How do i get airs? I started to learn today, and was kinda getting it but i need advice.?

Man the only advice anyone can really give for that is: speed, speed and more speed. Speed it the key to learning airs and executing them properly. It also depends where you surf. Mushy waves obviously arent good for airs or speed. Surf smaller, quicker waves, get tons of speed and just launch.

Speed is a must but even more u need to time ur attack right. You need to hit the lip just as it starts to break over. If u hit too soon, u go out the back. If u hit too late, ur rail wont launch & u end up with more of a roller coaster then air. The idea is to hit right at the steepest point, & have ur board pitch slightly forward. Throw ur momentum upward while pulling ur forward foot downward. As u come back to the wave, turn to prevent ur nose from pearling. The more speed & steepness of the wave face, the higher u get.
