This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to regrip a windsurfing boom grip. Part one shows how to remove and clean the boom from the old grip, while part two explains how to install the new grip.

To re-grip a boom, start at the front of the boom arm and place the front of the grip in-line or slightly over the masking tape. Align the outer most edge of the boom with the center of the grip.

Anti-slip heat shrink wraps can be purchased on eBay for re-gripping fishing rods. Use a hairdryer to shrink the wraps.

Remove the old grip and apply it from the mast clamp using a heat gun on medium heat. Test on a small offcut if unsure.

Try stretching the grip longitudinally as you go around the curve at the front of the boom to make it curl around the boom. Once satisfied, use 800 grit sandpaper and give both boom arms a light sanding.

In summary, re-gripping a windsurfing boom grip is a simple and effective process that can save your boom from looking old and dirty.
