CLYW Presents: Puffin ft. Palli Gudmundsson
The pride of Iceland, Palli Gudmundsson shows off the tricks that have made him one of the most popular yoyo players in Europe. It’s rare that we get a video from Palli, but always worth the wait.
Yoyo used is the CLYW Puffin.
Andrew Bergen – Joyride
Check out some footage from Andrew Bergen, shot at the 2017 World YoYo Contest in Iceland. Players always spend a fair bit of time just milling around outside of whatever venue a contest is in, so Recess took the opportunity to film Bergy just hanging out and throwing tricks because let’s face it…most players are at their best when they are just knocking off tricks for fun. Bergy made a hell of a showing on stage at this year’s contest, but it’s always great to see him just kicking back and working out ideas.
Yoyo used is the Recess Joyride.
First Look – CLYW Puffin
The third iteration of the CLYW Puffin, signature model for Icelandic champ Palli Gudmundsson, will be available at YoYoExpert on November 9th! There was initially a small release at the 2017 World YoYo Contest in Iceland, but this is the first full production release of this new design.
From CLYW:
OFFICIAL RETAIL RELEASE DATE:
NORTH AMERICA – THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 / 10 PM EDT / 7 PM PDT
JAPAN – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 11 AM JST
EUROPE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 4 AM CESTThe Puffin is the newest signature model for Icelandic champ Palli Gudmundsson!
The evolution of the Puffin has matched Palli’s growth as a player. Always a wide return top to help Palli land his most difficult and acrobatic tricks, the newest version of the Puffin is the result of several years of conversations and refinement as Palli honed in on exactly what he needs on stage. The result is one of our most daring monometal designs, with a ton of rim weight pushed to the edge by an undercut that was intensely difficult to pull off.
The result is a truly unique return top that speaks to Palli’s skill, daring, and innovation as a player while still delivering a degree of familiarity that lets you know you’re throwing something from CLYW. We’re very proud of this design, and can’t wait to see what you do with it!
The new Puffin hits YoYoExpert on November 9th at 10pm EDT in all colors. Check out full specs and more photos below!
