Stubby Endurance Triblader [TB516]

This triblader was carved out of an orange ABS triFly by
Eric Darnell. It is one of the first that he made and he
sent it to me to review for inclusion in a newsletter
article. I have seen dozens of these over the years made by
different people, but this one is the best flyer of the lot.
It was such a good flyer that it became part of my personal
throw kit.

Stubby is a Fast Catch triblader boomerang. The wings are
shorter than the Fast Catch models. This makes the boomerang
a little slower and more stable than the typical Fast Catch
boomerang, especially with windy conditions. This is
important because the Endurance event counts the number of
catches that you make in a 5 minute time period. If you use
a standard Fast Catch model, you will get tired after a
minute or two and you will start missing catches for a lower
score. I have done 60+ with this triblader, so I used it
frequently in competition.

This triblader is the best Stubby I have ever tested and
it is in excellent condition and straight out of my personal
throw kit.

Eric Darnell is one of America’s most innovative boomerang
designers and a strong competitor and event organizer. Eric
co-authored a boomerang book with Ben Ruhe in 1985 and he
has been active in the development of advanced boomerang
products for more than 4 decades. Eric also makes beautiful
natural elbow boomerangs out of native Vermont hardwoods.
Eric was a World Record holder in the Maximum Time Aloft
(MTA) event.
