I might be wrong here but the v1 boom fits the v2 so the v2 mod will work for v1 too. See

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Wing-Foiling/Wind-Wings/New-Duotone-Echo-Wing?page=2

see DWFs three videos in that link or on YouTube. I made 3 of these booms.

Yep; the head is not a lot different due to the curved plastic bit but in my view you really notice it at the mid-tail section. It is sealed so doesn't sink as readily but of course being a thin hollow tube doesn't have the huge flotation of the Unit or Slick Centre strut. I'm not in huge waves just swell and on a larger board so have not really experienced the sinking/starting issues others have mentioned. Having said that the idea is to keep it out of the water . and it's above your head where the light boom really comes into its own.

cheers

Interesting that he says there is 3/4 inch adjustment on the boom? I regularly go out and adjust 4 or 5 holes to flatten off the wing due to wind increasing or putting some draft back into the wing when the wind drops.

Carbon boom looks nice but i need that adjustment where I live.

Yeah I'm not sure how that "adjustment" works, I'm guessing you could (in theory) have a long and a short end string each with a loop and choose the one you want to use before you go out. I'd not be keen to attempt to change it on the hop. You wouldn't be adjusting it 4-5 holes though. I just leave it fixed at the strong wind length.
