Which type of waves is important to have for a surfer who wants to do aerial maneuvers

Aerial maneuvers in surfing demand taking the surfboard into the air. The best type of waves for such maneuvers are:

- the section of a wave coming towards you should be smaller than the section you are on

- you should try to find closeout sections of waves (formations that do not allow a tubular ride)

- the wave should be either wedging or bowling in towards you, it should not be a straight wave.
