Every single CORE kite is a small masterpiece of manufacturing quality. Core shows how they produce their kites and control bars in their exclusive production in Sri Lanka. From the prototype to the complete model - from the big roll of cloth to the flying kite: a maximum of precision and innovation.
"German engineering"

I wonder if those factory workers even know what it is they're making... I mean if they did you'd think they'd steal one and never be seen again

Yeah, I can see there being a huge demand for kites in Sri Lanka, I mean, what with all the leisure time they have and all after working a 12 hour day in the factory...

Seriously - it looks like a high standard workplace with good working conditions - I bet if you were Sri Lankan and landed a job there you wouldn't be too keen to go jeopardising it by stealing a kite that might give you a couple of months pay!

haha they prolly got some good kiters down there already if just a few workers do that..

I reckon it looks like a nice place to work at.

nah if I was Sri Lanken I'd probably become a monk

Nah if i was Sri Lankan I'd jump on a boat and head for Christmas island.

Core has the one of the lowest reclamation rates in the industry.

You see why in the vid

Pipmidy Boll-ocks!!

Sure it looks like a nice factory and good conditions but what a kn total pimp of a post.

Aside from the commercial aspect;
As a trimmer with some sailmaking experience & product designer, I thoroughly enjoyed that vid.
I love knowing how things work/are made.

Sick video - I wanna see the chinese folding technique they use to fold the kites up before they go into plastic and get shipped off - I reckon most kites never get packed down that small ever again!

Imagine running the bars out (As the core bars need to be threaded through a ring - not just larks headed) Think of the blisters and callouses those guys would have...

Imagine sitting behind that bladder melting machine - with the fumes all day from melted latex (or whatever they make them out of)...

A lot of work there - great to see how it's all made...



For those who liked that - check out a similar video from Ozone...
