Anyone got any feedback on the Enigman Wave boom from Severene? Any ideas on cost and where to get one?
Cheers
Dave
Got to use one a few weeks ago,it is awesome!!!, like no other boom on the market.
I have been using pryde x9 booms for the last few years and compared to the enigma they floppy(at the adjustment point)heavy and fat,also have had to replace the mast clamp lever on them.
The severne boom is stiffer and lighter than you could ever imagine.Some of us that used it commented that you wouldn't want to head butt it and it could knock your teeth out.
It is way thinner than other booms on the market,I think 25mm, like a kids or chicks boom.
It was the same weight as my sons kids boom,extremely light.
Cost? priceless I reckon!
Where to buy? Let me know if you find out! I sooo badly want 1,make that 2.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Certainly sounds like I better get one! I've sent a note through the Severne website so will let you know when I get a response.

Hi Dave,
The Enigma Wave booms have been really popular since they arrived in the country.
We actually have sold out but have a new shipment due this week.
The RRP of them is $1095.
To find your nearest retailer check out the link below. Anyone on that list will be able to order one in for you.

Hey Wenkie,
only you could afford one of those booms! I have demo-ed one and they are as good as people say but a bit out of my league.
By the way I've still got the Pryde carbon boom you still sold me all those years ago in Maui,
all the best

i've had one for about 8 months and it's definately the best boom i've ever owned hands down.. i even run it on a 6m and it feels the same as it does on a 4.7.. most booms start to fell floppy on lots of extension but these are sweet.. the grip size lets you really feel the sail and control it and the width is perfect for wavesailing,
yer they are a bit pricey but well worth the cash for something you will use for years...
The enigma boom is around $950 if memory serves me correctly.
damn good price for the quality of it too, i havnt sailed with one yet but i had a play with it in the shop and damn it feels good! VERY stiff and just awesome to hold onto at 25mm
One day i will have one haha! ![]()
I still own an Aeron carbon wave 150, this boom is stiff, width is good, even has a 26mm grip, good boom but the weight to get it this good, they had to use a bit to much carbon and it weighs alot for a wave boom, so benefits of a light carbon boom go out the window.
used a few HPL's ect to but only for test sails..
And alloy i've had a stack and they all feel pretty good until you extend them out a bit, then spongy..
The enigma was just a test ride, and i had to buy it because i wasn't giving it back and it's 140 long so only now need to carry one boom for 4.0 to 6.0 and it fells sweet on every sail..
And yes my rig is super lite and i'm lovin it..
