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 x Fist Salud – Ayumu Harada

July 6, 2017 By Steve Brown

Ayumu Harada is one of the strongest contenders in Japan right now, and the past couple of years have seen him steadily climb the ranks in Japanese contests, some of the toughest in the world. A win at this year’s East Japan B-Block contest led to a 6th Place finish in the 1A Division at Japan Nationals, and leaves him at the top of the contender list for the 2017 World YoYo Contest. This new video showcases the talent and hard work that got him here, and give us a taste of what we’ll see from him at Worlds 2017.

CLYW in Prague

April 14, 2016 By Steve Brown

I’m so jealous of everyone who got to attend the 2016 European YoYo Championship this year…it was another fantastic event, run by great people, filled with amazing players. But luckily there have been a slew of great EYYC recap videos (like this one from Jeffrey Pang) and now my homies at CLYW have dropped this fantastic bit of video showing off some amazing tricks and good times. I really need to get out to more contests.

The CLYW team is scattered across eight countries and three continents, so when they get together it’s filled with laughter, camaraderie, great tricks, and good times.

A huge chunk of the team converged on Prague for the 2016 European YoYo Championship. They had a great time. Featuring Petr Kavka, Tessa Piccillo, Palli Gudmundsson, Alec Campbell, Riccardo Fraolini, Ayumu Harada and Nuu Gatowsky. Special guest appearances by Eiji Okuyama, Jake Mulvey and David Stejskal.

(And here’s a Vimeo version…a few people reported problems viewing the YouTube version on mobile.)
