Bob Burwell is one of Australia's best known boomerang throwers and a top rated world competitor. Bob is the son of Ces Burwell, who was also a well known boomerang maker and thrower in the 1940s - 1970s.

This very large traditional boomerang was made in 1973. It was made with very long blades to give it higher inertia and better wind resistance, thus the name "Windcheater". This boomerang has the Burwell boomerang logo on the underside with the name "BOB" above the logo. There is a thick coating of high gloss varnish or polyurethane and white/gold & black bands painted on both blades. The flight range is 30 -40 metres. This boomerang is in very good condition except for wear along the blade lengths from frequent use. This is a very rare and collectable Burwell boomerang.
