Aluminum Booms
Aluminum (AL) windsurfing booms are the most common construction of booms in the windsurfing industry. We offer AL booms from RRD, Chinook and Aeron. They are available in T6, T8 and T9 aluminum tube constructions. T6 will favor entry level and recreational sailors who appreciate a price point boom that is durable. T8 aids increased stiffness and weight reduction. T9 Monocoque is lightest and stiffest construction featuring continuous tubing throughout the front and boom arms. The grip diameters come in 24mm (kids) to 26mm- 32mm (adult) options. Smaller diameters make grasping the boom easier, especially where small hands, cold water or glove use is common. Larger diameter boom grips tend to be slightly stiffer and are favored in booms over 160 cm starting lengths. AL boom lengths range from 90 - 220 cm lengths with 40-60cm of additional adjustment range.
