"It's the pursuit of the first ever backside 540 in surfing by Albee Layer. Follow Albee as he wraps his head and body around trying a brand new air in surfing. He battles a few minor injuries and is delayed by a winter that provides better hair raising big waves than conditions conducive to try this move."

Two full rotations is more than 540. Granted he lands at 540, he does complete the second full rotation. For me that's 720.
In skateboarding it would be called a 540 "revert" (when you slide the last 180 rather than complete the spin)
Good on Albee for getting his head around the move and pulling it off.
What I cannot stand is people punching their boards - is this a new fad - its not the boards fault and shows a total disrespect. If they are that disposable, give them away to people who would appreciate them.
totally agree re the board punching, smacks of spoilt tennis brat syndrome.
Skip to 3:15 and prepare to be disappointed.
