Great review! Really thorough. It makes sense why Lorenzo chose Harlem. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how it compares to the Orbit. I think I’ve seen you using it in a previous video. Cheers
Hey Ruben! Thank you for your kind comments :) I actually did fly the 9m Orbit Pro in the Netherlands before flying to Cape Town and my best buddy owns the Orbit 2023 9m so I have experience with both. Orbit and Orbit Pro are significantly slower than the Force. You also feel more bar pressure on your hands without the actual power. The hang time with Orbit and Orbit Pro was certainly less than Harlem Force. My friend who has the Orbit took the Force for 20 minutes to ride on of the days I was shooting and he was blown away.. He came back with a smile and said.. this loops like my Orbit 7m!!! I enjoyed the Orbit, although it's certainly more of a beginner friendly kited when the Force is clearly for more intermediate to advanced riders.
Cool review with up and downsides. Nice variation of tricks, nice to have a oppinion of somone of your level. Personally I think I would not like less bar pressure then the Orbit, its already super low. Thanks!
Thank you! Orbit pressure is more than Harlem but still way less than XR PRO. The big difference is that when you have pressure on the Force it comes with loads of power which is awesome! With orbit there’s more pressure but not the same power. Again it a matter of taste and preference not about what is better :)
Thanks buddy! at one ;) Currently talking a few weeks off due to bruised ribs 😅😂 Once I am back in the water 2-3 weeks I hope then I will work on the Orbit review🤟
Amazing review! Would love to see more kite comparison video from you :)) One small thing; try to balance the music and speaking volume a bit more, music tends to be a bit too loud :) Keep it up!! Good work :)
That’s a great one! I appreciate the feedback. I can certainly work more with the volumes to be consistent throughout the video❤ Will try to do some more reviews 🤟
Super good review...i think the valve is a really downside but would be easy to fix with an soft neopren like a "cap" for the valve which other brands does. Or of course but a extra layer of dacron or better 2 layers ;). Of course for a kite in this price range it shouldn´t be like that...overall super nice kite a looks like get very close to the orbit or cabrinha fx2 what i see.
Thank you for your comment Tom! Harlem Kitesurfing reached out to me and shared that they already fixed the issue with a softer plastic cap. They shared a video with me which showcases how they solved it. Super happy to see that they have already seen these small things and fixed them ASAP ;)
I bite the GoPro directly! It’s easier to fit in my wetsuit front compartment! With the mount it’s impossible to fit it in my wetsuit. I have also seen a mount for the harness where you can park your GoPro when not shooting.
Hey hey! I used the 52cm bar. It is certainly a bit bulkier than what I am used to (Core Sensor) although it honestly flew in perfect harmony with the Force. I actually really enjoyed it ;)
Great comment! No, not yet as this was the first review that I tried. Currently talking a few weeks off due to bruised ribs 😅😂 Once I am back in the water 2-3 weeks from now I hope.. then I will work on the XR PRO review 🤟
I met with Hans from Harlem kitesurf shop to ask about this and basically under the leading edge you have a stitch line across the LE. It’s slightly more work but you don’t touch the pro welding.. you don’t need to in order to access the leading edge ;) I can upload the explanation from Hans (kite repair expert) in a private link and share with you if interested.

It's way easier and safer to loop
And way more fun. Once you try you will never go back

Tomas nice job again!
Πολυ ωραιο review , να κανεις κ αλλα !!!!!❤
Great review. Only thing that triggers is the safety at the bar, its inverted
Do you mean the red safety line that's wrapped around the pu cords? This is not normal and can be solved by pulling the QR trough the red line.
Love the review and the overall content! Would also be curious to know how it compares to the Orbit 😊
Thanks buddy! at one ;) Currently talking a few weeks off due to bruised ribs 😅😂

Thanks for the video
Pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Another great video! 🙌
Thank you for watching guys! It means a lot to hear - Hopefully it brings some value to the riders out there 🙂
How do you film your POV?
With a bite mount or do you bite directly into the floaty?
Great video shots!!😍

Great review
Thank you amigo!
Are you an AARDVARK?
Which Bar size where you using for the Harlem bar?
Hey there! They gave me the large 52cm bar. It felt a bit big in comparison with my Sensor 3s but got used to it pretty quickly.
Hey hey :) What bar size you were using?

Do you also have an xr pro review?:)
Great comment! No, not yet as this was the first review that I tried. Currently talking a few weeks off due to bruised ribs 😅😂
Once I am back in the water 2-3 weeks from now I hope.. then I will work on the XR PRO review 🤟
hey :) did u may test the sensor pro bar on the harlem kite? :)
Hey hey! Good one ;) sounds like a perfect combination as I love the sensor bar!
No I didn’t but maybe that’s a good recommendation to try!
@@JustGoKitesurfing yeah think that could be a sick combination :) me too haha.
would love to see, i would try myself but dont got an harlem kite xD
Hi, I'm in San Francisco, where can I buy this kite? Thanks
Hey hey! I actually checked and haven’t found any official distributor yet. 😮
How do you repair the leading edge seeing as its welded?
I met with Hans from Harlem kitesurf shop to ask about this and basically under the leading edge you have a stitch line across the LE. It’s slightly more work but you don’t touch the pro welding.. you don’t need to in order to access the leading edge ;)

@@JustGoKitesurfing yeah that would be awesome! Thanks
