In this paper we discuss planar quadrilateral (PQ) nets as discrete models for convex affine surfaces. As a main result, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a PQ net to admit a Lelieuvre co-normal vector field. Particular attention is given to the class of surfaces with discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete affine minimal surfaces, and the subclass of surfaces with co-planar discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete improper affine spheres.
