The California Kitesurf Masters in St. Peter-Ording once again brought together riders, brands and kite enthusiasts for a few action-packed days on the North Sea coast – and the Harlem crew was right in the middle of it.
Throughout the event, the Harlem stand was buzzing, with riders getting the chance to experience our latest gear on the water. With more than 500 test sessions and over 300 riders testing Harlem gear, it was great to see so many people discovering the latest additions to our range, sharing sessions and bringing plenty of stoke both on and off the water.
The next generation takes to the water
One of the biggest highlights of the event was the GKA Youth Kite World Championship, where some of the most exciting young talents in the sport came together to compete.
Six young Harlem riders joined the action: Mano Lander from Denmark, Martin Rahnel from Estonia, Figo van Ekeren from the Netherlands, Sohan Denne from France, Lukman Mohammed Abdalla from Zanzibar and Kai Lieffering from the Netherlands.
Seeing so much young talent representing Harlem on the water was a proud moment for the whole crew. The level of riding, energy and progression throughout the competition gave us an exciting glimpse into the bright and bold future of our sport.
A special shoutout goes to Mano Lander, who delivered an incredible performance to take 3rd place in the U19 division and bring home a well-deserved spot on the podium.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Harlem stand, tested the gear, shared a session with us or simply came over to hang out with the Harlem Family. It was an incredible few days filled with great riding, new faces and plenty of good times.
SPO, you were a blast. Until next time!
