Can Koester Be Beaten in 2013? Title Contenders Head to Head
With locations like Chile and South Africa added to the PWA Wave tour, the competition is wide open with a determined group of sailors chasing down Philip Koester. With the PWA Gran Canaria fast approaching, Boardseeker finds out the vital stats for some of the top title contenders…Who can win in 2013? And can Koester be beaten?
We start with former world champion, Victor Fernandez…
Name: Victor Fernandez
Sail No: E42
Age: 29
Height: 184cm
Weight: 83kg
Where have you been training over the winter?
I´ve been in Chile, Maui, Perú and Almerimar. All destinations were quite good.
What special equipment will you have for Pozo?
I´m trying to decide Quad or tri-fin board for Pozo as both work well for me. I probably sail more on the Quads as I feel a bit safer for my wave moves. 76, 82 and 89 will be the main boards for Pozo. I use the 4 batten sail Hero from 3.4 up to 5.3.
What event are you most looking forward to on the tour this year and why?
Chile because it will be the first time we have a PWA event there and we can have different conditions to all the events we usually have on tour with bigger waves and more down the line waveriding.
Victor Fernandez, at home in Almerimar
Victor Fernandez, at home in Almerimar
Victor Fernandez, at home in Almerimar
What is your biggest strength?
My motivation, consistency and passion for the sport.
What can you do that you think will score the highest with the judges this year?
BIg jumps, doubles, tweaked push loops, back loops, good waveriding.
Who is your biggest rival?
Top 32, they are very good sailors. Philip is obviously the favourite rider for the event.
And who else would you like to see on the PWA tour that could make it to the top?
Young guys like Alessio, Leon have good potential in this conditions. It will be great to watch them.

Behind The Scenes: Ross Williams Reports from Costa Brava
Ross Williams joins Boardseeker to give a unique look behind the scenes of the PWA in Costa Brava….

Thursday 13th:
“The wind changed pretty quickly yesterday, so everyone was left running around for the smaller gear. I didn’t get a good start to the my semi final but the sea state was pretty choppy so finally it was possible to over take at the gybe marks. I felt my speed was competitive and I was gaining a place at each gybe mark to secure my spot in the final.
I will head into the final pretty confident as I have sailed in a range of conditions in my heats: 9.5m, 8.6m, and 7.9m and both big and medium boards; all combo’s seem to be delivering the goods. I will focus on getting a good clean start and bring it on to the rest of the guys.
So far, I think that Antoine F192 has been the most consistent and has the all round package in any winds. Also Alberto ITA 4 has been one of the fastest, Antoine F99 also in the lighter wind has been impressive. I think Maciek Rutkowski has shown that he is coming of age finishing 7th in the first race and now he is in the losers final, if he can continue to put in results like this he should fine himself in the top 10 at the end of the event.
I didn’t touch my equipment settings, as I know I am going fast enough to compete.
Hopefully we will finish this elimination today and also complete another, it’s hard to tell what the sea breeze will do but I think for sure there will be more ups and downs to talk about.”

Boardseeker catches up with Matteo Iachino Ita-140, who placed second in the first round of racing in Costa Brava. At just 23 he is much younger than most of the top racers, though he hasn’t yet shown the consistency to win an event, surely he is a name to watch both now and in the future?
My best result in a single race has been a 3rd place in Korea this year. My best result out of a complete event has been a 11th in Sylt last year.
This is my 4th year on PWA, but it’s just the 2nd year that I’m doing all the events.
My weight is 91kg.
I used F2 SX 2013 82 and 69 in Korea and Challenger Sails Aero+ 9.4, 8.7, 7.9 in Korea and F2 SX 2013 82 and Challenger Aero + 9.4 here in Costa Brava.
This year I have more speed, and more of everything compared to last year due to the hard training I did this winter. My only problem is to be consistent in the results without doing a super good one and then a bad one… But little by little I will do it.. That’s what I hope.
The conditions here are really hard, super light wind a bit gusty and onshore. If you make a mistake and you are out. I did really good yesterday but today I got the worst start ever and I went out.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Clarification of the racing rules for 2013, regarding lower wind limits, from the PWA:
The wind needs to be a minimum of 7 knots. But now instead of the race being cancelled when 1 sailor stops planing, there must be at least 6 sailors not planing, from the moment the leader stops planing and within a ten second period. So, sailors need to pump more if needs be rather than just complaining about the wind – we’re trying to stop people who aren’t qualifying from deliberately stopping planing to try and get the heat cancelled!
The race director doesn’t have as much control of deeming suitable conditions anymore, if it’s not dropping below 7 knots then the sailors should be racing.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Ross Williams on the first two days of racing:

