Aerials are just like you would think: maneuvers with a distinctive aerial component. I also have a Loops and Flip-Aerials category so the maneuvers in this category are differentiated from those two in that these are less inclined toward an end-over-end rotation.
1. Core AerialsThe Core Aerials are the Vulcan, the Shove-It, and the Table-Top. The Standard Vulcan seems to be the most desired because the maneuver is the foundation for learning the Spock and a good launching pad for freestyle windsurfing. The Vulcan variations include the Rail Grab, and from Switch.
The Shove-It is also another 'highly sought after' maneuver and is suprisingly more difficult than it looks. I have seen many windsurfers in the Gorge take years trying to learn this trick. The variations include One-Handed and Rail Grab. A precursor to the Table-Top is the Donky-Kick.
2. Intermediate AerialsTwo Intermediate Aerials were invented by Gorge sailors. The famous Wymerooby Chris Wyman, the inventive Dark Flip by Mitch Gingrich. I guess we canput the Air-Christ in this category as well.
3. Expert AerialsFlip-Aerials are just like you would think: maneuvers with a distinctive aerial component that involves flipping. I also have a Loops category so loops are not in this category.
1. CoreThe core Flip-Aerials are the classic Cheese Roll invented by the italian Cesare Cantagalli and the Ponch invented by the Maui sailor Kevin Ponchetera.
2. CreativeThe creative Flip-Aerials are the T-Bone (A Switch Forward), the Gutter Flip, Dark Flip Rodeo Flip , Clew Screw, and Fruit Loop
