When a slogan becomes a way of life, you know the passion behind it.
Change The Tide is more than just our slogan — it’s what we live by.
From a tiny workshop in the Netherlands to pushing the limits of innovation, high performance and sustainability in kitesurfing, this film tells the story of Harlem: the risks, the setbacks, the people, and the community that stood behind the vision when it mattered most.
This is a story about never settling for how things are done.
About thinking differently.
About taking risks others won’t.
And about building not just better gear but making a real impact that moves the sport forward.
This is Harlem.
And it is only the beginning…
🎬 Filmed, Directed & Edited by Yannick Schurwanz
🎥 Additional footage by: Benedict Tufnell, Antonio Herrera Trujillo, NomadicSea, Daniel Hajnal and others
