What a few days at the California Kitesurf Masters🔥

The Harlem crew brightened up St. Peter-Ording and brought the stoke on and off the water. With 500+ test sessions on Harlem gear and 300+ stoked riders, the energy throughout the event was incredible.

But one of the biggest highlights was seeing so much young talent hit the water at the GKA Youth Championship. With six young Harlem riders joining the action, the level, energy and progression we witnessed gave us a glimpse into the bright and bold future of our sport.

And a special shoutout to Mano Lander | Kitesurfer, who brought home an incredible 3rd place in the U19 division! 🥉

Thanks to everyone who came by, tested the gear, shared a session or simply hung out with the Harlem Family.

SPO, you were a blast. Until next time!
