Through sheer determination and never-give-up spirit, we stumbled upon something truly extraordinary at the end of the rainbow. What we found in that pot of gold were the blueprints for two game changing techniques: PROWELD and Digital Printing. These ingenious methods have enabled us to craft a kite that's in a league of its own – unbelievably lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, giving other performance kites a real run for their money. And yes, you bet, it's an absolute joy to ride.
PROWELD
Unlike all the other kites out there that are put together by sewing and stitching, The Force is a game changer. See, sewing and stitching makes holes that can make the kite weaker. Then, to fix that, they add more material, and that makes it heavier. With The Force, things are different. It takes away those weaknesses and makes every welded part super strong. What's cooler is that each weld adds more stiffness, letting you handle the wind like a pro. That's why we call it The Force – it's all about mastering the breeze.
No need for crazy difficult and expensive materials here. We've taken a completely new approach to making kites. By using welding, we craft kites and wings that are crazy light. This means when you're up in the air, it feels like you're floating – smooth and easy. You'll pull off tricks you never thought possible and push your boundaries like never before.
- Our inflatable frame is welded together instead of stitched. Giving you a 20% lighter frame and a 30% increase in torsional stiffness versus other performance kites still using traditional techniques.
- Rapid steering impulse provides an exquisite steering feel that ensures you stay in perfect sync with the elements.
- The lightness of our kites enables them to take flight early, ascend rapidly after a kiteloop and reduce wind drag to ride faster and create more apparent wind, propelling you to new heights of excitement and performance.
- The welded frame also reduces wind drag so you can ride faster and create more apparent wind.
- The use of a new, lighter, and stiffer fabric enhances the responsiveness to your every steering input, granting you unparalleled control over your kite.
- The use of well-established, traditional dacron, at 132 gram/m², ensures a reliable and durable frame.

Digital Printing
All kite designs these days use screen printing, but we're not fans of that at Harlem. You see, whatever you put on one side, you have to balance out on the other. It's like adding unnecessary weight that disconnects you from the wind as you ride. Enter Digital Printing – the solution for the next generation of kites. With this, we create the lightest kite possible while giving you top-notch control. Oh, and guess what? It opens up a whole world of design options. So, you can rock a style that's as slick as you want it to be.
When you blend all these game changing goodies together, our kites serve up an epic experience that's like levelling up your kitesurfing skills by ten notches. Trying out this kite left no doubts. Cruising on The Force is like becoming one with it. Everyone who hopped on agrees – the unmatched control and spot-on accuracy are mind-blowing. It's like gaining a masterful hold over the elements that leaves you totally stoked.
- But you be the judge of that.
FORCE - Harlem
Absolutely, we're beaming with pride over this creation. With the Force, sustainability isn't just a claim; it's a testament to the zenith of kite innovation. It's not overstating to assert that we've meticulously sculpted the ultimate performer, all while treading lightly on the environment. Indulge us as we rave about its remarkable features. Are you more into foiling? Then check the Pace, its handsome little wing counterpart.
European Craftsmanship
We've embarked on a journey to create the ultimate kite, with as much components as possible sourced from Europe. Picture this:
- Canopy, at 42 gram/m², from the artistic hands of France.
- 100% recycled webbing created in Germany.
- 100% recycled threads meticulously crafted in Austria.
We surely hope more brands will follow this path and embrace a shorter journey from source to innovation. It’s time to change the tide.

Unleash your potential on the water while embracing a conscious connection to the planet. Experience kitesurfing with purpose, powered by the pinnacle of kite technology.
Let’s be honest. Most kite designs are not that special. Let alone customisable. You know why, right? Kites are currently designed by adding print on print. Adding weight upon weight. Thereby breaking the carefully crafted balance it was designed to have. Not anymore. Digital printing makes this an issue of the past. It allows you to look however you want while reducing your environmental footprint.
Want to be sailing a kite with your face, company logo or the Mona Lisa on it? Now you can. Don’t bother looking at other brands for this. Harlem Kitesurfing is the first kite band to embrace this new technology.
Say goodbye to wasteful practices. Unlike conventional methods that involve bleaching and dyeing, our revolutionary process of digital EcoPrinting eliminates unnecessary water usage, saving resources for what truly matters. With EcoPrint, the beauty lies in its raw, untouched essence – no need for bleaching or coloring on the base product where eco-friendly magic happens.
But that's not all. We're committed to a greener future. Embrace a new era of conscientious choices and streamline your stock management with a single base color. Join us in reshaping not just your products, but the very landscape of sustainable possibilities. Harlem Kitesurfing is the first brand moving in this new technology. But believe when we say, others will follow.
