NeilPryde ATEC F 29
The NeilPryde ATEC F 29 is NeilPryde's high-end forged aluminum boom with a new 2025 look, designed to deliver high performance and withstand even the most intense sessions on the water. Engineered for maximum strength and rigidity, it's the brand's stiffest aluminum boom ever, designed as a true performance alternative to carbon booms.
Thanks to its 29mm diameter and high-strength forged aluminum construction, the ATEC F 29 offers solid grip and very direct power transmission, ideal for freeriding and freeracing on medium to large sized sails.
Main strengths
- Forged aluminum boom with a completely new look for 2025, designed to last and perform in every session.
- Engineered for maximum stiffness: this is the stiffest aluminium boom NeilPryde has ever produced.
- 29mm diameter for a full and very solid grip, ideal for riders who prefer a thicker grip and greater inertia in the hand.
- VT Joint with V-shaped mast cup for stable connection with the shaft and efficient power transmission.
- Cleat angle optimized for easy pulling and releasing of the clew line without unwanted slack.
Technologies and construction details
VT Joint
The VT Joint increases the contact area between the boom and mast, reducing the likelihood of point loads and minimizing play in the connection. It can be used with any standard SDM mast and makes it easy to adjust the boom height while maintaining very direct power transmission.
V-shaped Mast Cup
The mast cup provides two points of contact between the cup and the shaft, creating a stable connection and ensuring excellent power transmission. The V-shape accommodates variations in standard diameters: slightly thinner shafts sit deeper in the V, wider ones further out.
Optimized Cleat Angle
The new clew block angle is optimized to make tightening and loosening the line extremely easy, preventing the line from loosening or moving unintentionally during the session.
Integrated Boom Lever
The integrated boom lever allows for quick and intuitive locking and unlocking, and is designed with a small surface area and low weight to avoid weighing down the front end.
Trim-Pin Lever Design
The Trim-Pin system uses double inserts with an easy-to-operate lock/release lever, offering quick boom length adjustment. It ensures optimal load distribution and a rigid connection between the boom body and tail end, reducing unwanted flex.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the ATEC F 29 intended for?
The ATEC F 29 is designed for windsurfers looking for an extremely stiff aluminum boom for medium to large sails, with a solid feel in the hand and performance close to carbon booms.
What is the main difference compared to the ATEC F 27?
The ATEC F 27 uses a slimmer diameter (27 mm) and covers a wider, all-round size range, while the ATEC F 29 is specifically dedicated to the 180-230 range with a 29 mm diameter to pad the grip and better support large sails.
Is it compatible with RDM trees?
Yes, in the comparison table it says RDM/SDM shim “Yes”, so the boom can be used with both SDM masts and RDM masts using the appropriate shim/adapter.
Does it have built-in pulleys for adjustable outhaul?
No, the ATEC F 29 does not have integrated adjustable outhaul sheaves; the clew is managed via blocks with optimized angles and a traditional line system.
Why choose an ATEC F 29 instead of a carbon boom?
Because it offers very high rigidity and great strength at a lower cost than carbon booms, making it ideal for those who frequently sail with large sails and are looking for maximum reliability and durability over time.
