I want to share my adventures with you with some small clips - here no. #1 Yesterday night I arrived in Malaga/Spain for the upcoming GunSails Photoshooting 2016. Had some troubles with the rental car station and with my hotel. But at the end I made it to windy Tarifa. In the afternoon I scored a nice session with 4.4 in Punta Paloma together with my friend Maria Andres from Spain. The forecast looks great for the next days, so we will keep our way to the best spots around Tarifa. Looking forward :-) Powered by: Gun Sails, Starboard, Maui Ultra Fins, Prolimit, Björn Borg, Oakley Hamburg filmed with iPhone 6, Panasonic GH4

The sailors patience may have been tested in the opening four days, but their patience was more than rewarded today as Cold Hawaii maintained it’s 100% record in epic fashion. Not only was the single elimination completed, but also the double as Klitmøller reinstated its reputation as Cold Hawaii with wall-to-wall sunshine, frothy North Sea nuggets and howling winds. By the end of an enthralling day it was Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins), who fought his way to the top of the podium as he remained unbeaten after defeating Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) in the single elimination — followed by Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / North / MFC) in the double, which takes the two-time world champion to the top of the overall rankings, with his second victory of the year. However, there was several fascinating battles throughout the day with big upsets and epic comebacks, which really made the today one to remember.

After a slow start in the morning the waves quickly improved once the wind swung slightly to the west and for a while the conditions were excellent with head high waves and cross to cross-off winds. Unfortunately though the conditions didn’t last and despite everyones best efforts it was only possible to complete two heats in the main draw. The most important thing is that we are up and running - and it looks as if there is wind most of the day tomorrow. Here are today's action - enjoy!

What is Klitmøller and Cold Hawaii all about? How did it come about - and who are they? It’s hard to explain and there are certainly many angles to that story, but that shouldn’t keep us from trying. That’s exactly what we’ve done. Here it is - you can’t argue with a pointing pipe. Enjoy.

SUP Professional Casper Steinfath talks about his deep love for his home. As expected, day three of the KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup proved to be another lay day in Denmark, with light offshore winds and small waves on the event site keeping the competitors on hold as the waiting game continues. But just 30 kilometers down the coast in Agger, sizeable waves hit the Danish Coastline. The perfect playground for SUP Pro Casper Steinfath, a Klitmøller local and Belgian PWA sailor Dieter van der Eyken to share some waves. Tomorrow the latest weather forcast predicts strong sideshore winds for the PWA competitors. So for sure… more waves to share in Cold Hawaii!

Yes, its for free! The new Panasonic GH4 firmware 2.3 with V-Log L ! Thanks Tomas Villegas for the tutorial, how to get the V-Log L for free via the Panasonic App. Check it out on his channel https://www.youtube.com/user/TEVillegas Here a small test with the new V-Log L custom settings on my GH4. Used the normal 14-140mm lense with F3.5, ISO 800, 1/50 in 4k quality 25fps. Sorry for not the best quality, was a bit dark in my room ;)

The ultimate World Cup Slalom sail is radical, incredibly fast and uncompromisingly designed to win. The integration of the newly developed NO.COMPROMISE.DESIGN remarkably improves planing and acceleration after start and jibes, but without becoming physical to sail! That allows you to reserve energy over the entire racecourse and to keep a clear head for tactics. Combined with the unrivaled soft camber rotation, the new WARP F2016 therefore is not just the first choice for World Cup riders but for aspiring freeriders alike.

After a quiet first day the attention now turns towards tomorrow, which holds plenty of promise with the forecast predicting wind from first light tomorrow - with this in mind the skippers’ meeting has been called for 7:30am with the first possible start for the trials at 8am. The latest forecast model shows the wind coming through from the SSW for a time, which should quickly generate a wave and waves of almost 2 metres are being predicted for tomorrow, so we are hopeful of an exciting day of action.

The KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup 2015 media team is once again looking forward to working with the media in Klitmøller. We hope you’ll enjoy this years event. The German prodigy, Philip Köster, was crowned the World Champion in Cold Hawaii two times (2011 and 2012). With two titles to his name (2012 and 2014), Frenchman Thomas Traversa is the only man who has managed to conquer the North Sea more than once. Things haven’t gone quite his way so far this season. Nevertheless, Traversa will be a huge threat again and could quite possibly derail the title challenge of either Victor Fernandez - who currently leads the 2015 PWA Wave World Tour - or Philip Köster, who sits just behind Fernandez in second place. That said, so far this season the level has been incredibly high. In reality, almost anyone can beat anyone in any given heat, so it really does promise to be another intriguing battle. One thing is for sure, though: In the end, the best man will win the title in Cold Hawaii.

Robby Swift K-89 was in excellent form as he rotated through excellent double forwards, backies and push forwards, whilst impressing on the wave with powerful going turns to earn himself 6th place (after defeating the likes of Strillich, Traversa and local hero Bruch). Leon Jamaer G-208 and Jules Denel FRA-41 both sailed some good heats but were not lucky to finish better than 17th. Antoine Martin F-193 result (25th) also does not reflect the standard of his sailing. He impressed with his stylish moves and the craziest jump of the event: a triple push loop attempt! In the Siam Park Tow-In Night Exhibition Titune stroke back and his wild jumps earned him the 3rd place on the podium! Here are the highlights of the action from the JP team with Robby, Leon, Jules, Antoine and Morgan Noireaux HI-101.
