The Real 180!

The 180, what can I say, sweet in a hole has plenty of pop to get huge aerial loops and still slicy enough to throw down some sweet ends and all the hard tricks like a phonix monkey or a tricky woo.

On a wave has a nice flat fast hull to bounce high off the green to throw every wave move imaginable helix, air screws and huge aerial blunts.

It has nice forgiving rails so it’s easy to move it round on a wave and you’re not going to get slammed in a hole.

Volume distribution is good, plenty around the knees and behind the cockpit and still enough at the tips to keep it level but still slicy.

The out fitting has improved a lot, new thigh braces that are fully adjustable and are so comfortable nothing can compare. A new seat is on its way much like the Huka seat to reduce weight and to keep the hull as hard as rock. The back band has been improved to give more support to your back and a few new features have been added to make things a little easier.

And the most important thing is this boat looks super cool no other boat looks anything like it! Some of the boats Andi is throwing out are amazing, super cool colours and designs.

This boat is wicked and is top of the line when it comes to play boating, i stand by this boat and what ive said in this review fully.

Thank you.
