First Look – CLYW BOY

December 16, 2019 By Steve Brown

CLYW has announced their first signature model for Ayumu Harada, the BOY. An update to the classic CLYW Arctic Circle family, the first release of the BOY comes in Copper Pot, Dark Green, Harrison Hurricane, Clareview Station and Red w/Silver Splash…all long-time favorite CLYW colorways. From their site:

We’re very excited to release the BOY, the first signature return top for Ayumu Harada. Designed to be the next evolution of Arctic Circle family, the BOY is the ultimate refinement of those ideals. Zach Gormley’s original vision was something wide, powerful, and floaty that could handle anything he could create…and Ayumu’s dream was to take it just a bit further.

Working with Ayumu, we looked at every single line, angle, and transition and made sometimes the tiniest adjustments to bring out the absolute maximum potential of this shape and profile. Weight adjustments were made to keep the ultra-light and floaty feel of the AC series while finding just a bit more power and stability to get through modern tricks. No detail was too small to consider, and we revisited every single aspect of the AC and AC2, questioned our own motivations, and make sure that every decision was deliberate and furthered the goal of bringing this idea to it’s full potential.

Sometimes you need to look back in order to move forward. This return top is an amazing midpoint between throwback and next steps, and we can’t wait bring you on this journey with us.

The BOY hits North American retailers Tuesday, December 17th at 9 pm EST, is available in Asia Wednesday, December 18th at 12 pm JST, and in Europe Wednesday, December 18th at 4 am CEST. Retail price is $85-$95.

CLYW BOY Specs:

Diameter – 56 mm
Width – 44.5 mm
Weight – 66.6 grams
Bearing – Centering Bearing
Response – Snow Tires

November 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

First Look – CLYW Arctic Circle: Second Expedition

October 5, 2013 By Steve Brown

Defending National Champion Zach Gormley is hitting the stage today with his brand new signature model from CLYW, the “Arctic Circle: Second Expedition” and YoYoNews has your first look and full specs! We spoke briefly to CLYW owner and designer Chris Mikulin about what has changed for this new model.

“For Zach’s new signature model, we started with the Arctic Circle and added inner hub design elements from the Avalance and Bear Vs Man 2, both of which have been getting a lot of play time from Zach.” said Chris Mikulin. “We made this version bigger and wider than the Arctic Circle, but wanted to retain the original’s speed. We kept the weight low to keep the return top fast, but removed the double rings and optimized the rim weight for stability, so that it requires low energy to get up to full RPMs. We also lowered the wall in the gap to make it perfect for horizontal play. The new Arctic Circle is a perfect blend of spin time and stability for competition and light, fast play for fun.”

CLYW Arctic Circle: Second Expedition Specs:

Diameter: 55.6 mm / 2.189 in
Width: 45.3 mm / 1.783 in
Gap: 4.16 mm / 0.164 in
Weight: 65.4 gm
Response: Snow Tires
