Backside Aerial - powered up

Xavier Corr performs a backside aerial with a powered up wing

There are two ways to perform backside aerials while wing foiling: powered (both hands on the boom) or flagged (one hand on the leading edge handle).

Here, Xavier Corr demonstrates the backside aerial with a powered up wing. With both hands on the boom, you can use the wing’s lift to execute a high and dynamic aerial. Xavier rotates the board 180 degrees and is able to continue riding the wave down the line immediately after landing.
