Archaeological excavations at the Gallic site of Urville-Nacqueville, some ten kilometers west of Cherbourg, unearthed a highly original wooden object in 2010. In fact, it was the first object of its kind to be discovered in Celtic Gaul. Preserved from natural decay by constant soil moisture since its burial between 120 and 80 BC, it was uncovered in an enclosure ditch alongside an equally remarkable deposit of whale ribs.

Model 51 cm long, 1.2 cm thickness and a weight of 160 grams, made from solid beech board from the PEFC-certified, sustainably-managed forests of Franche-Comté.

Protected with organic chia seed oil grown in France.

Distance from 30 to 40 meters.

first rule

For a correct use of this object, choose a large grassy or sandy area, clear of trees, building and people. Throw in the middle of this area with twice the area of the boomerang's range (Park or soccer field, football field).

second rule

Do not throw in winds stronger than 5 miles per hour ( 10 km per hour) until you learn how to control your boomerang in light breezes.

third rule

The boomerang does not need any particular care. It can be used even during wet conditions, also this material floats over the surface of the water.
