Main use: playboat
Pyranha's take:
Is our thoroughbred Freestyle / Park and Play boat. It comes in 225,230 and 235 models. If you are a serious Freestyler you are going to get the feeling from the water like never before. Go PARK AND PLAY your day away!

| pros: | (Me: 5'8"[173cm], 155 lbs[70 kg]) Super-slicey, very responsive, light, incredibly easy to throw around. |
| cons: | (Me: 5'8"[173cm], 155 lbs[70 kg]) Extremely edgy, not very retentive in holes, hard to control in pushy/big/squirelly water, hard on the feet. Also harder to roll than most other kayaks. |

| pros: | This boat rocks at Hurley. You can get vert from a stern squirt at the end of the flow!! The foot room is ok if there is no padding. THE OUTFITTING RULES!!!!!!!! |
| cons: | Being 15 and not very heavy i find this boat quite hard to get vertical on flat. I was not greatly impressed with it's handling in surf but after a while it go there |
| other: | Check out http://www.geocities.com/pangbournepranksters for a more detailed review from me on my site of this boat and others!!! |

| pros: | This boat is wicked at surfing, also it is really good for first timers at playboating.(Like the nene) It is also good to practise rolls. |
| cons: | The foot room is quite uncomfortable, except if you get one of the new LL foot rests. Hard to do good tricks when playboating. |
| other: | This is the first boat i got and i think if your serious about kayaking it is a wicked all rounder, begginer to expert. |

| pros: | I own the 225 version and I like it. It's so easy to roll and I'm only a light 15 year old. I haven't been on white water yet but flat water skills are fairly easy. |
| cons: | Because I'm so light tricks aren't the easiest things to master, I can't even bury the nose on most playboats but (but that might have something to do with my paddles). It will also bite you on bum unexpectedly sometimes but that may be one of her charms. |
| other: | I live in Nottingham so the slalom course at Holme Pierrepoint is near, I reckon in the right hands this kayak will be a dream. Despite it's age, I think it's better than most new boats out there. |
