Every CWN begins with a question:

What happens when we stop deciding everything ourselves—and let flippers lead the way?🦋

This time, the answer came from Brian and every flipper who voted Riptide into first place.💪

Brian poured his love for modding, design, and flow art into the original concept. We took that idea into the workshop, tested it, reworked it, and found ways to leave even more room for players to make it their own.❤️🔧

Because Riptide was never meant to end with the designer—or with us.🔥

Designed by a flipper.
Chosen by flippers.
Brought to life by Nabalis.

Where it goes next is up to you.

Riptide is coming soon. 🌊

CWN2026 top 10 voting is open!

Twisted chamfer is a feature of the Harvest that allows a dynamic shape down the handles.
It's more blocky near the pivots for better lock-in on Chaplins and rollovers. It's more rounded at the base for fans. by @nabalis_official
