Michael Girvin (aka Gel) has been making and throwing
boomerangs since the 1970s. In the 1980s, Gel founded a
subculture within the boomerang community called Team Gel.
Gel sponsored tournaments in California and Washington
state. He promoted boomerang throwing more than perhaps any
other thrower in America through his efforts. His
tournaments were a lot more fun than the sterile USBA rated
comps. Gel also competed internationally on many USA
boomerang teams. Team Gel still thrives and events are held
on the West Coast on a regular basis. This large sport omega boomerang was made in the 1990s
out of Aircraft grade Birch plywood. Nicely crafted and
beautifully painted, this omega is a superb sport boomerang
with a flight range of 40 metres. It likes a little wind and
takes more power than many other sport booms because it is a
larger boomerang. Excellent condition with only a few light
scratches on the underside.
