Grain or Core?
Same build, same warranty. The difference is the deck, the look and the price.
Every Tidle is built the same way underneath: 20cm of drop stitch holding the deck flat and firm, the same pump and repair kit, and the same three-year warranty. What changes between the two editions is what you stand on and what it looks like on the water.

Pick Grain if
You want the grip strips where your feet land, and a dock that looks like part of the setup. Grain is the one people ask about at the ramp.
Pick Core if
You want the Tidle build and warranty for less, and the look doesn't matter as much as the price. Core is tough, simple and does the job.
