Core EQ 1 Fin Set

FAQ

What is the Core EQ 1 Fin Set 48mm suitable for?

The Core EQ 1 Fin Set 48mm is the right choice for twintip kiteboards if you are looking for more grip for big air, fast carving, and effortless riding upwind. The 48mm version offers more control and stability at higher speeds.

What is included in the delivery of the Core EQ 1 Fin Set?

The set consists of four fins, including matching screws and washers – so everything you need for changing or installing them on the twintip for the first time.

Does the Core EQ 1 Fin Set also fit boards from other brands?

Yes, the EQ 1 fins are designed as replacement fins for kiteboards and also fit twintips from other manufacturers, as long as the fin mounting system is compatible.

What advantage does the EQ fin offer compared to standard fins?

Unlike standard fins, the grip of the EQ fin remains constant even as speed increases. This allows the fin to release cleanly even at full speed, and you can switch more smoothly between turns without the fin catching unintentionally.

How light is the Core EQ 1 fin?

The EQ fin is designed with a hollow interior and therefore weighs about 30 percent less than the classic Equalizer fin. This saves weight on the board and improves responsiveness.

Why does the Core EQ 1 fin have a rough surface?

The defined surface roughness is a deliberate technical choice: in turbulent flow, it minimizes drag and at the same time increases maneuverability – so it is not an unfinished surface, but a functional feature.

Which riding style is the 48mm fin better suited for?

The 48mm fin provides more grip, more height upwind, and more security at high speeds and during jumps. Those who prefer a more freestyle-oriented, looser board feel will likely opt for the 42mm version.

How do I properly care for the Core EQ 1 fins?

Rinse the fins with fresh water after every session, especially after riding in salt water, and regularly check the screws and washers to ensure they are securely fastened and free from corrosion. This will preserve their lightweight properties and grip over time.
