Harlem Peak Big Air Kitesurfing Kite

The Harlem Peak is a five-strut Big Air kitesurfing kite designed by Ralf Groesel and Aaron Hadlow — built for instant vertical take-off, huge hangtime and controlled, progressive kiteloops.

Limited-time offer — free Lead Bar V2 with every Peak. Harlem are including a Lead Bar V2, the matching control bar worth £604, free with any Peak kite bought while the offer lasts. Order your Peak and we will be in touch to confirm whether you want the 22m or the 24m bar. See the Lead Bar V2.

The Harlem Peak is Harlem's dedicated Big Air kite, and it is the kite Lorenzo Casati chose on his way to winning King of the Air 2025. Its ultra-tuned "sheet and go" power delivers instant vertical take-off and incredible hangtime, with smooth landings and second-lift recovery so you come back down in control. Available in sizes 6m through 12m.

• Five-strut airframe with ProWeld leading edge — the ProWeld technique drastically reduces leading-edge weight while increasing strength, stiffness and stability, so the kite stays smooth and confident whether it is 15 knots or full storm mode.
• Fixed pulley bridle with a one-sided stopper — medium-light bar pressure and direct steering input give you effortless control and instant feedback, especially when you are overpowered, so finding that perfect take-off gets easier.
• Twincross Flylite canopy, made in Europe — an ultra-light canopy material that boosts durability and flying performance, built in Harlem's Brainchild Production with eco-conscious materials and digital eco-printing.

Size Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size Peak should I choose?
A: Start with the wind range table above — Harlem quotes those figures for an intermediate rider at 75kg. If you are heavier, or your local spot runs lighter, size up; lighter riders and windy spots can size down. If you are between two sizes, give the Board-Worx team a shout and we will talk it through with you.

Q: Is the Peak suitable for beginners?
A: The Peak is a dedicated Big Air kite, not a first kite. Harlem describe it as predictable, intuitive and accessible, so it is not reserved for pros, but you will want solid kite control and confident jumping before you get the best from it. If you are still learning, talk to us about a more all-round kite first.

Q: What line length does the Peak need?
A: Harlem recommend 22m lines on the 6m through 10m, and 24m lines on the 11m and 12m.

Q: Can I fly the Peak on the Harlem Lead Bar V2?
A: Yes — the Harlem Lead Bar V2 is the matching bar from the same range, available in 22m and 24m line lengths to suit every Peak size.

Q: Peak or Thrive — what is the difference?
A: The Thrive V2 is a 3-strut all-rounder for freeride, waves and general progression. The Peak is a 5-strut kite built specifically for Big Air and freeride, with the airframe and bridle tuned for lift and hangtime. Aaron Hadlow has filmed a full head-to-head between the two if you want to hear it from the designer.

Q: Can the Peak be customised?
A: Yes. The Peak uses Harlem's digital eco-printing technology, which allows for limitless customisation options. Get in touch and we will walk you through what is possible.
