Yes you can. The Chinook all carbon booms are excellent - and they're $75 -
$100 cheaper than the Fiberspars. All I've seen this season is the
Fiberspars, that are only a year old, breaking. Front ends, back ends, you
name it.

Go Chinook carbon!!!!

Subject: Fiberspar boom front end replacement

Has anybody tried replacing the carbon front end of a Fiberspar All
Carbon
boom? I bought a carbon front end replacement kit, but the instructions
are
for replacing an aluminum front end with a carbon front end. The main
difficulty is how to remove the old carbon front end from the carbon
boom
spars; they are epoxied together and I'm not sure of the best way to
seperate them.

BTW, I bought this Fiberspar All Carbon boom in April '98 and it now has
signficant cracks in the front end. We can put a man on the moon but
still
can't build a boom that lasts more than a few of my typical windsurf
seasons
