Light wind days have never been this fun on a twintip. Meet the new Harlem Rise — developed alongside the Thrive LiteX, this is the ultimate light wind board designed to get you riding with ease in the most marginal conditions.
From its outline and unique rocker line to the fin setup, every detail of the Rise has been engineered to maximise grip, comfort, and efficiency in the lightest winds. The result is a board that gets you up and riding with ease while still delivering control, tracking, and confidence under your feet.
Designed by Ralf Groesel and Aaron Hadlow, and crafted in Europe, the Rise makes light wind sessions effortless and fun.
THE TECH BEHIND THE RISE
Built for maximum efficiency in minimal wind, every element of the Rise has been designed to get you riding when others are still waiting.
The Rise Outline
At 156 x 46 cm, the Rise features a distinctive outline with wide tips and maximum surface area for early planing and exceptional upwind ability.
Unique Rocker Line
A flat centre rocker helps the board generate speed and track upwind with ease, while kicked tips add grip, comfort, and control in choppy conditions.
Innovative Fin Setup
A large 45 mm centre fin combined with a smaller 35 mm heel fin delivers impressive grip and tracking with minimal drag and no unwanted catch.
Narrow Stance Design
A narrower stance keeps your weight centred through the board, helping you get up and riding faster while maintaining balance in unpredictable light wind conditions.
Made in Europe
Crafted in Europe and delivered in eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging — from workshop to water, with sustainability in mind.
