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.
