Contour Waterski Boom Buyers Guide

I know what a waterskiing boom is, but what is a contour water skiing boom?

If you have ever wanted to learn to water ski, wakeboard, kneeboard, slalom ski, or even barefoot water ski, then you definitely need to find out what all the hype is about the water skiing contour boom. The key to your water skiing goals is the contour boom is a barefoot boom that has been bent to work around the side windshield frames and wakeboard tower bases so that the boom

To understand why there are contour booms, you need to know a little about ski pylon construction. Ski pylons are generally made from high quality aircraft aluminum, and are built into the construction of the boat in order to reinforce the pylon. These are for attaching a ski rope. They are also a great place to attach a boom.

I order to mount a boom securely, you have to have an area that has a consistent diameter on the ski pylon. Many ski pylons have been tapered to look better, but this limits the area for mounting the boom clamp. The clamp must be below the taper and this is one of the main reasons for having a contour that allows the boom to be maneuvered properly.

Never, never, never put a boom clamp on a tapered area of the ski pylon. This could result in the boom flying off of the ski pylon. The contour booms' design allows for the clamp can be attached closer to the floor of the boat. A properly mounted boom clamp must be an unmovable base for the rest of the boom.

In order for a contour water ski boom to stay strong forever with all the bends and the leverage or water skiing, it must be constructed out of the best material. Years of product testing has shown that only high quality aircraft aluminum will meet these demands.

The same strength and flexibility needed for aircraft wings is needed for a contoured water ski boom. Just as an airplane wing is designed to last forever, so is a properly constructed boom. Although only the highest quality aircraft aluminum passes stress tests, many manufacturers buy aluminum that does not meet aircraft quality.

Fortunately, there is a huge tip I can give you to help determine the construction of your boom. All you have to do is look at the sections that attaches to the boom clamp. It needs to be solid aluminum and not hollowed. Knowledge of this simple fact sets you apart as an expert.

Another great insider tip is, always demand that your contour boom comes with a lifetime guarantee on all aluminum parts. The confidence of knowing that your boom was built to last forever will give you a great peace of mind knowing that your family and friends will be safe.

Contour water ski booms come in three flavors;

the single straight water ski contour boom, the universal contour boom, and the quad contour boom

A factory trained contour boom specialist can identify the boom that you need for your boat. Never deal with someone who is unfamiliar with the different boom types.
