I think Brazilian surfer Silvana Lima did a small air maybe a year ago in a contest but this one got more air. Lots of the female pro surfers can do them but apparently not well enough to include them in a contest
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Check out this from 6 years ago
Silvana Lima would be blasting airs all the time if she wasn't injured. I have heard Malia Manuel can do airs as well but the trick is to have the skill and confidence to pull it off in competition (and not get injured in the process). Still that was a great moment for Carissa.
