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.

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.

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.

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.

The wave sailors are armed and ready to light up the waves of Tenerife
From the 3rd to the 9th of August the elite of the wave sailing world shall be descending upon the beautiful shores of El Medano, Tenerife. This year will see the event returning for the third year in a row and with the current forecast on offer, it looks as though the week ahead will truly be a spectacle to behold.
Situated on the Southeast coast of Tenerife, El Medano is located only a few kilometers away from the South airport making it a highly accessible, but more importantly, world-class location. El Medano has become synonymous with windsurfers all over the world thanks to its stunning golden sand beaches, reliable trade winds and of course its pumping waves, which the pros will be looking to use to their full effect as they launch themselves into the most radical stunts on the planet, in order to win the adulation of the judges.
With his extra local knowledge and guile – Alex Mussolini (Tabou / Gaastra) – will be looking to go one better than last year, when he finished in second place. The Spaniard out scored Koster on the wave in the double elimination winners’ final in 2012, so if he can find a couple of big jumps to match, Mussolini could well find himself at the top of the podium. Expect to see silky smooth wave rides combined with staggering frontside wave 360s and takas galore as he looks to make a strong start to the season.
As the last man to beat Koster – Thomas Traversa (Tabou / Gaastra) – knows exactly what it takes to beat the reigning world champion. With slightly less emphasis on jumping in Tenerife – than Pozo – the Frenchman will be hoping to use this as an advantage. Expect to see almost unrivaled wave riding and rocket-propelled backloops as Traversa sets his sights ever higher.
