FAQ

Who is the Vayu Wingboard Edge Downwind Carbon suitable for?

What are the special features of the Edge Wing DW's downwind shape?

The elongated, narrow outline reduces drag and makes it easy to pick up speed when pumping. The optimized rocker profile, combined with the refined volume distribution, provides early lift and smooth, controlled starts on the foil.

What material is the Vayu Edge Downwind Carbon made of?

The board features an ultralight carbon sandwich construction with an EPS core, additional PVC-reinforced rails, and high-density foam around the double US box. It has a matte carbon finish that ensures a very low weight while maintaining high stiffness.

What sizes and volumes are available?

The Edge Wing DW is available in four volumes: 65 liters, 75 liters, 85 liters, and 100 liters, with corresponding lengths ranging from approximately 5'7" to 7'0". This makes it easy to match the board to your body weight and intended use.

Can the board also be used for SUP foiling and light winging?

Yes, according to the manufacturer, the Edge Downwind series is designed for winging, downwind runs, and SUP foiling alike. The shape allows for effortless take-offs even in light wind conditions and provides a versatile riding experience.

How does the board handle landings and dunks?

The construction is deliberately designed to be forgiving, so that landings are absorbed more gently and the board is easier to stand back up on after a dunk. This gives you more confidence when trying out new moves or downwind lines.

Which foil setup is suitable for the Vayu Edge Wing DW?

The board features a double US box with an extended mount, into which standard wing foils with a US box mast can be inserted. For precise positioning, the box is marked with a scale, allowing you to adjust your foil setup consistently.

How do I properly care for and transport the carbon board?

The board is equipped with a two-way board valve that compensates for temperature fluctuations – nevertheless, you should protect it from extreme heat and direct sunlight. For carrying it to the water, there is a recessed handle recess in the underwater hull, and a leash eyelet at the tail allows for the use of a coil or hip leash.
