**Jesse Davis** · 07-14-2009, 05:50 PM

**Joey Peters** · 07-14-2009, 05:51 PM

**EastCoastSkim21** · 07-14-2009, 05:54 PM

I fracking love my Zap Boom and im sure alot of people on the east coast agree it is one of the most popular pro models

**Khoi** · 07-14-2009, 05:58 PM

**mattyb** · 07-14-2009, 06:01 PM

**MC372** · 07-14-2009, 09:21 PM

I have a boom too love it. Just got back from california and it held up pretty nice out there

**Andy Schaaf** · 07-14-2009, 10:30 PM

veryyyy good board. probably the best by Zap.

**Yoshi** · 07-14-2009, 10:44 PM

best board out there right now really easy to turn really floaty

**rockthejdub93** · 07-15-2009, 07:41 AM

its probably my second pick... hence my somb name rockthejdub. the jason wilson pro model is a little different its a little narrower and has more rocker but booms are sick as well

**solvenskim** · 07-15-2009, 01:37 PM

Favorite board I have ever owned.

**SteveTaylor** · 07-15-2009, 02:21 PM

I don't know crap about this here board, but I sure do hope to ride my skimboard with him while he's riding his skimboard, and have a gay old time. super homo like.

**CaboWabo** · 07-15-2009, 02:37 PM

I got to ride one once. Was fast, turned real easy, and had float for days. I just ordered a JDUB though...can't wait.

**megadeth** · 07-15-2009, 03:08 PM

**Dr Higg** · 07-15-2009, 03:46 PM

It is carbon, and correct me if i'm wrong, but carbon snaps easier and is stiffer than e/s glass...

**ejb** · 07-16-2009, 08:01 AM

i love my boom. favorite board i've owned and i've basically had one from all the major companies. idk why i've heard the misconception that 'they can't ride in california' because i just got back from there as well and was skimming just as well as locals w/ other boards.

**skimdewey** · 07-16-2009, 11:57 AM

lol i guess its decided then

rode Jason's love board and a couple other ones he has liked them alot. It set at 3/4s tapered on the nose/tail to about 5/8s unlike booms which tapers alot more on the nose/tail some to 1/4.
