Harlem Flow Kitesurfing Kite
The Harlem Flow is a compact 3-strut wave and freeride kitesurfing kite, designed by Ralf Groesel and Aaron Hadlow for riders who want precise, easy-to-manage handling, available in sizes 5m to 10m.
The Harlem Flow kitesurfing kite is a high-performance wave and freeride kite built around a low-aspect, three-strut design. Its compact outline lets it pivot on a tight axis, so turning feels fast and smooth while it stays stable through transitions and loops.
- Tight, responsive turning: the low-aspect, compact design and new 8-point bridle with floating tip pulley help the Flow turn on a tight axis, so you can reposition quickly.
- Light bar pressure: Harlem describes the handling as intuitive and forgiving, so the kite is easier to manage in all conditions without overpowering the ride.
- Quick relaunch: one pull on the steering line gets the Flow back in the air fast, so you spend more time riding and less time recovering.
