Is The Air Reverse Dead?

To those outside the surf world, the "air reverse" (ie. a 360) is pretty much the coolest thing ever to come along. But inside the hard-core world of top-level surfing, there's actually a huge debate going on about the "legit-ness" of this move and when and how often you should be throwing them. Check out the above short film for some of the top pros' opinions on the matter. It's quite interesting.

Air-reverses ain't freshly-squeezed juice no more. They're old milk, sour and colourless. Now, straight-up, let's be clear — it is still possible to do an explosive, exciting air-reverse that'll scoop airplay in a film or magazine but there ain't a whole lot of people doing 'em (John John Florence and Dane Reynolds are two that certainly are).

Carlton Dry and Stab Magazine proudly presents Fly Me To The Moon, a new documentary series about aerial surfing, featuring the likes of Gabriel Medina, John John Florence, Jordy Smith, Chippa Wilson and many more of the world's surfing elite.
