WELCOME TO COLD HAWAII The KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup media team is once again looking forward to working with the media in Klitmøller. We hope you’ll enjoy and take advantage of the opportunities for good storytelling, amazing photos and film of the sailors launching themselves into 10–15 meter high loops and riding on the raging waves of the North Sea. 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.
ABOUT THE COLD HAWAII PWA WORLD CUP The Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) is responsible for the Windsurfing World Cup, and therefore also for crowning the World Champion in Windsurfing Wave Performance. This is the sixth time in a row the KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup event has taken place. The world’s best windsurfers are visiting Klitmøller, where Oerhage and the legendary Cold Hawaii spot “The Reef” is the center of the battle for the points which ultimately determines who becomes world champion. The Spanish Cold Hawaii ambassador, Victor Fernandez (E-42), leads the World Cup closely followed by German Philip Köster (G-44). Jaeger Stone (KA-120), who came back last year and made a strong comeback, is currently ranked number three. Among the 32 competitors and currently ranked 30th in the world is also local windsurfing star Kenneth Danielsen (D-38). www.pwaworldtour.com

THE SPORT OF WINDSURFING
6 5
Windsurfing was presented as a new water sport discipline in California in the late 60s by the sailor, Jim Drake and the surfer, Hoyle Schweitzer. The two of them invented the “free sailing system” which initially made use of hand-built equipment. The sport of windsurfing combines elements of sailing and surfing in a unique way making it possible to surf almost anywhere with wind and water. Today windsurfing has developed into various forms and disciplines and the equipment is designed for every kind of windsurfing style.
8
WHAT GEAR DOES A PRO WINDSURFER NEED? 1. BOARD: The sailors have several boards of various sizes with them. The windier it is, the smaller the board they will use. A typical board is around 230 cm in length and weighs 6 kg. 2. SAIL: The sailors will bring sails of between 3.3m² and 5.7m² with them to Klitmøller. The windier it is, the smaller the sail they will use.

3. MAST: The masts are made of carbon fiber, are approximately 370 cm long and weigh 1.5kg.
6. HARNESS: In order to hold on to the sail for long periods of time, the sailors wear a harness around their waist.
4. BOOM: The boom is the “handle” of the sail, and can be adjusted to fit different sail sizes. Booms are also made of carbon fiber.
5. WETSUIT: The windsurfers wear wetsuits, which are very flexible and 3–5mm thick, to protect them from the cold.
9
COMPETITION RULES AND POINTS POINTS AND HEATS A heat typically lasts for 8–10 minutes, followed by a two-minute break, after which the next heat begins. Depending on the conditions, the sailors will be scored on up to three jumps and three wave-rides in a heat. They compete by the “knockout system”, meaning that the person with the most points wins and moves on to the next heat, until there are only two people left in the final. The judges can award the sailors from 1 to 12 points for the manoeuvres or wave-rides they perform during each heat. The sailors are judged in two categories: jumps and wave riding. Jumps are judged based on the level of difficulty, how well the jump is performed and how high it is. In the category of wave riding, the judgment is based on style and how big the wave is. SINGLE ELIMINATION The 32 sailors are placed in a “single elimination”, with two people on the water in each heat. The winner of the heat will advance and move on to the next heat. All sailors are seeded based on previous competitions. The seeding of the individual sailor determines who he will be competing against in the first heat. The single elimination can run for several days. In the end 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be determined though the final and the loser’s final. When the single elimination ends the competition thus has a result.
10
DOUBLE ELIMINATION It is possible for all the sailors to get a second chance. This happens if the weather makes it possible to carry out a “double elimination”. If so the results from the single elimination determine the seeding in the double elimination, so that the winner of the single elimination meets the last man left in the double elimination. At this point the winner of the single elimination is still undefeated, while the last man left in the double elimination has lost one heat namely the one he lost during the single elimination. Everyone else has lost two heats – one in the single elimination and one in the double elimination. If the winner of the single elimination defeats the last man left in the double elimination, he will win the competition. Everybody else will then have lost two heats, apart from the winner of the single elimination, who has won all of his heats. However, if the winner of the single elimination loses to the last man in the double elimination, the two of them will be tied, with one lost heats each. This will send them on to a “Super final”, where the winner of the heat will be the overall winner. IT AIN’T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS The double elimination can, like the single elimination, run for several days. If the double elimination is impossible to finish, the result from the single elimination counts. That means that the winner of the KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup is not found until the double elimination has been sailed, or the competition days are over.

SOME OF THE MOVES To impress the judges, the competitors will attempt various maneuvers, such as: Front Loop: The sailor throws himself into a forward spin in which he is completely upside down. Back Loop: The sailor steers into the wind to rotate 360° and land back on his feet. Push Loop: A push loop is also a backward rotation, but with a twist whereby the sailor is on top of his equipment in mid-air. Double Front Loop: A jump in which the sailor goes into a very fast rotation and spins round twice before landing. Push Loop/Back Loop: One of the highest scoring jumps which has both a back AND a forward rotation. Triple Front Loop: So far, nobody has achieved this move. When the conditions are right, the sailors can soar as high as 10–15 meters above the water! On the way in, the sailors will be riding and gliding on the steepest part of the waves to impress the judges.

Philip Köster was born in Las Palmas, on Gran Canary Island, on March 5th 1994. He grew up 90 metres away from the beach in the only house located on the beach of Vargas. At the age of eight it was already crystal clear to him that he wanted to learn windsurfing. When Philip was twelve he got his first wildcard for the PWA World Cup in Pozo. He was knocked out in the first heat, but this only encouraged him to spend every spare minute on the water in order to get better. Three years later, in 2009, he won his first World Cup. In 2011, at the age of 17, he became World Champion in Cold Hawaii, a title he successfully defended when he won the title in Cold Hawaii again in 2012. Philip is considered to be one of the biggest windsurfing talents ever.

Ricard Capello was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he began surfing at an early age. Richard had the advantage of living right in front of the beach in Rio. His life as a surfer was challenged when his mother and stepfather had to move to Isla Margarita, Venezuela. This was, however, where he began his career as a windsurfer. Richard made friends who wanted to windsurf and began windsurfing with them. In 2000 or 2001, he received support from JP and Neil Pryde, and decided to enter the PWA contest in Austria. Richard impressed the world and got a lot of coverage in the media. As a result, JP invited him to his first photo shoot. He left school to start a career as a professional windsurfer.

Kenneth Danielsen started competing when he was 16 years old, in the Danish formula and slalom contests. When he was 18, Kenneth started competing in wave as well, and won his first Danish championship title in the junior division. A few years later, he started to compete in freestyle and won his first Danish championship title in freestyle in 2007. After deciding to compete in the PWA in 2009, he applied for a spot in freestyle, as well as wave. He got a spot in the freestyle on Fuerteventura, but had to sail the trials in Gran Canaria to get a spot in the wave event. Kenneth won a wildcard and was able to compete. He did the rest of the wave and freestyle events that year, but quickly realised that it’s extremely difficult to do well in two disciplines. In 2010 he decided to focus on waves only. Until recently, Kenneth has lived in Klitmøller, but he moved to Aalborg to study. He is considered a local competitor.
