PROWELD
Unlike all the other kites out there that are put together by sewing and stitching, The Harlem Thrive is a game changer. See, sewing and stitching makes holes that can make the kite weaker. Then, to fix that, they add more material, and that makes it heavier. With The Thrive, things are different. It takes away those weaknesses and makes every welded part super strong. What’s cooler is that each weld adds more stiffness, letting you handle the wind like a pro.
Digital Printing
All kite designs these days use screen printing, but Harlem are not fans of that. You see, whatever you put on one side, you have to balance out on the other. It’s like adding unnecessary weight that disconnects you from the wind as you ride. Enter Digital Printing – the solution for the next generation of kites. With this, Harlem can create the lightest kite possible while giving you top-notch control. Oh, and guess what? It opens up a whole world of design options. So, you can rock a style that’s as slick as you want it to be.
