ok, if onefin is gonna try busting airs I'm gonna try to damnit. seriously, I don't really have clue how though I have actually spontaneously attempted on 3 occasions total but I'm taking off um, on a day this week from work and from the freaking wave. instead of floating that section I'm launching!

i'm nowhere near even attempting them. but, onefin told me what bal told him, and it sort of made sense to me. i'm not going to try it, but for those of you who can: bal said something to the effect of set-up like you're going to hit the lip, but imagine the lip is several feet above where it actually is. onefin, please correct if i misheard. just thought that might help with the inspiration.

nope, your right.  Bal said to spot your ramp and open up your stance than do the air as if it was a floater above the lip.

Similar advice to what my friend gave me for skateboarding. Don't stop at the lip.

On the fish/airs topic, most of the (few) airs I've landed have been on a 5'9" ModFish. Could I be landing more on a standard shortboard? Probably not.

I've been pretty close to landing a couple frontside this summer, and I was curious if it's better to bottom turn into an air or stay higher on the wave and try and pop out.

its easier if you do a smaller bottom turn more mid face of the wave
