Philip Koster throw a nice stalled double forward during the 2013 Tenerife World Cup.
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.

This video shows how a (relative) skunking turns out on the paradisiacal island of Mauritius. Unfortunately there were only a few days of wind when I was there and when we did have wind the swell was pretty small.
The island is amazing though, so there was plenty to see and do during the down time.The action is shot from one afternoon at One Eye, where I had a tiny taste of how good it can get. Definitely will have to get back to score it on a solid South Swell!

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.
