Admittedly, there wasn’t a whole lot to work with when we did our original “Rio’s best air” post. Luckily, the final day of Rio proved the most fruitful. And unsurprisingly, Josh Kerr owns three of the top contenders. But, John Florence’s backside rote in the final – so timely, so high! See? Too hard to choose. Stab‘s torn. Please tell us, who did the best air on the final day of the Billabong Pro, Rio?

i nominate mick fanning’s completely random stalefish air revo attempt. even if he landed it.. it would have been hideous and the judges wouldnt have known it was a stalefish.

JJ by far, the combo left of Julian’s is worth a mention too. But Parko? C’mon, let’s keep this current.

Peterson Crisanto did the best air of the contest without a doubt. Ya it was in the early rounds but, Bigger wave, heaving section, boosted that shit high and stuck it clean… This is a joke, like the MVP at lowers.. there is no way any of Gabs airs were better than Julian’s massive i dont give a f*** slob.
