Kite + bar rental — Harlem Thrive

Harlem Thrive V2 kite rental with bar

The Thrive V2 is a premium versatile 3-strut kite that shines in every discipline and every condition — predictable, responsive and just powerful enough to give you confidence for the next step. If you are looking for kite gear rental that helps you progress rather than just survive the session, this is the right pick.

What the Thrive V2 gives you on the water

• More vertical lift and longer hangtime — under load it flies faster through the wind window and further out of it, with a pronounced second lift.
• Predictable steering and stability even in stronger, gustier wind.
• Confidence to jump — higher, softer landings and manageable power.

What the rental includes

• The Harlem Thrive V2 kite (we pick the size together based on the wind and your weight)
• The Harlem Lead Bar V2 control bar with Dyneema SK99 lines and a safety system
• A pump and a carry bag

The board is not included — add a kiteboard rental or take the Harlem Thrive full set at €75/day. You can also view the model for purchase: Harlem Thrive V2.

Tip: at 12–18 knots, size 9 is the most rewarding for the average kiter.

Rental price

• Daily rental: €60
• Weekly rental: €300 (7 days)

Longer rentals add up by weeks and days — 8 days means €300 + €60 = €360. Payment on pick-up, no deposit.

Why rent kite gear from Windysh

• Current models, not worn-out stock — the rental fleet is the same kites and boards we sell.
• Rental as a test ride — before investing in your own gear, try it on the water in real conditions.
• Set-up and advice from kiters — we recommend the kite size based on the wind, your weight and your skill.
• No deposit, rentals from 1 to 30 days, and the weekly price is far better value than the daily one.

Rental FAQ

What do I need to rent?

An ID and basic kiting skills (independent kite launch and upwind riding). If you are just starting, we recommend a course — and we will help you choose.

What if there is no wind?

Let us know in time; a windless slot can be moved to the next opportunity by agreement.

Can the rental count towards a purchase?

Yes — if you decide to buy the same model after renting, we will talk about a benefit. Ask us when returning the gear.

Kiting regularly? The annual subscription is cheaper

If you rent gear several times a year, the annual kite gear rental subscription pays off: €450 for 15 rental days per year — that is €30 per day for any gear from our range. Find the full rental range in the Equipment rental category.
