SX8 Slim Wide

Performance Carbon Boom

Price range: 640 USD through 840 USD

The  SX8 is a high-performance pre-preg carbon boom that brings many of the standout features from our top-tier SX10—at a more accessible price point. Built using a standard grade of pre-preg carbon, the SX8 features a full carbon monocoque body and tail extension, delivering a ride that is stiff, lightweight, and extremely durable.

Now Featuring a Wider Tail – Enhanced Power and Sail Stability

The latest generation of the SX8 is now equipped with a wider tail end on the Wave and Freewave sizes. The wider tail allows you to rig your sail with more depth without the boom arms interfering with the sail profile, which:

  • Improves power delivery

  • Creates a more efficient twist

  • Promotes ideal rig dynamics

Whether you’re chasing early planing or sailing fully powered, the wider tail allows your rig to breathe freely and perform at its best.
