HARLEM PACE: THE LIGHTWEIGHT ALL-ROUNDER REDEFINED
The Harlem Pace is the result of a collaboration between Harlem and the Brainchild production house. Designed to be the perfect “one-wing-quiver,” the Pace balances power, stability, and maneuverability. By applying PROWELD technology to the wing’s airframe, Harlem has eliminated the heavy stitching and overlap tape found in traditional wings, resulting in a wing that feels “weightless” in your hands but stays rock-solid under load.

BRAINCHILD & PROWELD: WHY IT MATTERS FOR WINGING
Winging is all about efficiency and weight. The Harlem Pace benefits from a manufacturing shift that moves away from 30-year-old sewing techniques to embrace molecular welding.
- Maximum Stiffness: Because the panels are welded edge-to-edge, the leading edge and strut act as a single, continuous piece. This means when you pump the wing, 100% of your energy goes into lift, rather than being lost in frame deformation.
- Reduced Drag: Without stitch-bumps on the leading edge, the Pace cuts through the air more cleanly. This makes the wing faster and more stable when flagged out on a wave.
- Durability Proven: Harlem’s wings have been in the wild for three years now. We’ve seen these wings take heavy use at local spots, and the welded seams hold up better than traditional thread, which can fray or rot over time. No needle holes means no “stretching” of the airframe—it stays crisp for years.
OUR GENUINE TAKE: WHO IS IT FOR?
The Pace is for the rider who wants simplicity and performance. It’s exceptionally stable in the air, making it great for beginners finding their balance, but it has the speed and “pop” that advanced riders need for jumps. It’s a “sheet-and-go” wing that doesn’t require constant adjustment. Because it’s so light, it’s also an incredible choice for wave riding, as it floats effortlessly when you hold it by the front handle.
The Reality Check: While it is a fantastic all-rounder, it is a high-performance piece of gear. Because the frame is so stiff, it is very reactive. If you are used to a “soft” or baggy wing, the Pace will feel much more direct—it tells you exactly what the wind is doing at all times.
TECH SPEC (IN PLAIN ENGLISH)
- PROWELD Airframe: Welded seams create a thinner, lighter, and stiffer leading edge. It’s the “carbon frame” of the wing world.
- Dihedral Shape: The wing has a slight “V” shape. This makes it self-stabilize while you ride, so you aren’t fighting to keep the tips out of the water.
- Ergonomic Handles: Stiff, comfortable handles that give you a direct connection to the wing’s power without the weight of a full boom.
- Digital Eco-Printing: Harlem prints directly onto the canopy. It’s better for the planet and makes the wing lighter because there’s no heavy screen-printing ink.
