This early long distance lefty hook was made out of 3,3 mm circuit board material and painted yellow on both surfaces. Peter used this hook in competition in the mid 1980s. At a tournament in Pennsylvania, Peter gave me this hook to use in the Long Distance event. I didn't win LD, but I did fairly well with unfamiliar equipment. This boomerang has a lead weight in the lift arm tip. It is signed and dated 1986. Very nice condition. Flight range of 100+ metres.
Peter Ruhf was a strong competitor during the formation of the American boomerang movement. Peter was on most of the earliest boomerang teams. He is the nephew of Ben Ruhe and the twin brother of Larry Ruhf. Peter was involved in the early development of the long distance event and technology. Al Gerhards used Peter to test left handed Gerhards boomerangs. Peter is famous for setting a world record in Long Distance on the Guinness Book of World Records film clip, throwing against Bob Burwell in Australia. In the early 1980s, Peter developed the best flying American made MTAs. Peter contributed more to the boomerang movement than most and the low number of boomerangs that he made are good collectibles. |
