Why Should I Buy an RDG Boom Over a Normal Width Boom?

Choosing an RDG boom over a standard boom gives you several real, practical advantages — especially if you care about control, comfort, performance, and long-term value. 1. Better Strength-to-Weight Ratio RDG booms use high-quality aluminium and precision engineering to be stiff without heavy weight.A standard width boom may feel heavier or less responsive under load.The RDG boom feels lighter in the hands, making long sessions easier on your arms. 2. Improved Control and Responsiveness The RDG boom’s design reduces flex under tension.This means when you sheet in or out, the response feels more direct.Standard width booms often have more play and feel less precise. 3. Comfortable Grip for Long Sessions RDG handles usually have quality EVA grip that stays secure even when wet.Many standard booms use thinner or less supportive grip material.This reduces hand fatigue and improves comfort over hours on the water. 4. Stronger Clamp and Adjustment System RDG booms are built with robust clamps and easy-to-use adjustment markings.This makes setup faster and more accurate each session.Basic booms sometimes feel flimsy or slip under tension. 5. Versatility for Different Riding Styles Whether you freeride, slalom, or hit choppy conditions, the RDG boom performs consistently.Its balanced width and stiffness help in varied conditions.Standard booms can feel inconsistent when switching between freeride and more aggressive maneuvers. 6. Longer Lifespan with Less Maintenance The machining and finishing on RDG booms are designed to resist corrosion and wear.They clean up easily after sessions in saltwater or winter conditions.Budget or basic booms can wear faster, especially in rough use. 7. A Better Upgrade Over Entry-Level Booms For riders moving past beginner kits, the RDG boom is a noticeable upgrade.You feel the difference in how the rig holds tension and responds.This improves your confidence and helps progression.

This makes a real difference on long rides or gusty days.

The boom uses precision CNC-cut aluminium parts. These parts ensure the clamp and tail pieces remain secure under tension. Easy to maintain, these booms require only fresh water rinsing after sessions. Clean off sand and salt to preserve longevity. This boom pairs well with most windsurf rigs. It works with freeride, wave, and performance sails. For height and width adjustments, the markings are clear and easy to use. You can quickly match your favourite rig settings.

Adding a quality boom increases control over your sail. It helps improve upwind performance and planing response. If you are upgrading from an entry-level boom, you will notice a more direct feel. The board responds more quickly to sheet changes. The comfort grip also reduces slippage without creating pressure points. You can ride longer with less hand fatigue.
