Trick: Ollie 180

Description: Ollieing up rotating board 180 degrees.
This trick is an Ollie with a 180. Practice a few Ollies while trying to catch as much air as possible and still be in control. After you feel comfortable doing some of these Ollies, you're ready to try this trick.

How to perform this trick: You'll need to cut outside the wake 10 to15 feet. There are two parts to this trick. The first half of this trick is done the same as a regular Ollie (try to get as much height as possible). The second part of this trick is when the board has completely left the | water. Rotate your hips while pulling the handle into your trailing hip and turn the board into switch position. Remember not to spin the 180 too soon, as the board has a fin and spinning too soon will force the board to catch an edge. On your landing, make sure the board is completely around (180 degrees) and use your knees to absorb the impact.
