Harlem Kitesurfing was founded in 2016 in the Netherlands by a group of passionate kitesurfers with a clear mission: to develop high-quality and accessible kitesurf gear without compromising on quality or sustainability. From the start, innovation was at the core, with the goal of creating kites and wings that offer both performance and ease of use. What began as a small, driven team quickly grew into a brand that earned worldwide recognition. Harlem stood out through its fresh approach, directly integrating rider feedback into product development. This led to the launch of lightweight, durable, and customizable kites and wings—perfect for any discipline. In collaboration with Brainchild Production, Harlem took a major step toward producing eco-friendly kites made in Europe using the latest technologies. Thanks to this forward-thinking mindset, Harlem Kitesurfing continues to grow, with the goal of offering riders around the world the best experience on the water. Ride Harlem, ride the future!

In addition to Harlem kites, the development of Harlem boards is also going strong. Harlem Kitesurfing, in the same collaboration with Ralf Groesel from Brainchild Production and 5-time world champion Aaron Hadlow, has launched a versatile kiteboard. The Harlem Launch Kiteboard is Harlem’s all-round kiteboard for every kitesurfer. With impressive upwind performance and smooth landings, this kiteboard is all about having fun. Whether you’re into big air, freestyle, or freeride, this versatile kiteboard adapts to your style and delivers the control, speed, and pop you need. Thanks to its smart shape and flexible tips, the Launch combines stability with playful agility, helping you get the most out of every session.
