Köster takes Tenerife
Philip Köster (NeilPryde / NP) continued his dominance of the PWA by claiming his second victory in as many events for 2012.
Nuclear winds and powerful waves bombarded El Cabezo for the second day in a row as the men's competitors hung onto their 3.7s. In the end Köster defended his single elimination victory to be crowned the overall champion of Tenerife, after a mind blowing jumping display.
The winners' final was absolutely astonishing as both sailors pushed the limit of the sport. Philip Köster's jumping was out of this world and with is first two jumps he landed his trademark double forward and a pushloop forward, which superlatives cannot give justice too.
Philip Köster :
"I'm super stoked with the win, especially since Alex Mussolini was absolutely on fire today. I tried the triple and I really want to do it, hopefully we get the same conditions as last year in Denmark and I can pull it off!"
