LEARNING HOW TO DO AIRS! || THIS IS LIVIN'

YOU ALL ASKED FOR IT I'M TRYING AIRS!!!
In this episode i'm doing my best to land an air haha. I'm not sure why its taken me so long to start trying airs, i think I've been a more little focused on other aspects of my surfing like big waves and getting barrled. Oh well here goes nothing! Thank you for the support!
I hope you guys enjoy the video i had an amazing time making it! Leave a comment and let me know what you think about the video!

    After 40 years of surfing I have never landed an air, not that I have tried either....Power surfing is the era I grew up in. Koa your strengths are your wider stance power turns and barrels! Though it is fun to watch others attempt airs. I'm just too old and brittle these days for such "tom foolery". I suggest yellow for your next flame job. Pura Vida!

As long as you are progressing and doing what you want on your wave, and its not putting people in danger, hell with what they think

    im used to trying airs in like 2 foot surf. my tip is to just compress as low as possible on the bottom turn, if your in small surf kind of pop like your doing an ollie on a skateboard, and when you are in the air keep your knees bent, and don't straighten your legs at the landing, keep them bent for balance.

    Perspective: originally from the UK, but now living in Sweden due to different life-choices. Took up snowboarding as its as close to surfing as I can get. But my passion is surfing. For many years I refused to watch anything surf related because it made me quite depressed. But thanks to you, Nate Jamie and Ben Gravy I can enjoy watching your antics. You all remind me of the stoke of surfing. And I have great respect for you guys who have found a way to do what you love on a daily basis through KZread and sharing your journey. So my tip to you is when trying to make that air and getting a little frustrated, remember the land locked surfers who are impressed (and a bit jealous) that you get to surf all year long. I get a three week trip to Bali and a 5 day trip to the mountains! Thanks for the stoke and enjoy your surfing 😉
