Goya - Aluminum Boom - Reduced Diameter Boom

FAQ

Who is the Goya aluminum fork boom with reduced diameter suitable for?

The Goya aluminum fork boom is aimed at windsurfers who have a limited budget but still want top performance on the water. It works as a solid all-round boom for beginners, intermediate riders, and anyone looking for a robust, durable companion.

What material is the Goya aluminum fork boom made of?

The fork boom is made of 6061-T6 aluminum. Goya specifically uses this alloy because it offers the optimal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and value for money for saltwater use.

What lengths are available for the Goya aluminum fork boom?

The fork boom is available in the adjustable ranges of 110-160 cm, 130-180 cm, 140-190 cm, 150-200 cm, 160-200 cm, 180-220 cm, 190-230 cm, and 200-250 cm, so you can choose the right size for your sail and your height.

Does the Goya aluminum fork boom fit RDM and SDM masts?

Yes, with the integrated adapter, the Goya fork boom fits both RDM and SDM masts. When using the RDM shim, an additional 2 cm must be added for length adjustment.

How thick is the grip area of the Goya aluminum fork boom?

Smaller sizes measure 27.1 mm, while larger models taper from 26 mm at the front to 29.5 mm towards the tail. The stated diameters refer to the boom tube without grip tape; the grip tape adds an additional 1.5 mm on each side.

What advantages does the reduced diameter offer when riding?

The reduced grip diameter ensures fatigue-free gripping and more control, so that even long sessions on the water remain comfortable – especially pleasant for beginners and anyone who values a manageable feel.

How robust is the front end of the Goya aluminum fork boom?

The fork boom comes with the Goya double-pin locking system and a very robust front end. The one-piece monocoque construction is structurally identical to the carbon fork booms and delivers high stiffness as well as strength, even when the boom is fully extended.

How do I properly care for the Goya aluminum fork boom?

Rinse the fork boom with fresh water after every session to remove salt and dirt, and store it dry. This keeps the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy corrosion-resistant in the long term and the locking elements functional.
