“Well, the title should have been “Going south” , but you don’t choose the name of your sponsor,” said Jean-Mat about this clip where he actual heads South to score at Andalucia and Fuerteventura. Jean-Mat just switched sponsors to North and Fanatic.
Two weeks ago Ben Newson went on a solo mission in Australia to find some good conditions. Ben tried again to set up his camera on the beach and capture a bit of footage to cut together and make a story of the day. He set the focus roughly where he thought he would be sailing and press record. The camera is supposed to record for 30 min intervals but seems to stop around the ten minute mark give or take a bit. This meant a lot of running up and down the beach to reset the button.
Enjoy the video.
A couple of weeks ago Alex Mussolini and Thomas Traversa went to Portugal to enjoy some great conditions and hang out with some talents as well!

The inaugural PWA Cold Hawaii World Cup was held in 2010. Every year thus far the competition has been blessed with a mixture of monstrous swells and port tack howling winds, to starboard tack float and ride – which has tested the top sailors in the world to their limits – whilst providing jaw dropping action aplenty.
Philip Köster (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) reigned victorious in the first two competitions, but he was denied a famous hat-trick of Cold Hawaii victories by a rampaging Thomas Traversa (Tabou / Gaastra) in 2012. In doing so the Frenchman became the first man in five events to defeat the back-to-back world champion, but more importantly, Traversa held his nerve to claim his first ever PWA event victory.
The next amazing installment of the Cold Hawaii World Cup will take place later this year, between the 16th to the 22nd September. To wet your appetite, a brand new teaser has just been released to give you a taste of things to come. Expect to see double forwards galore combined with sick cutbacks and aerial antics off the lip, in what is sure to be another epic event on the Danish shores of Klitmoeller.
Enjoy this teaser that highlights exactly what Cold Hawaii has to offer!
Swedish rider Gustav Haggstrom scored some sick day on Maui, while there for his first ever photo shoot with new sponsor RRD. Here’s what he had to say about Maui, “Maui is not like Sweden. It’s really fun to ride some waves in off shore wind instead of trying to hit the lip here in sweden in sideon/onshore wind.” Check out this clip he put together.
