Freeride + | Freestyle | Big Air
New from the water up, the Fusion 5 features an upgraded hull, wood core, and never-been-done-before rail construction. The new shape and improved torsional stability will have you woohoo-ing like never before. So grab an XR7 and explore your new limits.
The Core Fusion 5 comes now with a new 3D Paulownia wood core. This wood is lighter and also the shape has been improved to save some extra weight on it. Thanks to the strips of Cartan Carbon, the board has some extra stiffness for a direct and playful feel. These strips of carbon provide enough flex in the longitudinal axis to absorb the chop, but enough stiffness to pop well and jump high. Core has used a new Unibody Edge Construction to connect top and bottom layer of the board to make it extra solid.
VEE ROCKER
The Fusion 5’s rocker is more pronounced under your feet and progressively reduces towards the tips. This knowhow borrows from the Imperator - Carved's masterpiece.
FEATURES
CARTAN® carbon
Exclusive to Core
Our proprietary 30° biaxial carbon fiber layup optimizes torsion and flex with more flex along the length of the board and less flex between the toe and heel. Cartan carbon's unique high filament count also requires less resin which saves weight. Enjoy improved pop, softer landings, and extreme durability with Cartan
NEW! UNIBODY EDGE
High-end racing ski sidewall technology finds its way to twintips. An industry first and more expensive foil, the carbon and thermoset resin process massively improves the connection between the top and bottom Cartan carbon for a true unibody build. We replaced the previous internal ABS edge strip that joins the top and bottom carbon sheets with a new 80 layer, laminated, resin-activated strip that is much harder, stiffer and better bonding. The new edge improves torsional rigidity and also stores and releases more energy than before
NEW! PAULOWNIA LIGHTER WOOD CORE
Powerfully light, marine-grade, laminated wood core. All wood has natural variation in density and volumetric weight. We now select the lowest weight laminations before gluing them together. In doing so, the specially selected, long-grained Paulownia wood is 250g lighter and just as strong as the last generation. It gives our boards dimensional stability, decay resistance and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. The Paulownia extends towards the board's edges and is CNC milled both top and bottom.
48MM G10 Cutback FINS
A perfect balance between tracking and freestylin' magic. The impact-resistant, G10 fiberglass fins have just the right amount of tracking stability without getting too much in the way of switches.

V-SHAPED KEEL
EARLY GLIDE, PILLOW SOFT LANDINGS.Inspired by the legendary handling of deep V powerboats in rough waters, we added a deep V-shaped keel along the entire length of the board to penetrate chop and smooth your ride. Who doesn't like pillow-soft landings?
BEVELLED DECK
REDUCED REVERSE FLEX AND BETTER PLANING. The Fusion 5 features a 6-degree beveled deck edge from tip to tip that blends into the Katana channels. The bevel decreases longitudinal flex for more pop, reduced reverse flex, and more powerful edging. Now we’re talking!
