looking for best value cabon wave boom , ive had a maui carbon wave not impressed broken after 16 months any suggestions what to get thanks.

Broke my last two booms which were in carbon; just switched back to alloy.
Alloy booms rarely breack (even though they can bend a bit..) and now have 26mm diameters and are pretty stiff. Maybe not as good as carbon, but for the price of one carbon boom you get 3 good alloy booms.. good for 10 years of sailing. I d rather spend more money on the mast than on the boom..

Sorry, did not answer the question..

chinook all the way.

stiff, light and solid. made in the states not China. you wont be dissapointed

Hey mate,

Maui Sails 140-200 wave carbon boom, super stiff, small diameter, front handle replaceable if necessary, I got pawned so many time with it and it still alive, I just bought a second one 2 weeks ago, around $990 with windsurfing shed.

I've heard lots of good things about the Maui Sails boom and I'm also coveting a Severne enigma boom. Once you go black carbon, you never go back
cheers
Tim

yes the carbon boom game... [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

Severne enigma is good looking piece of kit. Well worth cheking out.

Picked up a 2nd hand Maui carbon 140-200 wave boom for $400 last year and have taken it to hell & back ...... totally recommend one
