Harlem Strike

The Rocky Balboa of big air kites

Sizes: 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 12

A few broken ribs, slight concussions, and all sorts of bruises. Yes, testing and developing the Harlem Strike was a bumpy ride. But what you get after 4 years of research, prototyping, and playing test dummy is a kite that makes you the underdog that beats the champ.

How the Strike wins

A high-performance big air kite that delivers a continuous and predictable boost for smooth and fast kiteloops with unique catching capabilities for a ‘controlled and gentle descent’, even in gusty conditions.
A kite that ensures you jump smoother and gives you the confidence to land smoothly.
Pure excitement for every kiter who thrives when jumping around on a twintip.
Never lose your gear again with the integrated Booomtag
And all packed in the perfect carry on eco-friendly backpack

Test and Buy

Bombproof Dacron
The 160gsm DP Dacron is a high performance, inflatable structured material. Made in Germany.
Fusion trailing edge
The fusion trailing edge is diffusing the stress on the canopy, which improves kite stability and longevity.
long lasting ripstop
Techfiber Triple Ripstop has the ideal strength to weight ratio you can find on the market.
Easy pumping and packing
The large diameter of the inflate and deflate ensures an easy and quick inflation and deflation of your kite and it fits every kite pump on the market.
Bombproof struts
Double strut head in combination with extra wide webbing reinforcement ensures a solid and long lasting inflatable kite frame. Strut inflation happens via a one-pump system connected by long lasting silicone tube.
Lightweigt struts
The fusion trailing edge is not enough so we used the STW70 not only in the trailing edge, but for the full sturt construction to reduce weight and increase the perfomance.
Strong, Stiff and Light
By using the Teufelberger MAUI FL-389 lines in our bridles we managed to create agile kites with a direct bar feeling.
Always safe
The line reflector is a structural reinforcement covering the closing seam, decreasing the possibility of bridle wrap.
Quality protection
Strategically placed protection pads, using STPU non-slip, eliminate wear and tear on Canopy & Dacron.
Tough and durable
A bladder with a strength-to-weight ratio for an ideal balance between performance and durability.
High performance bridles
High-quality spliced, pre-stretched bridle lines are pre-loaded and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency. This results in reduced elongation and improved longevity. Removing the pulleys from the bridle improves safety and gives the kite direct and precise handling.
Balanced bridle system
High-quality spliced, pre-stretched bridle lines are pre-loaded and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency. This results in reduced elongation and improved longevity. Adding one pulley improves the bridle's ease and safety and makes the kite friendlier to handle.
Pure control
Hard handles for direct control. We use lightweight, screwed-on handles for an easy and direct feel on the wing resulting in better lightwind performance. The handles are both 34cm long.
Easy access
Extra wide handles for a comfortable grip.
Solid frame
2 Inflate valves with a large diameter ensure easy and fast inflation and deflation of your wing and it fits every kite/wing pump on the market. Being able to tune the pressure in your strut separately improves the overall performance of the wing.
Bombproof strut construction
This frame construction will give the wing the extra stiffness and durability for more and better sessions on the water.
Durable windows

Profile construction
The transition between the inflatable frame structure and the triple ripstop material with a wide insignia gives an improved load transfer resulting in a stabie and durable kite.
Bar pressure setting
High vs low bar pressure adjustment in the Strike.
X-panel
The Harlem Strike X-panel construction distributes the steering input more evenly on the wingtip for higher turning speed and better overall performance.
