Caribou Lodge just announced the new CLIFF coming soon!
Introducing the 1st run of the Cliff, Petr Kavka’s signature return top.
Stats:
Diameter: 59.5mm
Width: 44.8mm W
Weight: 67.9g
Made in CanadaThe Cliff was designed by both Petr and I at Worlds in Orlando this year. Petr had a vision for what he wanted his signature throw to look like and we pulled it off first try. I’m really proud of what we came up with.
The Cliff is the largest return top we have made to date … but don’t let its size fool you! We strategically placed the rim weight near the undercut, which makes the Cliff play quite feathery for its size.
We’re busy working on packaging these up and will have an early pre sale on our store on Friday, Dec 7th at 10am (MST) store.clyw.ca

Everyone’s favorite trick creator, Drew Tetz, is featured on the Ponoko website today for his amazing flatpack yoyos and kendamas!
When I asked Drew why he likes to make toys, he said that he believes design should be enjoyed. “Toys are disarming because you just want to play with them,” Drew says “and that element of play can lead to a strong bond with the object that you might not see from a more static sculpture.”
It’s great to see Drew being recognized outside of the yoyo community for his extraordinary creativity, and we really can’t wait for his flatpack yoyos and kendamas to become available. See below for a video of Drew’s flatpack kendama in action.
