I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'queen she's finished with aerial thrill-seekers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'heavens wave to the' is the wordplay.
'heavens' becomes 'sky' (sky is a kind of heavens).
'wave' becomes 'surf' (surf is a kind of wave).
'to the' becomes 'ers' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sky'+'surf'+'ers'='SKYSURFERS'
