The carbon Platinum made in Aerospace.Prepreg.Technology is an absolute must for performance-oriented experts. Thanks to the mega stiff monocoque construction, it is considered to be the lightest and stiffest boom on the market. To meet the highest requirements, NorthSails now offer three different models: Wave/Freestyle (140) Slalom/Formula (170/190/240 cm) and brand new Wave/Freeride (160). The smaller opening angle at the front and the wider tail result in the new Even.Curve, which ensures a uniform pull onto front- and backhand. This improves the handling during wave riding and freestyle moves and leaves the rider feeling less fatigue. It comes with the iTail.Wave.Fitting featuring a patented loop-loop-go fitting (perfect friction-free rope alignment) and a complete non-slip EVA gripping! For maximum gripping comfort all Platinum.

Wave booms still come with an inside tail-end.For unique grip comfort and a secure hold during duck jibes, the tail end also features the Inside.Gripped.Tail. In addition to being incredibly lightweight, the all-new iFront 2.0 front-end and the rigidity of the monocoque construction; probably make this the highest quality wave/freeride boom that has ever been produced. The Platinum Race sizes, however, feature extensive Race/Formula bend-curves and are equipped with the new iFront 2.0 head with minimum torsional flex. All Platinum.Race booms come with an individual Outside.Tail.End for 20% increased stiffness. Platinum 190cm and 240cm have the same boom body, and therefore are extremely extendable thanks to two Oversized.Outside tail-ends of different lengths avoiding the loss of stiffness even when fully extended! Another highlight is the iTail.Race.Fitting featuring low-friction Teflon-POM rollers. Absolutely unique: The rope can be looped even when using an outhaul trim system.

Available sizes:

• 140 - 190cm [RDM] wave series / newschool - for freestyle / wave riding [diameter 28mm]
• 160 - 220cm [RDM+SDM] wave series hybrid - for wave / freeride riding [diameter 28mm]
• 170 - 210cm [SDM] - for slalom/formula riding [diameter 30mm]
• 190 - 250cm [SDM] - for slalom/formula riding [diameter 30mm]
• 240 - 290cm [SDM] - for slalom/formula riding [diameter 30mm]

Features

iFront 2.0
The technical masterpiece which makes all NorthSails booms even more functional: iFRONT 2.0 the latest front-end of the next generation. The STREAMLINER.DESIGN has aerodynamic as well as weight-oriented advantages. It doesn’t just look slimmer and smoother, the iFRONT 2.0 is also a whopping 35% lighter than its predecessor! With 345 grams it is the lightest front-end on the market! This exceptional fit is guaranteed on SDM as well as RDM masts as the iFRONT 2.0 can easily be adapted through the exchange of 2 different friction pads.

Protection Grip
The high-density EVA grip insert at the outside guarantees maximum abrasion resistance during rigging.

Outside Tail
All PLATINUM RACE SERIES and GOLD RS booms feature the individual OUTSIDE.TAIL-END with an increased diameter. The high cross-section makes the boom 20% stiffer.

Inside Gripped Tail
The EVA-gripped tail-end guarantees anti-slip. A reduced diameter of the inside tail-end additionally increases grip-comfort up to a maximum.

iTail Race Fitting
Rigging without threading - even when using an adjustable outhaul-system. The ultimate highlight is the all new iTail.Race fitting. The Teflon-POM synthetics build rollers feature a minimum of friction. Additionally, this unique solution allows to loop the rope even when using an adjustable outhaul-kit!

iTail Wave Fitting
Frictionless alignment plus excess rope storage. The iTAIL.WAVE fitting offers 2 revolutionary details:

• The patented LOOP.LOOP.GO 2.0 function guarantees an ideal 100% frictionless alignment of the rope!
• Instead of tying the excess rope around the tube you just wrap it around the integrated "bridge" at the bottom side - the cleanest and fastest solution ever!

2 year warranty (excluding grip)
NorthSails offers extended two year warranty for their booms after registering the product on their website.
