John Flynn has been one of America's top boomerang throwers for almost 3 decades. John is especially well known for his competitiveness in the Fast Catch event. However, John is skilled in all of the competition events and has been a prominent member of an American boomerang team in almost every international event. John makes a large percentage of the boomerangs in his throw kit. He also made a series of 100 strip laminated omegas and hooks that had the same high performance as the famous Gerhards hooks and omegas. Very few Flynn boomerangs make it into collections because John rarely made anything for sale to others.

Before competitors were allowed to use tribladers in tournaments, the typical Fast Catch boomerang was a large V with the dingle arm longer than the lift arm and with the underside scooped out to add camber and reduce the ratio of inertia to lift. Tuning, weights and tape were also necessary to fine tune the Fast Catch boomerang performance. John Flynn was one of the best in the Fast Catch event and his Fast Catch boomerangs were legendary performers. This boomerang is one of those early Fast Catch boomerangs, made in 1984 at the height of the golden age of boomerang development. This boomerang is signed, dated and in excellent condition.
