Chris. Can you make a short video showing us your favourite return tops? I'm not talking models, I'm talking individual ones that you own that are special to you, whether it be because they play nicely, have sentimental value, or are just pretty. Thanks :)
This is a great idea! Follow us on snapchat and we'll make this happen: clywcanada
This colorway means a lot to me. I was flying back home from my very first worlds in 2007 and was writing down colorways that I wanted to test on the back of a customs form. I had with me the book 28 Stories of AIDS in Africa as my ex at the time was in Africa for 6 weeks so I heard this was a great book and picked it up. Anyways, the cover had blue sky and white clouds with red text. I loved the combo so I knew this was what I wanted to try and wanted to do something with the proceeds and give back to a cause. So when I got home I ordered a run of 45 Peaks in this color. Then a few days later my ex and I broke up. Was a weird emotional time. But ya I wanted to do something special and give back and that color was so amazing. I even emailed the author to ask her if we could use the name and she helped me pick a charity. -Chris
why would i ever pay full price for a brand new clyw when i can get a bgrade that plays just as well?
You *can* get a b-grade that plays just as well. But more often you can also get a b-grade that doesn't. And if we run 250 return tops, there are usually no more than a dozen b-grades. So if you thought it was hard to get the CLYW model you want in the color you want when you were going after it at full price, good luck chasing down that one b-grade when I randomly drop them in the store with no notice, ha ha. -Steve
If i like the bonfire, but not the puffin 2 as much, what clyw would you recommend I get next? Thanks!
Probably the Chief or Orca. - Chris
Is the puffin 2 full sized?
I would consider it mid-sized. - Chris
Do you guys make slight variations between runs? Clyw.ca currently says has the chief's stats listed as D: 56.5, W: 43.6, and 66.5g. I took a screenshot of the stats listed on YYE of the chief I bought last year and the stats are listed as W: 44.47, 66.0g and the same 56.5 diameter. Just curious
Probably due to measurement error. But could also be a small variance in machining. 0.003" can slightly change the weight. Just depends who is measuring and what tools they are using. - Chris
are you planning to stop the wm2 production? i hope not!!
hey petr ! I love the advance scout! one of the best clyw out there
He says thanks!
if chris could be any animal in the world, whagt would he be?
Bear! -Chris
1. Chris, do the colored yetis play any differently from the black ones?
2. If so, what is the difference in play? Vibe?
3. Which color plays the best and has the least vibe? I like purple, but have heard that the black ones and colored ones play differently.
1. Yes 2. Black are slightly lighter 3. Colored play the best IMO and are easier to tune -Chris
I recently tried your slackline string and really like it. Any thoughts of doing some batches to match your signature colorways (example - hulk smash, clearview station, ash berry, 28 stories). Any thoughts on selling slackline in 50/100 packs?
It's all handmade for us in small batches, so we can't really offer 100 packs at any price better than just buying 10 packs of 10, unfortunately. I wish we could do it in bulk! It's fantastic! -Steve
Torontonian here, how's the weather in the west? Do you guys get cold yoyo hands? Or have you built up your yeti immunity?
I love the cold! Sadly I shaved my beard off though so I'm not as warm as I used to be outside. But Ya my hands are just used to it. How's the weather this week? -Chris
Since Steve doesn't know the answer to this question (unless he knows know) can Chris answer this? Are there going to be any black yetis in the next run?
Most likely not. - Chris
who owns the bear trap protos?
Not sure who's got those...I think it might be Matthew Wright (YoYoBrothers). -Steve
U gotta bring back the widow maker colorway honestly the best colorway ever
Good suggestion!
Can I email you guys if I want to ask you what would be a good choice in my first clyw?
Of course! thelodge@clyw.ca
God the guy who suggested a 'sho dope' marmot is a genius. 'sho dope' on one side and Jensen's signature on the other. I'd buy 10 of them!
I'm going to hold you to that. Seriously. I'm going to invoice you right now. -Steve
