Steven van Broeckhoven is the European Tow-In Champion, the championship took place in the evening at the 2013 Podersdorf Surf World Cup, which was won by Gollito Estredo.
Now it´s official, Gollito Estredo is the winner of the 2013 PWA Freestyle World Cup in Podersdorf. With no wind today, no contest was run, so the results from the previous days stood. Well done Gollito!
I’m super happy to have won the event again this year! The conditions in Podersdorf are always really tough for me as I´m not used to the cold water. But I have trained a lot during the last months and my efforts paid off one more time. I´m really really happy to start the season with this first victory. Thanx a lot to my sponsors Fanatic, NorthSails and ION! – Gollito Estredo
Steven Van Broeckhoven finished in second and Kiri Thode in third.
Steven van Broeckhoven wins the third qualification round with an Air Funnell into Burner. Also qualifying were Adrien Bosson and Max Matissek.
There was little to no wind on Monday, until the wind picked up around lunch time. Canadian Philip Soltysiak was the first to hit the water. After 2 hours of attempting to start competition the winds did not cooperate, and a postmen was set once again, until the wind dropped off, and there was no opportunity to run the second single elimination, and competitors were dismissed for the evening. In the evening the 3rd and final qualifying round of the European tow-in stared at 8pm. Last years champion Steven Van Broeckhoven (JP / NeilPryde / Different) stole the show again as he landed an incredible air funnel into air burner 540, which earns him the highest score of the qualifying rounds. In second was Max Matissek, followed by Adrien Bosson in third. The final is set to run latter this evening.

The best action from the Double Elimination at the PWA Surf Worldcup Podersdorf 2013. Thanks to Content Seven who has been there capturing all the action. Gollio Estredo won the double elimination, followed by Steven Van Broekhoven in second and Kiri Thode in third.
The fourth day in the PWA Surf World Cup, in Austria has begun. A strong wind kicked in this morning, and the second single elimination began. But let us give you a bit of a run down on what’s happened so far.
Friday featured hot temperatures, and light winds, eventually a light breeze picked up so a few sailors hit the water but it never materialized so no competition was held. The PWA caught up with Max Rowe and Gollito Estredo who had recently been on Maui, check out PWA’s day 1 report here.
Saturday had everyone pumped as the forecast was looking strong, with a plan to run the whole double elimination. The action was intense but the 5x World Champion Gollito Estredo won, followed by Steven Van Broekhoven in second and Kiri Thode in third, no big surprises there! You can check out the PWA’s full press release on Day 2 for more details.
Sunday had light winds, and saw little action, except for the tow-in qualification rounds. Two intense heats were held with the top three from each heat advancing to the Final, which is scheduled for tomorrow. From the first heat, Tonky Frans, Julien Mas, and Bjorn Saragoza advanced respectively. In heat two, Gollito Estredo, Taty Frans, and Dieter van der Eyken will advance. Feel free to check out the PWA report from day 3, with the men behind the Trictionary windsurf bible.

Andre Paskowski’s edit of World Cup Action from Podersdorf 2012. Includes action of the PWA and the EFPT tow in! One of the best seen so far!!
A short interview and action form Podesdorf with top freestyle rider, Taty Frans, who came second at the recent PWA Freestyle event in Austria.
The cream of the crop of the men’s freestyle fleet have been once again ripping at Austria’s famed Neusiedler See for the opening event of the 2012 freestyle world tour. From the 27th April to the 1st May these guys showed their latest moves after their winter training and launched the 2012 freestyle season off to an explosive start.
Neusiedler See is unique as the only inland stop on the PWA tour. It is also truly unpredictable as it can offer anything from freezing 40 knot winds, combined with torrential rain, to weather more associated with the Mediterranean and idyllic breezes. One thing is for sure though, this year we had mediterranean like 30°C and blue bird for the whole weekend. Some south wind enables the riders to battle out for the “King of the Lake”.
Day 2 is done at Surf World Cup Podersdorf, with lots of action and challenging conditions. Check out this teaser clip from Andre Paskowski.
From the 27th of April till the 1st of May the world´s best men freestyle windsurfers will fight for the title at Podersdorf in Austria, the first PWA freestyle event of the 2012.
