Why Woblong® Is Winning Over Frisbee Fans and Backyard Gamers Alike
Some toys earn their place in your weekend plans without trying too hard. Woblong® is one of them. With its signature double wing shape and satisfying flight, this flyer doesn’t just spin through the air. It glides. Smoothly. Easily. Woblong® is easier to throw than a Frisbee. It has more airlift and an incredible glide that makes it fun for casual players and impressive enough for die-hard disc throwers.
Invented in the early 90s by Seattle-based creator Miro Bouchakian, Woblong® was born from a moment of accidental inspiration involving a rice cooker box sailing across the room. That spark led to a flyer that blends aerodynamics, playfulness, and just the right amount of unpredictability. Today, it’s run by Miro and his wife Chelsea, who have brought new energy and design to the product while keeping its original charm.
Miro describes the feeling of using Woblong® like this:
“First off, Woblong creates a connection between the players playing catch. Woblong floats, glides, flutters, and gives that colorful visual mosaic in the air. It's a whole new catching challenge too—you need to focus on it, making it a whole new catching mastery and delight. Sort of like snowboarding being different and new from snow skiing. There is a satisfaction that goes with throwing and catching it, especially because it is not round.”
That uniqueness has caught the attention of players across generations. As 14-time Frisbee champion Crazy John Brooks said back in the 90s,
“The Totally Coolest game of catch I’ve ever had.”
It’s the kind of toy that bridges the gap between laid-back backyard fun and competitive disc sports. The double wing helps beginners throw straighter while giving more advanced players extra room for creative tricks and long-distance glides. If you’re someone who loves Frisbee or dabbles in disc golf, this flyer will feel familiar but with its own personality.
Woblong® is now available in over 100 retail stores across the country, in addition to Amazon, woblong.com, and our own shop. You’ll spot it by the bright color combos and unique shape that stands out in motion and on the shelf.
There’s no app. No charging cable. Just a solid flyer that does exactly what it was designed to do. It brings people together in a way that’s playful and just a little unexpected. Give it a toss and see where it takes you.