The conditions for the first 2 days have been pretty light, most of the fleet were sailing on their biggest gear. I think the conditions were on the edge for good racing and maybe some heats could of been abandoned, but generally the race crew did a great job. I was in heat 7 in the first race and the wind died before I got to sail my heat on the first day. So I was one of the first to go onto the race course on the second day. I won my first heat on 9.5m and big board and 46cm fin, pretty sure everyone was using their big stuff. Then for my quarter final I took my 8.6m and big board, but unfortunately i sailed the wrong course like an idiot. I had done the hard work, I got a clean start and was leading the race, but for some reason I decided to gybe the wrong second bouy!!!! At least I know now I have good enough speed, but i just need to find my brain.
Personally I think the conditions were fine to race. I think some of the bigger guys need to trim down a bit, and go sailing more in 7 knots, take the biggest fins and sails possible. When it’s windy you don’t see the smaller sailors getting any favours, so it shouldn’t be that these beasts of 105 to 115 kgs get let off in the lighter winds, when they already have a size advantage when the wind picks up. Antoine always seems to be tuned for every wind strength, so the other should as follow his example.

BS: You didn’t compete in Korea, why not?
RW: I had just come back from a broken ankle and was not really ready to go straight into a world tour competition.
BS: What do conditions look like they could be in Costa Brava?
It’s looking pretty light, maybe some sea breezes depending on the temperature. CB can throw anything at you, so it’s best just to be ready for anything even if the forecast isn’t great.
BS: What equipment are you most likely to use?
RW: I would say my 8.6 and big board will be the most used combo.
BS: Who are the names to watch out for at the top? Aside from the big names, who else could sneak a good finish?
RW: Here there are a lot of pretty good guys, I think the Gaastra and Tabou team will put in good performances though.

BS: Do you think Alberto can produce another win?
RW: Sure he can, it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure. I think he has the gear to win and he is working hard. But on the race course anything can happen.
BS: What finish are you aiming for?
RW: 1st place.
BS: Who’s looking the most determined to improve on their previous results? And how much slalom training have you been doing?
RW: Everyone has the fire to do well. A lot of us have been here for 4 or 5 days already so that shows the commitment, I feel I am pretty ready now to race again too. I am fit, my ankle is fine and my gear is fast. I just want to get out there and race.

Wave Tips: How To Get Out with Adam Lewis

Is It Time To Go Asymmetric?
Choosing the right fin for your board is very important; the correct fin set up should mean you can take your sailing up a level, getting the performance you never thought possible from your board.
With asymmetric fins not only making an appearance but becoming a must have for many windsurfers, Boardseeker decided to catch up with Steve Thorp and Graham Ezzy to find out more about the development and performance of asymmetric fins, specifically the K4 Ezzy Asy Stubby for quads and tri-fin boards.
All images credit Tommy and Jo Perkins. 
The Design
The Ezzy asymmetric fin has a similar template to the Stubby, but everything else was designed from scratch. We wanted to design a fin in conjunction with Graham Ezzy, basically to make the ultimate front fin with the help of one of the world’s best and most progressive riders.
Obviously there’s nothing new with asymmetric fins for riding waves, surfboards have used asymmetric front fins for eons and we also use them for speedsailing.
The Process
We knew there were performance gains to be made for waveriding, so we started out by taking our existing fins in bigger sizes and grinding them down to make smaller asymmetric ones; this is much less expensive than making moulds. Even though we expected a performance boost we were a little surprised by just how much better across the board the fairly roughly foiled prototypes were. They seemed a little bit quicker, a little earlier planing, a little better upwind, a little more hold, grip and drive; not a huge amount better but a noticeable amount everywhere even at this early stage.
It seemed a little embarrassing sending Graham such rough looking fins, (the composite isn’t easy to polish back up like g10.. ) but it was the quickest way to get things rolling.
At this point I also tested the effects of ‘cant’ or tipping the fin over slightly towards the rail. It definitely made the board very sweet to gybe, but this didn’t translate to wave riding, it just felt like the fins lost power and drive during a turn. So, we decided to make the fins upright, although more testing into very small amounts of cant may prove useful.
NB on surfboards ‘cant’ is used to make the board easier to tip onto it’s rail and initiate turns, but on a windsurf we have foot straps and our connection to the rig to make this pretty easy anyway.
Continuing Development
With such positive initial results it was easy to commit ourselves to investing in new moulds and producing the first ‘moulded’ prototypes. We decided to start with a flat inner foil and sharp entry, this is the same as most surfboard fins (most of the top pro surfer’s still use FIF) and is the simplest to design.
As an asymmetric fin has twice the foil on one side, it made sense to make the fin slightly wider (chord) than normal and slightly thinner. We moulded the first prototypes in two different stiffnesses to see how this changed the performance, also being aware that the asymmetric-ness made the fins a little stiffer when bent outwards (handily more flex when bent inwards). We needed to produce different ‘toe in’ angles for the fins as well so we could explore this parameter and also different boards would have different optimum toe angles and different box angles.
We sent this first batch of various sizes, angles and stiffnesses to Graham in Maui to test.
We all felt the fins performed amazingly, but all agreed they seemed ‘twitchy’ in a straight line regardless of the toe angle. We put this down to the sharp leading edge and flat inner foil, which turned out to be the case.
Our next series of prototypes had a more rounded front radii and positive inside foils and we all tested these until we agreed we had the best mix of stability and performance. It was a long process but we wanted to get them perfect first time round.

