ABOUT VAYU
VAYU the wind god represents air, breath, space, and the power of weather.
His movements from place to place on the earth give him the power to create waves, making him an important deity to surfers. Just like for us surfers and watermen, there’s no life without the Ocean. VAYU is wind, air, breath. And without air there’s no life. The Ocean is the very reason we live for. And without it we cannot conceive our existence. Hence we are committed to protect and cherish the very element that gives us life. In terms of sustainability, our goal as a brand and company is to embark on a journey to become one of the most inclusive and sustainable board sports brands by 2030.Every time we are on the water, we want to remind ourselves that we have an important mission. 2030 is our common goal. It’s the horizon we are flying towards.
Our Motto: Fly the Ocean.
