Re: Vayu Wings!
Question is, who isn't making wings these says?
Checked the website, 2000 euros+ boards advertised as super lightweight but no mention of what you are actually paying for, the weight...
Everything is either out of stock or has a month delivery time.
F-One colors for the wings and design look like it was made for Vuarnet sunglasses.
Looks good!

Re: Vayu Wings
Designer Bill Hansen is ex-switch kites. They ditched him and went to contract designers to drop the costs and (I think) get designs with lower bar pressure. I think Bill Hansen has an aeronautical design background... closer to wings than kites. Interesting that they also are coming out with a combined hard/soft boom design like Eleveight(first)? and then Duotone.

Re: Vayu Wings
Re: boom - What caught my eye is Bill's folding bridge-boom design, which seems like a clever way to support the center strut and allow for a wide variety of hand placements to control the wing, instead of fixed handles.
Re: comments about cost, availability, etc. - I think the web site went live just this week. In these Covid times, I'm sure launching a new brand is quite the challenge.
