shredulato, If you can't afford the Maui Sails boom and ultimately go with HPL, you really ought to consider upgrading the front end to the MS one. I have a 2003 HPL which I upgraded with the MS front end, and the difference is truly incredible. Needless to say, the old HPL front end was a terrible design that was a pain to attach and remove, and it never provided a solid attachment to the mast. I'm not sure of the design of HPL's most current front end, but I seriously doubt that it equals the MS one. |

| geo | Maui Sails. No problems, super tough. Default choice, no need to risk. |

I bought 3 Naish carbon booms (190-240) because : 1. They were available. 2. They were a good price. I agree thay felt "heavy" but havent bothered with actual comparisons because they have now been working well for several months and I have no complaints. |

Naish boom I personally used the Naish carbon boom 190-240. IMO, i will not recommend it. First of all, it is way heavier compared to other booms. Secondly, I have had this problem of the boom end popping loose when sailing, ...one side of the twin pin level burst loose during sailing ...unbelievable. So i ended up using duck tape to secure both sides of it. Can u imagine having to remove and put on new tape everytime u adjust the boom length? |

We are comparing 190-240. the boomhead on HPL is not the streamline type. Weight about 10-15% lighter than Maui . |

| Ken | The HPL formula booms weight a ton, much like the Maui Sails formula booms. Super stiff but heavy. The "streamline" type boom head on the HPL,s are crap. Replaced mine with a Maui Sails head. |

HPL is by far the best for price , weight and performance Maui is super stiff but weighs and cost more. Naish wide boom head don't seems to suit slalom board unless above 85cm |

NS are crap. The larger sizes fill with water and weigh an extra 1kg. THERE ARE NO DRAIN HOLES!? What were they thinking? |
