Seagull Wooden Boomerangs - Great Recreational Boomerang

This thing is a LOT of fun, and yes, it DOES work if you read the instructions carefully. However, be aware that you need a good amount of space to play with it (it probably won't work in your back yard).1. RANGE: This Amazon page says "30+ yard round flight" but the manufacturer (Colorado Boomerangs) website says it has a 40 yard range, which I believe is more accurate. Let me explain what this means; this boomerang will fly out 40 yards in front of you if thrown correctly, so you should have about 50 yards of empty space in front of you. This is HALF of a full-sized football field. Catch my drift? You need a lot of room to play with this toy. The first time successfully threw it, I was in the middle of a baseball field, and it went out over the fence, over power lines and traffic. Scared the crap out of me, but it did come back, thankfully.2. DOES IT REALLY RETURN? I repeat, if thrown correctly, this WILL come back. I watched several Youtube videos and read the instructions twice before I was able to throw correctly, but now that I've gotten the hang of it, I can throw it right every time.3. WIND: One downside of this boomerang (and I assume most boomerangs) is that it only works in light wind. You can compensate for a small amount of wind by changing the angle and direction of the throw, but anything more than a breeze will make this boomerang land several yards in front of you, instead of near you. This effectively means that you can't use this boomerang on most beaches.4. DURABILITY: This boomerang is made of very light, laminated wood, but it seems pretty sturdy to me, and it's actually kind of flexible. I've never played with it over concrete or asphalt, so I can't attest to its strength when landing on hard surfaces. I doubt that it would break, but it would probably become scuffed and scratched if used over concrete.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. This thing is impressive.

This is a quality boomerang. I'm by no means a professional thrower and am fairly new to the sport, but am happy with it's performance. I will definitely get a Colorado Boomerang as I advance in my skills! My two year old likes to hold it and try to throw. Remember though that this boomerang is not built for younger children, you need to throw this type pretty hard. It returns well and has an easy to follow flying pattern. All in all a good buy and I am a very satisfied customer

First boomerang I bought and this thing is pretty badass lol. It takes awhile to get used to and you have to adjust how you throw it but eventually you get it. Maybe my 20th throw it came close enough to catch. It fly's out pretty far so go to a park b/c you'll need the room. I enjoy it for what I payed I'm probably going to buy another, probablya tri or quad blade boomerang but over all I'm impressed with it. It weighs about a pound is pretty sturdy. I didn't give it a 5 star durability rating b/c I think if it were to hit concrete at a pretty fast speed it would chip or break. Mine has hit the concrete a few times, it only slid or skipped across with little damage but scared the hell outta me each time.

I own several right and left handed boomerangs, but I'm still a newbie to throwing. I'll compare this 'rang to my others.This seagull is fairly easy to throw, it isn't as forgiving as the Aspen or Glacier, but I find it more forgiving than others like the Alpine or Yanaki. This 'rang has a wide curve, and flies pretty far. For a beginner, I'd say get the Glacier or Aspen, then this if you want a different handling 'rang. If you have a young beginner or feel your wrist/forearm isn't up to properly "snapping" the 'rang as you throw it, check out the Bumblebee. The Bumblebee is very lightweight, stable, easy to throw, and won't go far compared to other boomerangs.BOOMERANGS ARE NOT TOYS. Don't give this to a kid and leave them unsupervised, don't throw in front of an audience, and make sure you have oodles of open, empty space. Boomerangs have edges that could cut skin if someone were to get hit by one (boomerangs were hunting tools, after all).

This was a first boomerang for my nephew and we weren’t sure what type to get. This one had great reviews and seemed to be a good option for beginners. It works well, follow the included instructions and watch a few videos on how to position yourself with the wind and you’ll see good results. Flies a lot farther than expected and will return to you with practice. Do not fly near other people or trees/buildings! Have fun!

I bought this 'rang after having a couple already. I had the aussie fever (great return but very light) which I gave to a friend and the hummingbird (decent return but much heavier and larger) which I was pleased with but something is up with this one. I tried contacting the company first to see if they'd consider replacing it or returning it but they told me they'd call back and never did. Since they didn't bother to make good, I'm leaving this review. BOOOOOO! I tried throwing it backwards, left handed. You name it I tried it. I even sanded the paint down because it seemed much heavier than the aussie but about the same size. No good.

Very fun, and I really like the colors. It takes practice to throw just like any boomerang but I can make it return to me without moving a foot.

Great boomerang! Has a real nice return, and super easy to throw, for beginners or experts!
