Windsurfing Booms FAQs
Your boom is your direct connection to the sail’s power – think of it as your windsurfing steering wheel.
Not sure which boom fits your style, or wondering how length and grip matter? You’re in the right place.
We’ve rounded up the most common boom questions – and clear, no-nonsense answers – to help you rig up with confidence.
Monocoque construction means the boom has a continuous tube design running from side to side through the head piece, rather than separate arms attached to the head.
This design provides superior rigidity, better load distribution, and enhanced durability compared to two-piece designs.
A C-shape boom features a curved profile with parallel tubes that follows a more natural hand position, reducing wrist strain and improving control compared to traditional straight booms.
- Carbon booms are approximately 30% lighter, provide superior rigidity, and offer better sail shape control, making them ideal for advanced riders.
- Aluminum booms are more impact-resistant, cost-effective, and forgiving, making them perfect for beginners
- Reduced Diameter Grips : measure around 26mm and are better for smaller hands and cold-water sailing, offering enhanced control. SDG
- Standard Diameter Grips are about 29mm, preferred by racers and those with larger hands, providing a traditional feel.
- V-Grips offer enhanced rigidity and a unique ergonomic feel but can cause blisters for some riders.
- Oval grips provide a balance between comfort and performance.
- Tapered designs vary in diameter along the boom length for optimized comfort and strength.
Your budget should focus on long-term value rather than initial cost.
- Entry-level aluminum booms range from €100-300,
- premium aluminum from €300-500,
- Carbon booms from €500-1000.
Consider that higher initial investment often means better performance and longevity.
Quality booms typically last 5+ years with proper care.
