Thx mate did you find it a lot better with a carbon boom
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
