Boomerangs for Teenagers and Adults
Artistic 2007 by Georgi Dimantchev

"Artistic 2007" is an asymmetrical three bladed boomerang made out of 4.2 mm Finnish Birch plywood. It makes a terrific light weight sports boomerang or you can use it as a Trick Catch or for Juggling (buy a pair). This model spirals up higher than most other boomerangs. It has good hover. Works best in light wind conditions. Likes a pinch grip with lots of spin.

Boomerangs for Advanced Adult Throwers
G12 Tri-blader by Volker Behrens
Price: $58 ; Availability: 6 RH

 This tri-blader was made out of 2 mm G12. It is a clean and pragmatic solution for windy and gusty days in Australian Round, Trick Catch or Consecutive Catch. It has a higher, circular flight and it does not get bounced around or carried away by freak winds. It is predictable and an easy catch. Made for advanced throwers who know how to tune a boomerang to fly in trash winds by adding weights. Perforated with holes for enhanced wind resistance. Requires moderate winds and weight tuning experience. The paint is flaking off in spots because paint does not adhere well to G12 material.
Radius = 15 cm ; Weight = 49 gm ; Range = 45+ metres ; Age = 17+ ; Power = 8/10 ; Difficulty = 8/10

More Collectable Pinwheels and Cross Sticks
Space Cross Stick
Price: $33 ; Availability: 1 RH

 This cross stick with beautiful space art was made in the 1990s by an unknown maker. The boards are heavier than in most cross sticks. The art is superb with an outer space scene air brushed on both boards. There are no bolts for this set. You will need to buy a set of bolts, wing nuts and washers for each set from a hardware store. The airfoiling is excellent. I have not thrown this set, but I think that they would be very nice fliers and the range is probably 15 - 20 metres.
Length of boards = 53 cm ; Weight = 124 gm ; Range = 15+ metres ; Age = 13+ ; Power = 6/10 ; Difficulty = 4/10
