Congragulations to Philip Koster winning the mens division in the 2013 PWA Tenerife World Cup and Daida Moreno on the women’s side.
Philip Koster faced up against Vistor Fernandez in the final for an epic battle. Both riders pulled double forwards, but Koster’s style and a nice stall gave him the edge. Koster just edged Fernandez on the waves as well, managing a 360, taka and nice lip smack on one wave to put him ahead.
Top Four Men
Women’s Side
It was another intense battle between the two sisters, Iballa and Daida Moreno. Iballa came back to take the first final with some big back loops and nice hits. Daida was yet to loose in the competition so Iballa would have to beat her sister one more time. However int he super final Daida showed a little more in both waves and jumps, winning the PWA Tenerife World Cup.
Top 4 Women

An epic day as howling winds and big waves bombard the shores of El Medano
The fourth day of the PWA Tenerife World Cup saw the best conditions of the week, with winds between 35 to 42 knots and big waves bombarded the shores of El Medano. The action which followed for the entirety of the day, was nothing short of epic, as the most radical sailors in the world launched themselves into the biggest gravity defying stunts on the planet. After an enthralling eight hours of competition we are now down to the final five sailors in both the men’s and women’s double eliminations, which will be concluded tomorrow.

The 2013 AWT Quatro Desert Showdown in Punta San Carlos will go down as the most epic Pro/Am wave events in history.
The event saw amazing waves and wind with competitors competing on sail sizes from 4.5 down to 3.5. The long heat lengths and super fair “second chance” bracket system has kept a smile on every riders face. Let’s check out the action.
The AWT would like to dedicate the AWT Baja event to Andre Paskowski who passed away today. He truly lived life to its fullest even through hard times. His love for the sport of windsurfing was portrayed in his incredible windsurf film making. He inspired us and his legend lives on in our hearts. – AWT

The trailer is out and the count down begins for the biggest and fastest speed event of the year. The Luderitz World Record Race this year is going to be tough, competitive and mindblowing. Double the number of riders this year as compared to last year, and records to be smashed!!!.
Conditions go off on Day 3 of the 2013 PWA Tenerife World, with some sick action including a huge stalled double from Philip Koster, and some sick wave 360s from many of the competitors.
Philip Koster and Daida Ruano Moreno come out on top after the single elimination
day 3 at the 2013 PWA Tenerife World Cup saw the much anticipated conclusion of the men’s and women’s single elimination’s. The top PWA riders put on an amazing display as winds hit 40 knots and some of the best waves of the contest so far rolled through. The single elimination wrapped up with Philip Köster (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Daida Ruano Moreno (Starboard / Severne) claim the opening victories of the week. At 2:15pm the men’s double elimination began allowing the majority of the first round to be completed, before both the wind and wave conditions deteriorated.
In heat 14 Philip Koster produced a not worthy jump and move of the day as he he landed an absolutely outrageous stalled double forward, completely ankle dry.

The conclusion of the single elimination is on the horizon
The second day of competition in Tenerife required patience from both the sailors and the judges as marginal conditions teased the competitors until quarter to four. Earlier in the day an attempt was made to complete the resail of women’s heat ten but light winds soon brought an end to the proceedings. Eventually though good, but sometimes tricky, conditions did prevail with winds of 22-30 knots and small to medium sized waves rolling through the bay of El Medano, meaning that wave selection played a key role today.

Everyone has arrived at Punta San Carlos for the 2013 AWT Quatro Desert Showdown and and an awesome event is expected. With a good outlook for swell the event has likely already started.
Day 1 showed promise with some decent sets rolling through but with the forecast only looking better head judge Keith Teboul decided to give everyone a day for warming up to the conditions… and everyone took advantage.
The competition brackets have been drawn up using a brand new “second chance” bracket system, giving competitors a chance to lose in their first heat and still come back in a “second chance” round and make it back into the competition. This format really allows for competitors to take more risks early in the competition, as they can still win their way back into the mix if their risky big moves don’t work out. This is what the AWT is all about…pushing the limits of wavesailing! Here is the Pro bracket (with the same format being used for Women, Amateur, Masters and Youth):
