2026 CORE CFS ELXR Front Wing
Uncompromising flow, efficient glide and powerful pumping for riders who want to turn wave energy directly into forward drive.
The 2026 CORE CFS ELXR Front Wing is a dedicated mid-aspect wave and parawing foil wing built for riders chasing a free, surf-oriented feel. Its powerful profile creates early lift at low speed, maintains energy through turns and supports efficient pumping between waves without relying on constant pull from a wing or parawing. With a moderate aspect ratio, reduced pitch stability and high resistance to ventilation, the ELXR balances glide, agility and control for dynamic carving, connected rides and pure foil flow.

Why You’ll Love the CORE ELXR
Built Around Pure Wave Energy
The ELXR converts wave energy into forward drive, helping you maintain speed and flow without needing constant pull from a hand wing or parawing.
Early Lift at Low Speed
Its powerful foil profile generates useful lift early, helping riders get flying in smaller waves, slower swell and lighter wind conditions.
Efficient Wave-to-Wave Pumping
Reduced pitch stability and a pump-focused profile let the foil move freely through the water, making it easier to carry speed and connect sections.
Dynamic Surf-Style Turning
The moderate aspect ratio balances glide with roll freedom, allowing fast direction changes, tight carving and a more active surf-inspired ride.
Wave & Parawing Performance
Efficient Glide
The ELXR carries speed through flatter sections and between waves, helping extend rides and reduce the effort needed to remain on foil.
Powerful Pumping
A low-speed lift profile and freer pitch response help transform rider input into forward movement for efficient wave connections.
High Maneuverability
Greater freedom in pitch and roll gives riders the control needed for dynamic bottom turns, cutbacks and surf-style direction changes.
Controlled Tip Breaches
High resistance to ventilation helps the foil maintain controlled flow if a wingtip briefly breaches the surface during hard carving.

Which ELXR Size Should You Choose?
650 — Maximum Speed & Control
Best for lighter or highly skilled riders in strong wind and steeper, more powerful waves who want the tightest turns and least surface area.
750 — Powered Wave Performance
A strong choice for medium-to-strong wind, steeper waves and experienced riders who want speed with slightly more low-end support than the 650.
850 — Versatile Performance Size
A broad-range option that balances glide, pumping and maneuverability for many riders across small-to-medium waves and varied wind strengths.
950 — Glide & Easy Connections
Designed for riders wanting stronger low-speed lift, efficient pumping and easy wave connections without losing the ELXR’s surf-oriented turning character.
1050 — Light-Wind Wave Flow
A higher-lift option for smaller or flatter waves, light wind and riders who prioritize early takeoff and sustained glide.
1250 — Maximum Low-Speed Support
The largest ELXR provides the earliest lift and greatest low-speed support for heavier riders, very light wind, small swell and prone-entry sessions.
Shape & Performance Concept
Profile-Driven Design
CORE built the ELXR around its foil profile rather than chasing aspect ratio alone, prioritizing useful low-speed lift, energy retention and dynamic riding.
Moderate Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratios from approximately 8.0 to 8.8 balance efficient glide with roll response, pumpability and surf-style control.
Reduced Pitch Stability
Less locked-in pitch behavior gives the rider greater freedom to pump, redirect and follow the shape of the wave.
Consistent DNA Across Every Size
Every ELXR size is tuned to preserve the same core handling character, so selection is based mainly on rider weight, conditions and wave size rather than discipline.
Carbon Construction
Multi-Layer Carbon Laminate
A multi-layer carbon laminate balances low weight, structural stiffness and durability for direct response and consistent foil performance.
Individually Engineered Sizes
Each surface area has its own optimized shape and internal construction, preserving the intended ELXR handling across the complete range.
Wood-Core Sizes
The 650, 750 and 1250 use a wood-core construction selected to achieve the desired balance of flex, strength and response.
Epoxy-Core Sizes
The 850, 950 and 1050 use an epoxy core. CORE states that both internal constructions deliver the same riding characteristics.
CORE Compatible Foil System
Full CFS Compatibility
The ELXR works with all CORE CFS masts, fuselages and stabilizers, allowing riders to build and tune a complete foil around their preferred riding style.
Carbon or Aluminum Mast
Pair the ELXR with a CFS Carbon Mast for maximum stiffness and response or a CFS Aluminum Mast for a durable, versatile and value-focused setup.
Recommended ELXR Setups
Maximum Surf Freedom
Pair the ELXR with the 60cm CFS fuselage and 160cm² stabilizer for greater pitch freedom, efficient pumping and the most dynamic surf-oriented feel.
Choppy-Water Stability
Use the 64cm fuselage with the 190cm² stabilizer for more stability across pitch, roll and yaw while retaining responsive wave performance.
More Stability & Control
Larger stabilizers and longer fuselages increase control and tracking but reduce some of the ELXR’s loose, agile and surf-oriented character.
Recommended Board Style
CORE recommends midlength foil boards such as the Roamer S from 78L or the Chase, with final board volume selected around rider weight and skill.
