I bent my aluminum booms last year getting rinsed. Just curious, since I'm
in the market again, what others thought of carbon booms, especially for use
in surf. I always thought that aluminum was preferable over carbon in waves
because of it's ability to bend rather than break. However, I've heard
that aluminum's tensile strength isn't that great, has the tendency to break
rather than bend, and it corrodes inside where it is undetectable. Input on
brands would be appreciated, too. I know (think) that Fiberspar fixed their
problems from a couple years back, lots of folks tend to have them, but the
all-carbon Chinooks look pretty nice (pretty hefty price tag, too!).

Thanks.
