Re: Vayu Demo
I'm in the Bay Area for a few more days and would love to demo one while here, if anyone has one available. Will also be up into the Gorge thru mid-Aug, if anybody up there has one to demo.

Hello I’m hoping to have demo and sample Vayu wings and foil boards in the Gorge in a few weeks.

I live in Hood River and will be the sales rep in the US. We are hoping to have a strong dealer base here in the states when product becomes available.

Problem with these Aluula and Ho'okipa materials is that they make wings so expensive, yet still no more resilient to stabiliser cuts and more difficult to repair when the inevitable happens. €1,999 for a 5m wing is madness.

Ka-Ch$ng! Yeah, I don't see any Aluula-class kite or wing in my quiver until the pricing comes down. Double the price means I can only afford half the toys! However, every time I pick up an Aluula kite to help someone launch, I'm amazed at the lightness. I can only imagine how that lightness helps in lightwind or when foiling/winging underpowered.
Once upon a time, I never thought I'd own a titanium or carbon mountain bike either...
