This lap joint boomerang was made in 1989 out of Padauk (Amaranth) and Maple boards. This boomerang is smaller than most of Volker's lap joints and the lap includes 3 layers with Maple sandwiched between two layers of Padauk. This boomerang is signed and dated 1989. I did not test throw it, but it probably has a flight range of 25-30 metres. It is in excellent condition. Volker considered this one to be one of his best because he priced it at 140 Euros in his web catalog.
Volker Behrens was a well known commercial manufacturer of sporting and competition boomerang products. Volker was also a competitor and a member of the German International Boomerang Team. Volker was a pioneer in the development of long distance boomerangs and he demonstrated throws of 150 metres in the 1980s with his popular Challenger III Paxolin Hook. Volker made the last of his boomerang products in 2011 and he died in June, 2012. His boomerangs have become great collectibles because they are considered to be comparable to boomerangs made by Herb Smith. |
