Harlem Wood

Handmade upwind booster

Sizes: 135/40,5 – 138/41,5 – 141/42 – 145/42,5

Upgrade your upwind game with this kiteboard: The Harlem Wood.

The Harlem Wood is our all-round ass-kicker. This kiteboard is designed with a single concave to flush water out for better stability and quicker acceleration. The flexibility in the tips is great for Dutch choppy conditions and makes you cut through that chop like a hot knife through butter. The flat rocker outline gives you that extra push in low wind conditions. The bright fluorescent color of the board makes it easy to find on those rough days.

So if you happen to look for a lightweight full Paulownia wood core with CNC engineered precision for maximum strength and flexibility, we happen to sell it.

You will be surprised by the softness and control the Wood offers. Ride this kiteboard to build or perfect your kitesurfing game.

Test & 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.
