Epic, Unreal, Beatuiful. Thats what describes the waves and spot in this video! Colin Sifferlen catching some waves and freeride in New Caledonia. New Caleonia is a French Island located in the clear waters of the South Pacific.
Today saw the freestyle and wave sailors hit the water as the action continued in Sylt for the Third day. The morning saw relatively flat water and cross shore winds, which transformed Sylt into a freestyle arena as the double elimination began. After three hours of freestyle, the fleet has been narrowed down to the top eight men in the world. At this point the decision was made to change disciplines as the waves continued to grow in size enabling the completion of the women’s wave single elimination and the start of the men’s double elimination. The real news of today though belongs to Iballa Ruano Moreno (Starboard / Severne), who secured the 2012 PWA Wave World Championship title and also won the women’s single elimination.
The mens double elimination was called for the day due to light winds. Check back tomorrow as the action continues.
Mattia Pedrani released this wave clip from Masirah Island yesterday. Here’s what he had to say.
The main reason I went down to Masirah Island was to find some proper wave conditions, since I can pretty much freestyle whenever I want at Lake Garda.
Murphy’s law, though, worked its magic on me once again, and bottomline I only managed to score a couple sessions with “proper” wave conditions, while the remaining 10 days was just 10-15 knots, really offshore and 1-1.5m waves.
Since I wanted to go as hard as I could, I ended up having wayyyy more goyters and takas than actual hits on proper waves…but hey, I think the video came out pretty nice, also cause the images fit perfectly on the beat I produced using FLstudio9,called
“S.O.W.”, available for downloading on my soundcloud. Turn it uppp..
Give it a look and tell me what you think!
Enjoy. Mattia Pedrani
