Whether the tail was clear of the foam is the question. It's clear the whole rotation was complete enough on the landing and the whole boat was 'unweighted' the entire rotation. I would probably Airscrew it if all I saw was the choppy u-tube playback I'm getting since benefit of the doubt goes to the player and it's a great feat for this tiny wave.

I would count this Air Screw.

This video caused huge debate and discussion at the ICF training in Rock Island this past year. The boat only needs to be aerial for 270 degrees of the rotation and I think he did just that.

The current ICF definitions also state that airwheels must be clean. This has been amended (removed) for the 2009 Worlds in Thun.
