Event Preview: Prepare to be amazed as the world’s most radical wave riders head to Klitmoller for the third battle on the PWA 2011 wave tour.

Following on from the success of 2010’s nail biting competition, the PWA are returning to the ferocious shores of Klitmoller in Denmark for the men’s wave fleets third contest. Savage winds and fierce waves are brewing for the next stop on the 2011 men’s wave tour and forty-four of the world’s most talented wave riders are ready to fight it out on the tempestuous waters.

Located in Northern Jutland, the tiny fishing village of Klitmoller is famed for the harsh conditions the North Sea conjures up and has earned itself the name of Cold Hawaii. Howling winds and firing waves make it the perfect stop for the international fleet to throw their largest aerials and slash the waves in a bid to win precious mid-season world ranking points and a cut of the prize money.

What’s the deal?

Seven days of extreme competition will take place between the 12th-18th September. The men’s wave fleet will be unleashing their most daring moves in order to outdo their opponents for a taste of the €30,000 prize purse and those critical world ranking points.

Who to watch out for?

Having lead the charge on the men’s fleet in the first two event in 2011, the double forward loop master Philip Koster (Starboard / NeilPryde / Dakine / Maui Ultra Fins) will be pulling out all the stops to maintain his position at the top of the table.

In second place sits the Brazilian, Kauli Seadi (JP / NeilPryde). Seadi’s unique style has allowed him to work his way past his adversaries in Pozo and Tenerife. Seadi is sure to be launching into super tweaked pushloops and ripping the waves to pieces with his super-style.

One of the most daring riders on tour Ricardo Campello (JP / NeilPryde / MFC), holds the title of the highest double forward loops so far this season. Expect to see Campello armored up and boosting into gravity defying aerials to work his way onto the podium.

After a spectacular performance in Pozo, Dario Ojeda (Tabou / Simmer / Dakine / MFC) has his hands on fourth place. Ojeda has been risking it all to impress the judges to far this season, pulling super late wave 360’s and amazing double forwards.

The 2010 wave champion Victor Fernandez Lopez (Fanatic / North / MFC), will be firing with all guns blazing in Klitmoller in order to break his way back onto the podium. Fernandez Lopez is famous for his super aggressive wave rides and faultless loops, expect to see a Fernandez Lopez tearing up every wave the North Sea has to offer.

Having finish in second place on his home spot in Tenerife, Daniel Bruch (Starboard / Severne / AL360) will be on the hunt for another high ranking finish. Fresh from injury Bruch is looking stronger than ever and if he has ironed out the creases in his double forward loops, he is sure to give the top five a run for their money.

Further down the ranks sits a very on form Alex Mussolini (Tabou / Gaastra), the Australian wave wizard Jaeger Stone (Severne) and the high flying Marcilio Browne (Fanatic / North / MFC), along with a whole host of hot contenders.

Also in the mix are the Klitmoller locals ready to test their skills against the world best. Tour regular Kenneth Danielsen (F2 / Simmer / Mystic / MFC) currently sits in 14th place and he will be looking to take advantage of his home knowledge to work his way through the ranks. As will PWA veteran Lars Peterson (JP / NeilPryde).

With an epic forecast on the cards, the tension is mounting Klitmoller and it looks like it’s going to be an insane competition. Registration will kick off at 10-12pm, on the 12th September with the skippers’ meeting at 12:30pm and the first possible start to competition at 1pm.

KIA @coldhawaii World Cup

Day one: Klitmoller bursts into life for the world’s most radical wave riders allowing a dramatic start to the opening round of competition as the sailors ripped, slashed and turned their way through each heat.

An exquisite start to the 2011 PWA Kia @coldhawaii world cup, witnessed forty-four of the world’s finest wave riders register for the third stop on the men’s wave tour. Gentle winds and small waves caressed the Klitmoller shores whilst the sailors rigged their equipment and prepared for the week’s competition.

Once the formalities of the morning were completed, head judge Duncan Coombs placed the sailors on standby, well aware of the impending storm on the horizon. The winds and waves built throughout the afternoon until they were thrashing the coastline, and were big enough to tempt the elite riders away from the comforts of the beach. Once the conditions were at a suitable competition standard the PWA crew wasted no time in kicking off the proceedings and swiftly worked through the action-packed opening round of competition.

PWA legend Lars Petersen (JP / NeilPryde), made his return to the competition scene with his exceptional wave selection allowing him to sail past his opponent Thomas Wessel Svensson (Gaastra) with ease, whilst Phil Horrocks (JP / Gaastra) went about landing a clean set of aerials, earning him enough point to defeat his contender.

Mikkel Asmussen (RRD / Simmer / MFC) was next up to impress the judges with his wave rides and a tweaked pushloop, obviously comfortable sailing on the North Sea. As was Andreas Olandersson (Simmer / MFC) in his heat against, Stefan Gobisch (JP / Simmer). Olandersson pulled a super-high pushloop and a backloop when the wind was at its most deadly.

The slickest wave rides of the day came from Brit, Adam Lewis (Point-7). Lewis ripped each wave to pieces with his super-aggressive top turns, both impressing the judges and guaranteeing his pass into the second round.

Despite missing the initial three minutes of his heat, Kevin Mevissen (Mystic) came back with a vengeance and made a superb recovery. Mevissen picked up a head high wave and worked it for all it was worth pulling a backside hit, two frontside smacks and a taka on the end for good measure.

