Hi, I'm now living near Elk Rapids, MI and I'm wondering what launches people like around here, especially Elk, Torch, and East Bay. I know I should probably just pick based on the wind, but to be hon ... |

Hey, sorry for the ethernet silence, I didn't mean to ignore the thread.

Why is a double block better than the burger? It seems you get more boom length and at least equal expense. Perhaps a block is more rigid than a burger, though? EDIT: left out "rigid"

Sailboarder: that's a good point; actually, My current boom would fit an average 8.5, but only at maximum extension, and it's pretty squishy at that length. But I'm thinking of switching over to the s ... |
