I broke a total of 4 fiberspar booms starting a couple of years ago across
2 seasons, and fiberspar/asd stood behind them. My last one, now in its 3rd
season is holding up well; been out in surf. I am looking for to replace
an ancient windsurf hawaii for small sails. Not necessarily sold on
carbon; in sub-5.0 conditions (195lbs) I'm frankly not that concerned w/
weight and speed. Does religious fresh water rinsing of alum boom help the
corrosion problem?