Closing the day’s competition, Germany’s Florian Jung (RRD / Gun / Dakine / Maui Ultra Fins) whipped up a frenzy on the waves, and pulled a series of smooth turns on a record number of waves to secure his victory against Casper Lykke Pedersen (Fanatic / NeilPryde).

Eager to take advantage of the down time earlier in the day the PWA caught up with the pair currently in joint second place, Kauli Seadi (JP / NeilPryde) and Ricardo Campello (JP / NeilPryde / MFC) about their plans in Klitmoller.

PWA: How are you feeling about the year so far?

Campello: “It could be better, I haven’t had the best results but it could be worse as well. I always like to be on the podium, but the level is super high so anything can happen. I hope we get great wind tomorrow.”

Seadi: “I think the year is going great, the standard is really high and the boys are all over-prepared. Each year the standard gets higher and higher, a lot of the guys have been training the jumping and I think that really helps on the tour. I am happy to be in second.”

PWA: Have you done any special training for Klitmoller?

Seadi: “I have been at home, its port tack there now. We had some really strong days and I have been on 3.6 and 4.2, so that’s good practice for here.”

Campello: “I hope that the forecast comes tomorrow, and then it will be the conditions I really like. Port tack, big waves and strong wind, I am going to concentrate and try my best to get through each heat.”

PWA: Any special plans to take on Philip Koster (Starboard / NeilPryde / Dakine / Maui Ultra Fins)?

Seadi: “I think Philip is really solid, but anything can happen now. I think anyone in the top nine can make it onto the podium. I will just try my best to get through the heats.”

PWA: Have you been training any special moves for this event?

Campello: “I have been training all the moves and depending on who I come up against I will try the pushloop forwards and the big double forwards, I think they are the moves that score the most.”

With an epic forecast on the cards and rumors of the fifty year storm on the way, the second day of competition promises ferocious waves, howling winds and insane action as the higher seeded sailors enter the competition. The skippers meeting will kick off at 7:30am with the first possible start to competition at 8am.

Es wird bereits wieder gefahren...

Der Livestream http://www.worldcup.coldhawaii.eu/live-mashup/ ist eine Frechheit, so was kann man sich dann lieber ganz klemmen. Und das heutzutage...

Meine Fresse, sind das anspruchsvolle Bedingungen. Mehr als masthohe Wellen, hammerstarker Wind...

Und der Livestream funktioniert sogar recht gut bei mir.
Aber die Bedingungen kommen einem auf dem Stream garnicht sooo extrem vor

Wind und Wellen sind nicht so das Problem. Die Strömung ist einfach höllisch...Das zieht wie in einem Fluss hier vorbei. Das ist wirklich mehr als anspruchsvoll. Leider hat sich Flo Jung ziemlich verletzt, sieht so aus, als hätte er einen größeren Schaden im Knie. Lars Petersen hat im ersten Heat weit draußen sein Zeug verloren und der Jet-Ski-Fahrer hat ihn mehr als eine halbe Stunde nicht gefunden - Horrorvorstellung
Gleich geht das Halbfinale Köster vs. Campello los. Bin gespannt. Philip hat gestern beim EInfahren eine unfassbare Show abgezogen. Vier Takas auf einer Welle voll im Fluss...
Viel Spaß weiter beim Livestream - ich geh wieder raus und lass mich durchpusten.
Andreas

Danke für die Rückmeldung, schade, wäre auch gerne vor Ort.

Gegen Campello ist aber sicher eine harte Nuß!

Campello gerade mit einem Push into Forward, blitzsauber gestanden. Das wird ganz ganz eng für Philip...

Das wird an Ricardo gegangen sein, d.h. Losers Philip gegen Kauli und Finale Ricardo gegen Victor...

Seh ich auch so....

Ja, steht jetzt auch so auf der Webpage.

Da wird Philip in der Double Elimination ein paar Buletten nachlegen müssen...

Moin,

nur schade das die show immer gleich nach max 48h Hack vorbei ist... gibt zwar jetzt ne double,
aber nicht wie beim slalom noch nen Lauf, das wäre doch was...
ist dann wie letztes jahr die ganze Woche hackt es und die Herren (und Damen) machen höchtens noch
ne expression session... wirklich schade...
Könnte man doch nochmal als ganzen Event werten, sprich 2 Durchgänge mit je ner double = doppelte Punkte
für diesen Event...
Sowas wäre natürlich für Klaas jetzt doof, aber generell kann man da doch nicht tatenlos zusehen...

Genauso denkbar im Slalom, nach z.B. 10 Fahrten 'einfach' die Wertung nochmal von vorne...

Grüße

Hi teenie,

die Wave-Worldcupper haben sich seinerzeit auf eigenen Wunsch dagegen entschieden, eine 2. Single und Double zu starten. Mir sind die Gründe nicht mehr ganz geläufig, ich meine es wurden lediglich konditionelle hervorgebracht (eigentlich schwer vorstellbar).

Im Freestyle gibt es einen 2. Durchgang Single und Double.

Im Slalom ist erst nach 15 Eliminations Feierabend (beinhaltet 2 Streicher).

Generell sehe ich es aber so wie du, wir hatten die Situation dieses Jahr bereits auf Teneriffa, wahrscheinlich ab morgen in Klitmøller wieder.
Es gibt nichts blöderes für die Zuschauer und vor Allem für die Sponsoren von so einem Event!

Aktuell läuft übrigens der Heat Köster vs. Seadi um Platz 3 der Single Elimination.
