Performance Carbon Boom
The SX8 is a high-performance pre-preg carbon boom that brings many of the standout features from our top-tier SX10—at a more accessible price point. Built using a 80% pre-preg carbon, the SX8 features a full carbon monocoque body and tail extension, delivering a ride that is stiff, lightweight, and extremely durable.
Now Featuring a Wider Tail – Enhanced Power and Sail Stability
The latest generation of the SX8 is now equipped with a wider tail end on the Wave and Freewave sizes. The wider tail allows you to rig your sail with more depth without the boom arms interfering with the sail profile, which:
- Improves power delivery
- Creates a more efficient twist
- Promotes ideal rig dynamics
Whether you’re chasing early planing or sailing fully powered, the wider tail allows your rig to breathe freely and perform at its best.

SX Outhaul Pulley

A robust rope hook provides superb stability, while the boom lever allows you to effortlessly apply tension and secure the boom in the correct position.
All SX8 booms include an integrated shim, making them compatible with both SDM and RDM masts.
