Slalom 170-230cm $169
I bought one of these about 2 years ago. Good boom. Good value. 
I got the Slalom last year to replace a broken NP X3. So far so good. Not the same stiffness as a full carbon boom though, but for recreation sailing very suitable.
Also got the wave alloy boom from them as well, quite good too. Price is the attractive thing, each alloy should last 2 seasons or more. Happy with both.
