2012 Neil Pryde X9 Windsurfing Boom

The Neil Pryde X9 new windsurfing boom is an Advanced / Pro level boom for all areas of windsurfing. In contrast to a traditional boom that has convex and straight outline sections, the Neil Pryde 140 and 160 windsurfing booms have an S shape concave section at the highest loading point (the back hand section). With traditional booms, as there is more force at the backhand section, (such as when landing jumps or sailing overpowered), a straight/convex outline is free to bend out, making the boom feel soft and actually making the sail profile deeper as the boom gets shorter. On the “S” boom this force is applied against the concave “S” section resulting in much improved stiffness as well as keeping the sail profile stable as the boom length does not change under load.

The mast cup interior of the VT-Joint creates a V shape that accommodates variation in standard mast diameters. The V shape provides a second point of contact between the cup and the mast creating a tighter connection and a greater transmission of power. Slightly thinner masts simply sit further into the V while fatter ones sit lower down. 

Featured on all booms for ease of adjustment (except the X9 race booms). The Twin-Pin design provides optimal load distribution and a stiff connection between the boom body and tail end.
