick launches
• Nitinol Leading Edge Reinforcements — Shape-memory alloy wire maintains the leading edge arc without added weight, preserving the kite’s aerodynamic profile across the full size range
• High Aspect Ratio — Efficient planform generates strong upwind drive, making it easier to maintain position and connect runs
• Forgiving Flight Characteristics — Stable, predictable flight supports progression — the Lotus catches you when you’re on the back foot
• Strong Upwind Capability — Efficient design and high aspect ratio give the Lotus excellent upwind performance for its size and category
• Optimised Material Blend — Balanced fabric selection prioritises longevity, pack size, and weight in equal measure
• Pre-Assembled Ready to Fly — Includes bar, harness line, backpack with tool compartment, repair set, and manual
• 4 Sizes — 2.5m to 4.8m covers a wide range of wind conditions and rider weights

Construction

The Lotus uses CORE’s optimised single-skin construction — a carefully chosen fabric blend that balances longevity, minimal pack size, and low weight. The leading edge is reinforced with Nitinol wire, a shape-memory alloy that holds its position across repeated use without adding meaningful weight. The high-aspect planform is constructed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, ensuring the Lotus performs as well in marginal conditions as it does when the wind is pumping.

Why We Recommend It

The Lotus is the parawing for riders who want to focus on the wave, not the wing. Its stable, forgiving character removes the mental overhead of kite management so you can read the swell, pick your line, and fly. At the same time, the high-aspect efficiency and strong upwind capability mean experienced riders will find plenty to love — the Lotus doesn’t hold back when you’re ready to push.
