// New design for 2010One of the most visibly radical changes you’ll notice across the 2010 NeilPryde collection is the form of the new ‘S’ shaped booms. The simple shape belies a complex intelligence. The new boom profile is engineered to place drivers naturally closer to the sail, firmly in control with a more intuitive body position; The boom shape also compensates for wind pressure change by dynamically assisting with a stable sail shape - when the pressure arrives - relax, your boom knows how to handle it.
So with all this power, is it going straight to the head? The new Pressure Flow Forging head section explodes a few myths around traditional construction methods for aluminum booms. Utilizing industry first pressure flow forging, the heads are produced with seamless material integrity and unprecedented strength, rigidity and endurance for the most demanding riders.
Lighter. Stronger. Stiffer - ‘S’ booms are also available in the wider ‘new school’ head profile in 140cm and 160cm, in the X3 and X6 aluminum and hybrid series.