Graham Ezzy:
I’m out of the world on my way to Baja, so I unfortunately can’t offer a full response…writing on my phone hurriedly before losing service. But I will say that I absolutely love the fins. I use 10s with 2 degrees of toe and a 16 or 17cm center fin, depending on conditions. I find that I’d rather ride a smaller middle fin by a cm than go smaller on the sides.
The asy fins have opened up a new level of wavesailing for me. I can turn tighter and faster. And most noticeably I can more easily carry speed through the turns.
I am very proud to have my name on them.

Is the Asy right for you?
Obviously, you need a board with front fins, so anyone with a quad or tri (I have tried them as rears but feel they are too asymmetric for this).
They will suit any conditions from big punchy down the line to small mushy onshore, light winds or full windy.
They will basically add a lot of drive, hold and grip to the rail of your board, making it turn more on the front foot -great for full power gouges and hucks when it’s firing, or just more speed and drive in weak mushy conditions.
You can also use a smaller size fronts than you would normally. We’re finding most riders are using 8′s in their quads and 10′s in their tris, but there have been calls for smaller sizes so we’ll be doing 6′s next.
Why are asymmetric fins the way forward?
I feel that asymmetric fins are here to stay as without doubt they give a performance advantage over standard symmetrical front fins (as they have in surfing). They are more efficient and basically give more lift for the same drag, so you can use smaller fins for less drag, or get more power into your turns with the same size fins.
The main draw back seems to be setting them up and getting the toe angle correct. You need to aim for between 2.5 and 3 degrees of toe, although some riders are liking the fins outside of this guideline. We sell the fins with +1 or +2 degrees toe and you need to select the angle depending on how much toe your boards boxes have. I think this extra complication is maybe putting people off, but I feel a little time measuring boxes and trying the Ezzy fins is well worth it. See guide below.
The fins are made from a composite material, similar to the more expensive moulded surfboard fins such as glass flex. This gives them a stiff base with good flex in the tip with a good foil thickness. The material has a very good reflex and memory, meaning they don’t stay bent after loading and spring back quickly.
Advantages other than the great performance are that they are very light, unlikely to ever injure you and are a lot cheaper than the alternatives. All the K4 fins naturally have more looseness and grip than non-composite fins. Remember too that you can chuck them in the dishwasher to bring them up like new!
How to measure your board’s boxes ‘toe angle’
Difference in span between the ends of your front boxes in ‘mm’ and the angle of toe your boxes have (taking a 10cm box length)
DIFF 0, TOE 0
DIFF 1.75, TOE 0.5
DIFF 3.5, TOE 1.0
DIFF 5.25, TOE 1.5
DIFF 7.5, TOE 2.o
Choose either +1 or +2 degrees to bring each fins overall toe angle to ideally between 2.5 and 3 degrees. More toe will make the board feel very turning, less toe more drivey, but too much or too little toe will cause unnecessary drag. Bare in mind that the shape of your board and the conditions you sail in will also alter the optimum toe angle slightly. That said a wide range of angles will actually work fine but just give a different feel and different compromise between looseness, hold and speed.

