They took that positive energy and charged head on into their next design – Trying to create something different, something new, something truly unique that would stand out in todays market. This is the Shipwreck! [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tropic-spins-shipwreck-3.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tropic-spins-shipwreck-3.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tropic-spins-shipwreck-4.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tropic-spins-shipwreck-4.png) The Shipwreck is almost the polar opposite of their first yo-yo, in design and feel, and that is one of the coolest things about it – Tropic Spins didn’t play it safe, they created one big, bad beast of a yo-yo that stands on its own! The Shipwreck was designed to give you maximum stability and control throughout your throw, even at low RPMs. It’s definitely on the heavier side, but by giving the Shipwreck an exaggerated double rim design, the weight of the yo-yo is focused under the rim and out, giving you a super stable yo-yo that maintains a floaty and moderately fast feel. Perfect for long laid back combos.

If you’re looking for a standout yo-yo with outstanding stability and spin time, then look no further! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/4/f/e4feeee9446fa22fc120d7805104f82e4ebae3b3.png) Releasing Feb 11 @ 8PM EST! > **[Tropic Spins](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/tropic-spins)** > > Tropic Spins is a new company that got its start when a few young members of our community on the YoYoExpert Forums had an idea.

I copped the tie dye this time around. I have a solid gold and YoyoExpert edition from a previous run. All the colors look great on these, it was hard to choose.
