Buying an aluminium windsurfing boom

Are you looking for an aluminium windsurfing boom? Then you are at the right address at Telstar Surf! We always have several aluminium booms in stock. Below you can read why an aluminium windsurfing boom can be a good choice for you. 

Why choose an aluminium windsurfing boom?

Do you have a small budget, are you a beginner or are you not regularly on the water? Then an aluminium boom is the perfect choice for you! An aluminium windsurfing boom doesn't compromise on quality for sails below 7.0m2. These sails require less stiffness from a windsurfing boom. Besides that, alloy windsurfing booms have less point load. This means that when you drop the aluminium boom on something, it is not directly broken. With carbon windsurfing booms there is a bigger chance of a crack in the windsurfing boom. This will eventually lead to less performance. The aluminium windsurfing booms are light and very strong and are in the price range from €100,- till €300,-.

When is it better to choose a carbon windsurfing boom?

An aluminium windsurfing boom is better not to be used on sails above 7.0 m2 because these sails need more stiffness. With an aluminium windsurfing boom the pressure point in your sail will shift in wind gusts making your set feel less stable. With a carbon boom you can react faster and have more control while windsurfing.

Which aluminium windsurfing boom do I need?

Aluminium windsurfing booms come in different price ranges. A cheaper windsurfing boom is suitable for the windsurfers who want to windsurf recreationally and are not looking for extreme material. A more expensive aluminium windsurfing boom is a good option for the windsurfers who are looking for higher performance but don't want to buy a carbon windsurfing boom. The price range of the aluminium booms is approximately between €100,- and €300,-.
