This weekend I went out and threw boomerangs for 10 hours (and I have the unbeleivable aches and pains to prove it). If you've never thrown a boomerang, I suggest you try it out. I was more entranced with the artistry and craftsmanship of the 'rangs than with the competitive aspect. For many of these people, boomerangs are a hobby and a passion before they're a sport. Kendall Davis had some beautiful boomerangs, one of which, (a purpleheart wood lap-joint, if that means anything to you) I was fortunate enought to take home. Don Monroe lent me a 'rang (not one of his designs, though) for the 'maximum time aloft' portion of the tournament. I've never thrown a boomerang before, so I was quite pleased to score a few points in all but one of the categories. If you've never thrown a boomerang, I highly recommend it.