What are your best features?
My smile, I laugh all the time, and my skin because I have tanned skin even in winter; I don’t know why but my friends are jealous!
4/5
Where are you from?
I was born at Paris but I have lived in the South of France since I was 7. It’s a better region for windsurfing because forecast is always good! 300 windy days during the year! What else do you need?
5/5 A spare room so we can too experience these 300 windy days?
What is work?
I’m an Osteopathy student during the week and a semi-professional windsurfer during the weekend. I like this life, even if it’s not easy because of many competitions and exams.
5/5 Wow. A hard worker, hard racer and Estelle can fix our broken windsurfing bodies. Score.

What watersports do you do?
I love all watersports but windsurfing is the best one! I like surfing, wakeboarding, SUP and (the summer only) jetskiing.
3/5
What is your most memorable achievement in watersports?
When I won (First Girl) DEFI WIND 2013 because it’s the biggest windsurf event in the world and it happens at my home spot of Gruissan.
This year, there were more than 850 competitors on the same start line! It was just an amazing experience and feeling… you have to do at least once in your life.
5/5 Sounds very tempting.
What should a guy do to impress you?
If he wants to impress me, he should do windsurfing! He should go faster than me or do better moves and higher jumps. I like when things are extreme and when a guy impress you, it’s so sexy!
3/5 Not quite sure we can live up to these sort of expectations!
What makes a watersports guy a good boyfriend?
His mind! Because he feels like doing the same things like surfing, traveling, have fun and can give me advice on other watersports.
And, a watersport guy doesn’t often speak about football… Damn football!
5/5 No more explanations of the offside rule then?

What qualities would your perfect man have?
He can make me laugh, it’s the best quality! I don’t try to meet a perfect man but if he’s sporty, has muscle, likes windsurfing, and he can cook, he has a good level!
3/5 That’s quite a list. Will have to dig out the Jamie Oliver cook book we think!
What do you like about being in a male dominated sport?
It’s cool, the guys are very nice and funny but without girls, it’s boring! With the french windsurfgirls, we have a new association: WAW (We Are Waterwomen) The WAW association’s intention is simple: show that there are windsurf girls in France! We’re friends band that have a good time together on the water and at the beach. We’ll set up many events to join together for fun and share our passion. We give all profits in aid of humanitarian organisation like UNICEF, Sidaction, etc.
5/5 Who’s up for a trip to France?
What’s the wildest thing you have ever done?
Last summer, during French Championship, there was no wind and we went to jump of a cliff, 15 meters! And just after we discovered a submarine cave, it was amazing moment! We had to dive under the water to go out of the cave.

Timo Mullen
The search for perfect windsurfing conditions is unending, there is always another wave, another shore to explore. Some may think that you have to be a professional windsurfer and travel to every corner of the world to score World class conditions, but this simply isn’t true. Timo Mullen trawls the UK for stand out conditions, clocking up thousands of miles in his van, and is rarely disappointed with the conditions he seeks out; he also does this around full time work and keeping the family happy.
So, how does a top class sailor score regular World class conditions without touring the world? Boardseeker finds out from the man himself.
STORNAWAY, SCOTLAND – APRIL 25: Former British Wind Surfing Champion Timo Mullen abandonned a trip to Hawaii after only three days to meet up with current World Wind surfing Champion Ross Williams and British Champion Jamie Hancock at Bragar beach on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides after weather forecasters forcasted epic wind surfing condtions, on April 25, 2013 in the Isle of Lewis, Stornaway, Scotland. (Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)
On the road, I’d say 70% of my travel is windsurf related and the rest is for work, I do approx 40,000 miles per year! My van’s a year old this month and it’s done 42,000 miles for sure. With regards air travel in a year I would estimate one South Africa trip, one Maui trip and then back and forth to Ireland around six times.
My whole thought process to my windsurfing is, if you sail in the UK you can get better conditions than every where else in the world, if you leave it to the last minute. The reason being is that it’s guaranteed when you go so close to a good forecast. Well, almost guaranteed! I’ve probably been skunked about 5% of the time. But most of the times this has happened I’ve gone knowing that it’s not looking perfect and that’s there a 50/50 chance of getting the conditions, but sometimes the rewards are worth that gamble!
The last big road trip was over to Ireland before the Red Bull Storm Chase, and nope that one didn’t pay off! We got totally skunked! I knew it was probably going to happen, but I couldn’t bear not taking the chance, we got massive swell, nearly double mast high but the wind dropped!
I’ve never ever, not once thought ‘I can’t be arsed with this trip’, I love it. Absolutely love it.
A lot of people think I always go with a photographer, but that’s just not true. What they don’t see is that 80% of the time I go it’s just me. It doesn’t bother me going on my own, there’ll always be a surfer or someone I know at the place and I’d never go out on my own. Usually my dad will join me, he’s been a Lifeboat man for 25 years so I’m in safe hands. I’d always make sure that someone knows that I’m at that spot and that if I’m not in at a certain time that something’s gone wrong. I sailed just at Sandbanks the other day in 3.3 weather, and even thought it’s the safest and easiest beach to sail in the UK I still told my wife that if I wasn’t back by 9pm to come down and look for me, or to call the coastguard! I look at everything as a calculated risk!

