Bel Air is an air tantrum-style trick: a heelside backflip released from the water off the toeside rail/edge.
Unlike a raley, the pop comes from the fast edge whip and the wall of water it creates. Rock quickly from heel edge to toe edge, rise with the backroll motion, and stay connected to the handle.
Prerequisites: strong edge control, air backroll awareness, and safe whip-trick release timing.
