For this image of Peter Devries doing a frontside air, we stitched together eight images to create a sequence look. It was one of my entries in the RedBull Illume contest. Photo: Jeremy Koreski
Airs are really hard to do on a surfboard. Well, landing them, at least. There are so many variables to consider in the attempt, all of which are constantly changing. That’s why the progression is so awesome: it’s really, really difficult, and more and more people are nailing bigger and bigger aerials. Surfing is no longer just about the wave. The canvas has increased in size to include that airspace above it. And we love it.
