The fourth day of the PWA KIA Cold Hawaii World Cup saw the double elimination completed as Thomas Traversa (Tabou / Gaastra) took on the 2011 and 2012 PWA Wave Champion, Philip Köster (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) in the super final. With the conditions looking marginal throughout the morning the sailors and the crowds had to wait for a few hours before the action began. Shortly before 1pm the wind picked up a touch and after a brief warm-up session to check the conditions head judge, Duncan Coombs, made the call to begin the final. With the light winds and waves, the super final consisted of the best two waves over a duration of twenty-five minutes. This is a film produced during the KIA cold hawaii PWA World Cup in 2012.

The concept of speed sailing is rather simple: Go as fast as humanly possible on a wind powered device. The Dunkerbeck GPS challenge took this concept to the next level and brought together the world’s fastest speed sailing windsurfers, put a GPS tracking device on their rig, and let them blast through the open ocean as fast as they can, tracking speeds to determine the fastest windsurfer on the water.
