I deduced myself that HPL is not as stiff as FS by putting both
booms at the same length and flexing them with my little biceps.
Neil Pryde did pass my stiffness test. I checked the website below,
and the Makai does look good. I'll see if I can find one.

HPL's not as stiff as Fiberspar's?? Yeah right... Who told you
that? In any case, check out the new Windsurfing Hawaii Makai:
