The Story of Harlem – Kites Designed by Surfers, for Surfers
Harlem Kitesurfing was founded by kite experts Hans Lieben and Alexander Morgenstern. What began as a repair workshop quickly evolved into a clear mission: to build kites that are more durable, more powerful, and more sustainable than the industry standard.
"It's not a sales pitch, it's just a f******g good product.”
– Alex Morgenstern – Founder/CEO (Quote source: harlemkitesurfing.com)
With Ralf Grösel, one of the best-known kite designers in the industry, Harlem brought on board a true expert who had spent nearly two decades with Duotone. The result: a kite range that impresses with performance, handling and durability.
Technological Innovation for Maximum Performance
Harlem uses state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies to develop kites suitable for both beginners and professionals.
- PROWELD technology reduces weight and increases durability
- Digital printing process saves materials and ensures sharp, long-lasting designs
- Precise steering response for maximum control in freestyle, big air or freeride
Whether you're learning your first water start or sending massive kiteloops – the Harlem kite delivers the performance you need to progress.
Sustainability at the Core of the Brand
While many brands are still debating, Harlem Kitesurfing is already producing sustainably – no compromises.
- Kites are produced in a North Macedonian factory that runs on 100% solar power
- Recycled materials reduce environmental impact
- Main components are sourced from Germany, France, and Austria to shorten transport distances
This means not only more durable kites, but also a more eco-friendly production process. Harlem Kitesurfing stands for a greener future in kitesports.
