As a top 5A competitor in the world, Jacob needs a top performance throw to bring to the stage. In 2019 Jacob used the Laevateinn in competition as he prefers wider sharp yoyos with a powerful spin. This was the starting point for his signature model - C3 combined the shape of the Laevateinn and the extra wide size of the Galaxy diver to create the Windoundary!
The wide angular design makes landing risky tricks and 5A catches a breeze while the multi-step profile makes for a comfortable feeling in the hand. They fine tuned the weight distribution to make it fit for 1A and 5A and installed a 12mm long axle to improve durability for those inevitable 5A drops.
The name Windoundary is a combination of the words “Wind” and "Boundary ," an English version of a Chinese word meaning the edge of the wind. Whether it’s during an online freestyle or cutting through the wind outside, this yo-yo got its name from Jacob’s phenomenal playstyle.
Windboundary has a scientific application. The word is used to describe various classifications of wind/related/weather conditions.
I found this> Description

The Windoundary has the profile of the Remaster Galaxy with over 50mm of width and 56mm of diameter. It has a high degree of control and responsiveness with a snappy feel.
But… their yo-yo, their name…
Looks sweet and that price is even sweeter.
At that price, they could have named it the BuyMeNow.
PS… it sure beats Sharks Honor……lol (another translation oddity).
I was a diver for decades. I never met an honorable shark. Most of them should be considered to have a high potential for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Yeah, names get a little odd when you translate from non-english speaking countries, it’s always been like this though. The first time I heard the name YYJ Speed Maker it made me chuckle a bit and there’s been dozens since then.
Windoundary, regardless of the name, is a verrrry nice yoyo though. And i’m not usually a huge fan of extra wide throws.
I went to bed right after reading this post last night. For some reason, this is what came to mind this morning: we need our own cows… wi nd oun dairy.
If you spell it weird or use made up words isn’t it easier to trademark/register or whatever the correct term is? I suppose that could be seen as one benefit to the odd naming.
On a different note I got one of these in the mail today. I’ve been so pleased with c3yoyo thus far and this one is no different.
