Team Sponsorship Sends boomerang freightsm solutions Out and Back Again
Corporation for International Business has been a proud sponsor of the United States Boomerang Association (USBA) and it's world class boomerang team since January 2004. The emerging sport has enthusiasts all over the world. From countries as far away as Japan, Brazil and Australia, to name a few.
We stumbled on the professional team when we were launching our boomerang freightsm solutions logo in December 2003.
Since then, boomerang freightsm solutions has sponsored the USBA and its team through two World Cup Championships, Japan in 2006 and France in 2004; as well as, several National Championship and regional tournaments.
There's nothing quite like the awe and wonder associated with the return flight of a boomerang. It's no surprise the sport attracts athletes from many walks of life and corners of the world. The new photos in our gallery below capture the spirit of the sport and our ongoing support.

The modern sport of boomerangs as we know it today began in the 1960s. Today, there are 25 countries with national boomerang organizations and a World Cup is held every two years. There are Individual tournaments (with Novice, Intermediate and Advanced divisions), Team Tournaments and informal games.
The USA Boomerang Team, selected by the United States Boomerang Association (USBA), has represented the United States in fifteen World Boomerang Championships; starting Down Under in 1981 with the first Australia vs. USA Boomerang Championship, and most recently in Asahikawa, Japan in 2006. A US Team has won 10 out of 15 Championships. Seattle, WA will be host to the 2008 World Boomerang Championships August 17th -28th. For more information go to www.usba.org.
