Features
Boom head
The New Carbon Boom head. A stronger connection with less stress on the mast. The new longer cup gripping the mast dilutes the stress on to the mast structure, increasing the stability of the connection. This will also assure that the head will not to slip down the mast even with very little rope tension.Boom head is made to bring the correct synergy with the stiffness of the carbon tubes.
Easy automatic fitting to the mast.
Moving head tilts according to fitting height on the mast but does not move from side to side.
With very little rope tension,
the head will not slip on the mast.
Fits RDM adaptors perfectly.
The 140 size is having a dedicated head for the rdm boom, while other sized can be used for both sdm or rdm masts, by using a rdm mast adapter.
Tail end
To be less bulky in maneuvers and high winds, the tail end is made to fit inside the boom body in the smaller sized booms: wave 140, 150 and slalom 170.
To further reduce the weight and increase the stiffness of the bigger 190 and 210 booms, the diameter of the tail pieces is increased and fit outside the boom body.
Tail end pulley system:the wave sizes have the quick loop system, while the slalom sizes are having pulleys to host the adjustable outhaul system or simple threading to fix the clew tension.
Black Team Curves
The needs of a wave boom’s curve is very different from the curve for a slalom boom, just like a slalom boom for strong wind is very different from a boom for light wind slalom – one needs to offer control and the other power.
Developing the right curve brings comfort and, respectively, performance.
Smart Balanced design
Diameter is another important factor as it does bring comfort to the forearms
and saves wasting energy whilst out on the water.
At Point-7 we have developed our boom using the 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 according to the discipline; 25mm for the wave boom, 27mm on the 170 slalom boom,
and 29mm on the two larger sizes of the slalom boom.
Weight
You can have the lightest and stiffest boom available,
but if these main features are wrong then the boom will feel heavy and uncomfortable.
The weight needs to be front oriented on the boom, leaving the tail end of the boom light.
A heavy tail-end will make a light boom, in general, feel heavier than it really is.
This is why we use a taper through to the tail section, the wider diameter allows to have thinner and lighter carbon walls where there is no need for us to grip, but also more stiffness where it is most important.
