Hi Guys ,
I'm just getting back into sailing again,and I've upgraded to newer sails ,just managed to break my X5 boom in the setting up stage[brittle from a few years of storage I think].
Mainly wondering who sells Aeron booms[if any] in SE Queensland
After reading a few posts on here I thought I'd consider the aeron as a good replacement ,Ive got a Chinook that only goes to 214cm ,so I need something that goes to over 220cm+[approx 180-240] to fit on my 7.8 North Ram.
I'm in the heavier weight range 98kg,but I'd prefer to stick with alloy[$$$] and if I break a few then I will justify the $1000 for a carbon one then. Maybe false economy but I'll chance it .
Will also consider other brands, if I can't find the aeron,may get a newer chinook - The latest one's appear lighter[strength/weight] than my older one which I've been happy with.
I'd appreciate anyone else's Advice on this as I've been out of sailing for a while ,and I'm not very familar with the latest gear.
Try windsurfingsales for their Gun Mono booms - excellent quality and a bit cheaper.
Alternatively windsurfnsnow stock Aeron and I'm pretty sure they courier stuff around the country.
Thanks for the advice Guys,
I ended up going for a severne Alu race 190-240
[I should have noticed the Auswind clearance sale add on this site before this]
Thanks Geoff
I like the idea of the 33mm back end over the 29mm or thinner on other some other brands,Should be a little stronger for a heavier guy like myself.
Now all I need is someone to arrange a 15-20 knot S/Easter for the end of next week and I'll be a very happy camper 
Geoff beat me to it,but certainly can recommend the Severne.No problems so
far even after a couple of big get offs that would have bent other booms i
have owned.
