Doug DuFresne was one of America's best known boomerang
manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s. Doug manufactured a
line of the highest quality boomerangs produced anywhere in
the world. This include numerous models made out of plywood
and strip lamination of Cherry and/or Ash. Everything was a
great flyer and the manufacturing tolerances were as tight
as you would see on an automotive product. Doug stopped
producing boomerangs in the late 1990s and the price of his
boomerangs increased dramatically. Doug was one of America's
top throwers and a member of the American boomerang team
during the formation of the American organization. Doug was
active in formulating the competition rules for the USBA in
the mid 1980s. This medium size strip laminated omega was one of Doug
DuFresne's more popular sport boomerang products. Made out
of Ash strips and with the central strips dyed bright orange
for high visibility. This particular boomerang was part of
David Patrick's throwing kit for more than 10 years. It is
an excellent flyer with a flight range of about 35 metres.
It works best in light or medium winds. The boomerang is in
very good condition except for some abrasion on both the
lift arm and dingle arm tip and with a little patina on the
lift arm tip. You could easily sand the abrasion down and it
would look like new. Great sports boomerang and a really
good collectable.
