Our NeilPryde Booms Range

Our NeilPryde windsurf booms selection includes models designed for every sailor type:

• Wave Booms: Lighter, more responsive constructions that favour quick manoeuvres and control in chop. Look for compact lengths (typically 140–160 cm) that pair with smaller wave sails.
• Freeride Booms: Balanced carbon and aluminium constructions offering durability and adjustability across mid-range wind speeds. These are the workhorse NeilPryde windsurf booms for versatility.
• Freestyle Booms: Precision-engineered for trick progression, with boom lengths suited to freestyle sail profiles and premium grip tape for control during rotations and flips.

Sizes typically range from 120 cm to 220 cm, with diameter options (19 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm) to suit your mast and sailing style. NeilPryde windsurf booms often feature their signature soft-touch grip, reinforced boom ends, and adjustable outhaul systems that make tuning your rig fast and intuitive.

Expert Advice

Choosing Your NeilPryde Boom: Start with boom length. A general rule is to add 10–20 cm to your sail's luff length, but wave sailors often go shorter for manoeuvrability, while cruisers prefer longer booms for leverage. Check your mast diameter—NeilPryde offers 19 mm (lightweight, modern), 22 mm (standard), and 25 mm (extra stiff, vintage masts). If you're upgrading from an older boom, test fit before committing; the difference between boom diameters and grip styles is noticeable once you're rigged.

Durability Tips: NeilPryde windsurf booms are built to last, but sand and salt accelerate wear. Rinse after every session, especially around boom ends and the outhaul mechanism. Check your boom end screws and spreader bar tension every few sessions—vibration can loosen hardware over time.

Pairing with Sails: A NeilPryde boom should feel balanced in your hands. If you're spinning the boom constantly to trim, the length or diameter may not suit your technique.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between NeilPryde boom diameters?
A: 19 mm booms are lighter and flex more, suiting modern high-modulus masts and freestyle. 22 mm is the standard—compatible with most masts and offering balanced stiffness. 25 mm is stiffer and suits older, thicker masts. Check your mast before ordering.

Q: How do I measure boom length?
A: Boom length is measured along the boom tube's underside, from the boom end to the mast. Most sailors choose a length 10–20 cm longer than their sail's luff. Wave sailors often go shorter (140–160 cm); freeride sailors use 150–180 cm; cruisers 180–220 cm. We can advise on sizing at Surf Store.

Q: Are NeilPryde booms worth the investment?
A: Yes, especially if you're committed to progression. NeilPryde windsurf booms hold resale value, last many seasons with care, and deliver the responsive feedback that helps you improve technique. Budget models sacrifice feel and durability; NeilPryde delivers both.
