The compatibility of the PVC booms assures quick and easy use, while providing AWSA tournament level accuracy. The snap buttons, which are used to telescope and lock the booms together are smooth, rounded, and easy to push. A printed line along the PVC booms makes it simple to align the buttons and holes for quick operation. Insta-Slalom also invented the use of internal flotation in the PVC booms, which prevent sagging, to insure accuracy. There is a hole in the center of the flotation, which allows the water to drain in and out of the pipe, to prevent air pockets or trapping of water inside of booms.
Some courses use loose bolts or pins, which take more time and can be lost or dropped overboard.
The lines are designed to stretch when hit, to prevent damage to the course. Top Of Page BUOY TIES Insta-Slalom provides buoy ties as another safety feature, as well as for quickness. The ties are to be attached to the eye of the buoy to prevent damage to the buoy or the course by disengaging if struck or pulled with great force. With Insta-Slalom everything is completely assembled, ready to use. There are several options available to suit your needs.
