The super-lightweight carbon PLATINUM in AEROSPACE PREPREG TECHNOLOGY is designed for experienced and performance-oriented riders with its ultra-stiff monocoque design. Word has long since got around that even PWA team riders of other rig brands buy the PLATINUM.
In order to meet the toughest challenges, three fully customised concepts are at the start:
› Wave >< Freestyle (140/150)
› Wave >< Freeride (160)
› Slalom >< Formula (170/190/240)
Wave series:
The bending line of the short lengths with a smaller opening angle at the front and wider tail end combine to form the EVEN CURVE, which ensures a more even pull on the mast and backhand. This improves handling when riding the waves and lessens fatigue when performing freestyle moves. The iTAIL WAVE FITTING with patented Loop-Loop-Go fitting (perfectly frictionless rope alignment) and complete nonslip grip coating is installed to match the range of use. For maximum grip comfort, the tail end is still inserted. By popular request, the PLATINUM is now also available in a MEGA SLIM version as the thinnest carbon boom worldwide with only 24.0 mm tube diameter (140-180 and 150-200).
Hybrid series:
The wave/freeride version with HYBRID.CURVE was developed specifically for sail sizes 4.5 to 7.8, which can unfold optimally – in the truest sense of the word. For the very best grip comfort and secure hold when performing duck gybes, the tail end is half coated with Pro-Grip (INSIDE 50% GRIPPED TAIL). The low weight, iFRONT 2.0 front end and the stiffness of the monocoque design make it the highest-quality wave/freeride boom currently available.
Race series:
The large PLATINUM booms have tried-and-tested race/slalom bend curves.
The PLATINUM 170 features a 28.5 mm grip diameter, which is ideal for small and medium slalom sails and all freerace sail sizes.
Attention: the 170 length is mainly focussed on racing generating maximum stiffness despite the inside tail end and the rather "small“ grip diameter. This we can only achieve through a certain pretension between the tail end and the body. This makes the PLATINUM 170 the stiffest boom on the market of its kind. Unfortunately though this pretension has a negative effect on the comfort while adjusting the length.
The 160 length (freeride focus) however features the same body as the 170 combined with a tail-end with a smaller opening angle. This results in a 20% lower stiffness but a much higher comfort when adjusting the length.
The PLATINUM 190 and 240 feature a 30 mm grip diameter and custom OUTSIDE TAIL ends for 30% increased stiffness. The OUTSIDE TAIL also ensures that maximum stiffness is obtained even when fully extended.
An additional highlight is the iTAIL RACE FITTING, whose Teflon POM plastic rollers minimise friction. Absolutely unique: The ropes can even be looped while an outhaul trimming system is in use (patent pending).

PLATINUM SERIES 170-230 Race (28mm) dark blue-light blue
Gebruik als even mogelijk een Deep Tuttle Adapter als je een Tuttle vin in een Deep Tuttle Box wil gaan gebruiken.
Picture is showing damage made by using tuttle box fin into deep tuttle box board. Yellow arrows are showing the crack made by the fin base. When you are fixing the fin into the board you are applying force with tightening the screws and the fin base is pulled inside the board. This way, the fin is pushing into front and back of the box. The blue arrow is showing the direction of the force and as a consequence the box is cracked. Water is entering and we all know the scenario. Red arrow is showing the deepest point of tuttle base into deep tuttle box. This is also the point where the crack ends.
The Firestorm is a killer freerace machine with pure blood slalom DNA. With its parallel lines in the mid/front section, smaller cut-outs and dedicated wingered/toro tail, makes the Firestorm controllable and easier to jibe than a slalom board and consequently excels using both freerace and cam race sails. The Firestorm Y28 comes with a new full carbon LTD technology delivers incredible lightness and strength combining a full carbon deck with a glass bottom. If you want to be on the tip of your top speed potential at all times, the Firestorm is your choice.
Entirely built with a completely new 100 grms /sqmt Biaxial super light carbon fibers both on deck and bottom. The lightest yet reliable layup construction ever developed on a racing machine!
NEW, re-designed shapes enhancing control in overpowered situations, allow earlier planing, smoother gliding, and quickly accelerating after jibes . Needs anything else? The refined slalom scoop-rocker line ensures streamlined handling, bursting acceleration, and top speeds on any water surface. The deep deck concave configuration delivers lower sail foot placement, increasing stability after gybing and improving planing and acceleration post-mark.
THE FASTEST NO CAM EVER, WITH 7 TUBULAR BATTENS TO FOLLOW THE PURE SLALOM P7 PEDIGREE.
DESIGNED FOR: Slalom speed seekers, who don’t like the hassle of cams. If cambered sails are not your cup of tea, then the sheer performance specs and looks of the AC-0 should be the one for you. Let the wind fill in the sail, and you’ll be smiling seeing others eating your spray!
Four-Batten wave sail • Fast and agile while riding waves • Quick to respond to any wave maneuvers • Ultra-light in your hands • Plenty of useable bottom end grunt • Soft and forgiving • On-off capacity • Formidable weapon on the wave and in transition. • Dual rigging options according to conditions. • PWA Vice-World Champion The SALT has been part of a continuous evolution since it was first introduced.
