This research aimed to verify whether the number of airplanes run by surfers in the 2016 Word Surf League (WSL) men's season and their grades were related to their final classification in the events and season. Were viewed 3475 waves from 49 surfers and selected for analysis 275 waves. Spearman's correlation test, one-way ANOVA, and t-test, with p?0.05, were used for statistical analysis. The air proved to be an effective maneuver in isolated clashes, helped to reach the finals and decide events, but did not prove to be the main determinant of the season's final standings. The average of the marks attributed to the reverse 360 ??aerial was significantly higher than the notes attributed to the reverse aerial, however, the variables the position of the surfer in front or back to wave and whether or not to grab the board edge did not present significant differences.
