Description

Ever wanted to become a serial aerialist? We're going airborne in this episode, tracing the flight path of aerial surfing (going full Top Gun, here)—from its skatepark origins to today's jaw-dropping surf maneuvers. We unpack what an air actually is, why it didn't take off until the '90s, and how a once-mocked trick became a high-performance art form. Plus some fun names: flying squirrels, stalefish, and madonna.
