hello! i'm a fan of your products.. now i'considering a new boom for my 11mts sail(260-boom) to replace my old and elastic gun boom

on the st formula 2006.
Is the alu race 250-270 really stiff? i need for a recreational use , not regattas, but i want to pump with it without posibility that broken.
I know tha a maui salis is better but is really necessary for a non comp use?
Any suggestion??
regards and sorry for my poor english

!!
