Definition: This is a relatively modern addition to surfing but has become very functional even in very small surf. An "air to fakie" is when the surfer punts an aerial and then lands backwards (tail first), usually on the wave face. The surfer and board briefly ride backwards until finally spinning a full 180 degrees back around.
Also Known As: Air to Reverse
Examples: Dane was behind in the heat until he busted a fat air to fakie in the dying seconds to win the whole contest.
