The final day at the 2013 Gran Canaria Wind and Waves Festival still didn’t give conditions good enough for official PWA competition. In its place a super session was held to get a result for the event and distribute the prize Money. Philip Koster won the mens Super Session and Daida Ruano Moreno won the womens division. You can check out a full report on the Day 6 Super Session here. Enjoy this clip from the Super Session action!
Point-7’s team, know as The Black Team (Waverider Adam Lewis and Martin Ten Hoeve) head to Pozo for the 2013 Wind & Waves Festival. This year the winds were lacking in Pozo, and a single elimination couldn’t be run, so no PWA results cam from the event this year. Still the Black Team was there see what they got up to during the 6 days of waiting for the competition.

There was some talk the other week here on WindsurfPress that Philip Koester had been working on the Wasabi in Pozo. The Wasabi, first done by Boujmaa Guilloul, is a forward loop(Cheeseroll) into a backloop.
Sean O’brien brings us this story from Western Australia earlier this year:
Philip Köster being typical Philip Köster. In January we were invited on a photoshoot in Western Australian with Philip, Scott McKercher and JC. Roads filled with pink salt lakes, dust and kangaroos. Some of the most remote and glorious breaks you will find and 2 of the best wave sailors you’ll ever see on the water. On this particular day in Esperance, Philip was diabolical. Launching some of the biggest backies we’d ever seen and tearing every wave to shreds. At one point Philip asked us to make sure we were filming as he was going to pull that Boujmaa trick everyone was talking about. We were sceptical. First run out and this is what ensues; Wasabi.
Rider Valter Scotto brings us this little clip from Cabezo, Medano.
!7 year old Moritz Mauch is one of 12 sailors who will participate in the trails battling for the 6 remaining spots at the PWA Grna Canaria World Cup. Check out his what Moritz has been up to over the last few weeks in Pozo.
The latest clip from Christoper Friis features a feww clips sailing in the harbour wall in El Medano. “By far some of the best conditions I have had in the Canary Islands ever,” is what Friis had to say about the session.
Check out what Dany Bruch has been up to for the last month in preperation for Pozo and El Medano. Last season he finished 5th overall in the PWA Wave World rankings. This year he has been hard at work both on and off the water, with the help of his personal trainer Nico Gil. There is no doubt Bruch is looking at the top of his game, we’ll see what he pulls off in the coming days as the competition in Pozo begins.
Check out the clip Marcilio Browne just released from Pozo. The action is radical and he will be a serious contender in the Pozo World Cup.
Maui born and raised Casey Rehrer has been windsurfing since he could walk and recently decided to get very serious about his windsurfing career so had to make a decision and that decision was to join THE TEAM at MauiSails along with the rest of his family.
“We have all seen Casey grow up and continue to be impressed with his performance on the water, but now we are very excited and honored to have him on our sails and look forward to a long and bright future together” – Phil McGain.
Casey comes from a windsurfing family background, with both parents windsurfing, Tom and Bev who can be seen at Kanaha most days. Casey who is focusing on his studies as well as having the luxury of family support will be able to sail Hookipa most afternoons. Casey will also be competing at some of the event of the American Windsurfing Tour and of course the treasure of all windsurfing events on Maui, the Makani classic later in the year.
