Why Choose a Boom?

Unlike fixed handles, a boom gives you complete freedom to position your hands exactly where you want them.

This creates significant advantages:

  • Smoother transitions
  • Easier hand repositioning
  • More efficient pumping
  • Better leverage
  • Improved freestyle control
  • Greater comfort during long sessions

Whether you're carving waves or cruising long distances, a boom allows your movements to feel more natural and fluid.


Dyna-Link Connection System

The Carbon Boom uses Armstrong's Dyna-Link mounting system, designed to create an exceptionally secure interface between the boom and the wing.

The result is:

✓ Fast installation

✓ Rock-solid connection

✓ No unwanted movement

✓ Consistent performance

✓ Easy removal for transport

Once installed, the boom feels like an integrated part of the wing rather than an accessory.


Carbon Construction

Constructed from premium carbon fibre, the boom combines:

  • High stiffness
  • Low weight
  • Excellent durability
  • Reduced flex
  • Direct steering response

Every movement of your hands is transferred immediately into the wing, creating a crisp and predictable riding experience.

This stiffness is particularly noticeable during pumping, where less energy is lost through flex.


Freedom of Hand Placement

One of the greatest advantages of a boom is the ability to slide your hands naturally into the perfect position.

Benefits include:

✓ Faster tacks and gybes

✓ Comfortable one-handed riding

✓ Better trimming of the wing

✓ Easier wave riding

✓ Greater control during jumps

Rather than searching for handles, your hands simply move where they need to be.


Efficient Pumping

The stiffness and continuous grip of the Carbon Boom make pumping feel noticeably more effective.

Because your hands can move freely and leverage remains consistent, you can generate smoother, more powerful pumping motions while using less energy.

This is especially valuable when:

  • Water starting
  • Riding in marginal wind
  • Connecting swell
  • Recovering after touchdowns

Lightweight Performance

Every gram matters.

The Carbon Boom has been engineered to minimise weight while maintaining exceptional structural integrity.

The lighter swing weight improves:

  • Wing handling
  • Manoeuvrability
  • Transitions
  • Wave drifting
  • Rider comfort during long sessions

The result is a wing that feels lively and effortless in your hands.


Compatibility

The Dyna-Link Carbon Boom is designed for Armstrong wings equipped with the Dyna-Link system, including:

  • A-Wing XPS Mk II
  • X-Wing Performance

Using one boom across multiple wing sizes simplifies your quiver and reduces overall equipment costs.


Who Is This Boom For?

Perfect for riders who:

✓ Want maximum wing control.

✓ Ride regularly.

✓ Enjoy wave riding.

✓ Pump frequently.

✓ Downwind.

✓ Value premium equipment.

✓ Prefer the freedom of a boom over fixed handles.


Who Should NOT Buy It?

If you're completely new to wing foiling, fixed carbon handles remain an excellent option and may feel more familiar while learning.

However, as your riding progresses, many riders eventually transition to a boom because of its superior versatility and natural hand positioning.

Real World Performance

Experience

After switching to the Dyna-Link Carbon Boom, going back to individual handles feels surprisingly restrictive.

The ability to place your hands exactly where you want them transforms the riding experience. Pumping becomes smoother, transitions feel more natural and subtle trim adjustments happen instinctively rather than requiring you to search for the next handle.

In Mui Ne’s varied conditions—from light morning sessions to strong afternoon thermals—we’ve found the boom particularly valuable during long rides, wave sessions and downwinders where comfort and efficiency really matter.

For riders who spend a lot of time on the water, it’s one of the most rewarding upgrades in the Armstrong range.

Things We Love

  • Outstanding stiffness
  • Extremely lightweight
  • Unlimited hand positioning
  • Smooth transitions
  • Excellent pumping efficiency
  • Premium construction quality

Things To Know
