Boom Point7 Carbon Pro+

DEVELOPMENT

The first goal of the Point-7 Black Team when developing a boom is its profile. It is not about having a next-generation profile, as many may call it. It's about a profile that allows your front and back arms to assume a natural, ergonomic position while sailing, automatically positioning the sail at the right angle to allow the wind to enter and exit the sail. This position changes depending on the wind strength and windsurfing discipline, so each boom size must be developed accordingly.

0.1% CRACK FACTOR!

Black Team Curves.

The profile requirements for wave booms are very different from those for slalom booms. Just as a high-wind slalom boom is very different from a light-wind slalom boom - one must offer control, the other power. Developing the right profile gives you comfort and, accordingly, performance.

Nozzle Width

We have developed the right nose width to suit each boom size and application. The width of the boom nose is very important - the wider, the more power; the narrower, the more control. We have tested each size to best match the sail sizes it was designed for.

Smart, balanced design.

Diameter is another important factor as it provides comfort for the forearms and saves energy while sailing. At Point-7 we have developed our booms using Octatube - a carbon tube shape with 8 sides, designed to ergonomically fit the natural shape of the hand when gripping. We vary the diameter used depending on the type: 25mm in the wave boom, 27mm in the 170 slalom boom and 29mm in the two larger slalom boom sizes.

Reflexes.

The stiffness of the carbon boom is also very important, you need to find the right combination between reflexes and comfort. Just as masts have different IMCS, our booms are designed to offer the right amount of stiffness to allow for comfort with smaller sail sizes, and greater reflex with larger sail sizes.

Weight.

You can have the lightest, stiffest boom on the market, but if these key features are wrong, the boom will feel heavy and uncomfortable. The weight needs to be centered in the front of the boom, leaving a light tail. A heavy tail will make a light boom feel heavier than it actually is. That's why we taper all the way to the tail section, the wider diameter allows for thinner, lighter carbon walls where there's no need to hold on, but also greater stiffness where it matters most.

Construction.

All of our carbon booms are monocoque, including the tails. All of our carbon booms are tapered, making them thinner in diameter where you hold them while swimming, and wider at the back to provide stiffness and lightness where you need it most.
