Caribou Lodge - Mark Mangarin Signature Return Top!

From CLYW: The Akita is the first signature model for Mark Mangarin, and we knew it had to be amazing.

Mark is your favorite player's favorite player. His trick construction is always unique and boundary breaking, and his work with the Scales Collective consistently pushes modern technical yoyoing forward in a way that is inspiring and difficult to keep up with. We knew that a signature return top for him had to be incredible, but with his unique style we had to bridge the gap between comfy Caribou-style and raw performance. So, we did.

The Akita's fat rims feel amazing in the hand, bringing back memories of the Chief and the Avalanche. They taper sharply enough that they increase the play area tremendously, giving you a full 40 mm of catch zone...perfect for those big body moves and tricky horizontal catches.

The bi-metal rings push a ton of weight to the far outer rim of the return top, and combined with the extreme width of the Akita they make nearly anything possible. Mark is constantly pushing the limits of trick construction, and now he has a return top that can handle anything he can think of. Each Akita ships with a Fat Kitty String and a limited edition hard enamel pin.

Ruff Start But Pawfect

My Akita Is soo awesome. Only downfall is that pixel bearing i threw for five minutes and had to change out to a new bearing. I was losing spin and was beginning to get skeptical then the bearing went stupid loud after couple minutes. after changing bearing it plays phenomenal. Feels amazing in the hand thinking about getting the dog pee yellow. yellow sold out in japan first and here the opposite colors sold first. crazy huh!

Amazing

The Akita is simply awesome. It's a wide throw, which might put some people off. But don't be fooled by the specs, this thing doesn't fall victim to the chunky, in-the-way, annoying fatness that some wider throws do. It floats through my tricks effortlessly, and always manages to have plenty of spin left at the end of any combo.

Seriously, if you can find one of these, pull the trigger immediately. Don't think twice. The Akita is my favorite CLYW (I owb Orca, Borealis, Bonfire, and Akita) and possibly my favorite throw period. Definitely in my top 3
