CORE’s sportiest twintip, built for big air and freestyle: hard load-up before take-off, clean release and control on hard landings. Board only: grab handle, fins, pads and straps sold separately.
The CORE Choice 7 is the sportiest twintip in CORE’s range, built for big air and hooked or unhooked freestyle. CORE designed it to load up hard before take-off, release cleanly from the water and stay controlled at speed and on hard landings. This is the board only: no grab handle, fins, pads or straps.
CORE kept the proven Choice 6 shape and changed what’s inside it. The Choice 7 gets a new Cartan Triax carbon layup (30° carbon layers combined with a 0° layer), which CORE says gives higher rebound, a faster response and a sportier feel. It is around 200 g (7 oz) lighter than the Choice 6, has a Vee rocker re-tuned to the new layup, and uses the carbon-wrapped Unibody Edge Light rail from the Fusion 7.
| Size | Length × width | CORE’s tuning focus |
|---|---|---|
| 134 | 134 × 40.5 cm (52.8 × 15.9 in) | Big air, maximum edge grip, explosive pop |
| 136 | 136 × 41 cm (53.5 × 16.1 in) | Big air, maximum edge grip, explosive pop |
| 138 | 138 × 41.5 cm (54.3 × 16.3 in) | Big air, maximum edge grip, explosive pop |
| 140 | 140 × 42 cm (55.1 × 16.5 in) | Adds unhooked freestyle: slightly stiffer flex, more elliptical outline |
| 142 | 142 × 42.5 cm (55.9 × 16.7 in) | Adds unhooked freestyle: slightly stiffer flex, more elliptical outline |
CORE notes that smaller sizes reduce air resistance and make board-offs easier, while the larger sizes suit freestyle riders who ride boots. Use the size selector to see which sizes are available.

Specs from CORE’s published data for the Choice 7.
The Choice 7 comes without fins, handle or footwear. CORE pairs it with the EQ 42mm fin set (or its Orca Pro fins for extra grip), the EQ or Revo grab handle, and Union Comfort, Union Pro or Carved Ultra pads and straps. It can also be ridden with boots.
No. The CORE Choice 7 is sold as the board only. Fins, grab handle and pads and straps are sold separately.
The 134 to 138 sizes are tuned for big air; the 140 and 142 add an unhooked freestyle focus and suit riders in boots. See the size chart above, or call the shop for a size recommendation.
Both are CORE carbon twintips. CORE rates the Choice 7 higher for big air and unhooked riding, and the Fusion 7 higher for easy freeriding.
Yes. CORE says the larger sizes in particular suit freestyle riders who prefer boots.
