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.
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.

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.
At the end of May begining of June Jason Polakow was in Fiji riding the infamous Cloudbreak. Check out the awesome shots as he scored!
There were some solid 8 to 12 foot sets but because the wind was so strong from the night before there was a little bump on the outside bowl.
The inside reef however was silky smooth and if you got the right one it was sick!
Two Italian friends and El Medano locals, Valter Scotto and Ishmael de Nuzzo, score some awesome sessions in Cabezo.
