Harlem

Harlem Kitesurfing started when two friends, Alex and Hans, decided they could build better gear than what kept coming across their repair benches. Too fragile, too expensive, too wasteful, so they set out to challenge how kites and wings were designed and built. That mindset led Harlem to partner with Brainchild Production in Europe, pushing new standards in sustainability, materials, and precision manufacturing. With innovations like welded construction and digital eco printing, Harlem focuses on lighter weight, higher stiffness, and cleaner production. The brand’s evolution accelerated with the addition of top-tier designers and riders, including Ralf Groesel and Aaron Hadlow, validating the performance at the highest level. Today, Harlem blends progressive design with a rider-first mentality, creating gear that stands out on the water and holds up season after season.
