Backside Air

Backside Jump in Wing Foiling

Here's how to get ready for backside aerials. Practicing backside airs in flat water helps you master the moves you'll later be able to perform as aerials while riding waves backside.

Instead of the lip of a wave, use a small chop to jump in an arc to windward with your board.

Here's another video showing this jump. The clip is mirrored and shows how to jump backside airs in both goofy and regular stances.