When I’m planning a trip I mostly use Windguru, I think it’s still the best for last minute forecasts. It’s also quite good for getting a gage for is it going to be good in five days, so I kind of use that as a starting point; that just puts the idea in my head. Then I will literally leave it until how ever many hours it is to drive to the spot and I’ll make the decision. I don’t constantly look at all, I’ll look five days ahead, then the day or so before I’ll really start to concentrate on it. I’ll also be planning my week, as if I’m going. I always plan rest time into my trips, stopping every four hours and making sure I get enough sleep to be well rested is key.
The biggest thing to organise is work, I have a full time job so that of course comes into it, but fortunately a lot of the stuff I do seems to by coincidence happen when I’m not that busy at work! Well, I suppose it’s not just coincidence, I am fairly flexible with work and I do try and arrange things as best I can, but I do miss some good days.
Another big thing is that my wife is ridiculously cool, she knows that windsurfing is what I love to do and that I’m a much nicer person when I’ve been windsurfing. Also, when it is not windy I am pretty on it with getting my brownie points.
It’s all very calculated, I really don’t think there’s any madness to it at all. I think the mad people are the ones that sit in one place saying ‘there’s been no wind for three months’! It’s not a big deal, speak to Ben Severne and the WA guys and they drive 12 to 16 hours every week to go windsurf and nobody bats an eyelid. If they said ‘Oh, we’re going to Gnaraloo this weekend’ nobody would be surprised, they just do it.

I’ll give you an example, I finish work at 4pm on a Friday, at 12.30pm the following day I can be windsurfing mast high, cross off Thurso or Isle of Lewis, whilst on the south coast it’s clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine.
Then I can be back for work on Monday morning and I would have windsurfed in world class conditions, not just good for the UK, I’m talking real world class. Yes, I would have driven a lot of miles, but that would have cost me £220 in fuel. My mates would have spent that over the same weekend on alcohol and taking their kids to Peppa Pig World! I guess maybe I should have been doing that, but I see people drinking that much in a weekend easily and that’s now one thing I’ve probably taken out of my life. I don’t really drink now as I just see it as a total waste of money.
I try to go to Hawaii once a year and last year was probably one of the best years, it was windy every day for three weeks. I was just itching to go back and I knew it probably wasn’t going to be that good again, but I had air miles to use up, enough to get a return first class flight! I already knew it was probably going to be hit or miss, but I had to use them up and it was the only time I could get time away, plus it didn’t look that good in the UK.
So I got there, we had really good conditions for three days and then as I thought it unfortunately just went flat and windless and was predicted to stay this was for the last six days of my trip. I looked at the UK forecast and the north of Scotland had the best forecast I had probably ever seen. Jamie Hancock and Ross Williams were already going up there and I’d said just skype me if it’s on, I’m probably going to come with you. It cost me £50 to change my flight so I flew home, drove back down to Poole to pick up my wetsuit and say Hi to my wife and kids for 10 minutes then got in the car and drove to Scotland and we sailed perfect conditions for four days, absolutely amazing. Basically the five days I would have been sat in Maui with no wind, instead I sailed everyday probably in better waves, and more waves, than I would have done even if Hawaii had been going off. The madness of theory was that being in Maui for those six days would have cost me £700, it’s so expensive there, so by coming home and going to Lewis instead cost me £300, so I basically saved money, or that’s what I tell the wife!

Top Moves with Bubble
If you’re already comfortable with the basic freestyle moves and looking to learn the top moves like the pros, there’s a number of moves you can look at learning next. Andy ‘Bubble’ Chambers joins Boardseeker to talk you through the Pippa.
The Pipa
The Pipa was invented by Ricardo Campello back in the early days of freestyle. It’s not really seen anymore these days which is a shame as it’s quite a fun way of finishing a normal Spock 540! I remember we used to do a Pipa and stay planing back to sail and then go straight into a Gozzada! You do need to be able to Spock 540 consistently to be able to pull one off though.
