North Sails - Booms 2009 - PLATINUM Series

PLATINUM Series

• (Available March 2009)
  
  The new carbon PLATINUM was designed from scratch, and is now manufactured using aerospace prepreg technology (same as used for our masts) for the first time. This also applies to the new, white tail ends. To meet even the highest requirements, we distinguish between Wave to Freestyle lengths from 1.40 to 1.50 m and longer Slalom and Formula lengths of 1.80 m to 2.60 m. The bending curve of the short sizes features the New School shape, preventing the rider’s front arm from being overstretched. The large sizes, however, feature extensive Race bending curves. All models are equipped with the radical iFRONT head, whose flex and absorption can be adjusted in three steps from comfortable to ultra-stiff. New: PLATINUM 215cm and 260cm have the same boom body, and are extremely extendable thanks to two OVERSIZED.OUTSIDE tail ends of different lengths. As a result, the 215cm size can now be extended to 310cm by simply replacing the tail end, without compromising its rigidity! The short PLATINUM models still have an inserted tail end for maximum grip comfort. The short and long versions also differ in tube diameter: extra grip with 28mm for lengths up to 1.50 m, and super-stiff 30mm diameter for the longer booms.
