On the final day of the PWA Wave World Cup Tenerife the competitors and PWA crew headed to Siam Park for the Dunkerbeck Eyewear tow-in exhibition. Being towed into the artificial wave, the riders rotated through crazy Paskos, Shakas into Pushloops, etc. The landing though ended mostly with funny to painful looking crashes, as there was no wind. But there was no doubt about it, Ricardo Campello was the most impressive man on the water and he was the only one, who was able to control his landings.
We, of course, still prefer the real windsurfing, and thinking of all the amazing nature given windsurfing spots on the Canaries it still feels weird to move into an artificial pool, but…anyway… the video is nicely made and the competitors and the crowd seemed to be having a nice evening.

I think also that, not only with no/light wind but even with Pozo +40, we should use Heli Drones for slowmo filming in the heats, and show it… Read more »
It is like in sex. The change is interesting, to do different things is very interesting. Why not oral, why not tow-in surfing in artificial waves, it is just fun and while you do it, you have the maximum and best fun, no matter what you do. And moreover, in the case of windsurfing, it seems that there are possible more or other things in this tow-in jumping than in wind-driven conditions. Possibly in this tow-in conditions we can learn more about rotations with windsurfing gear, indepednding from the wind, and this can later be transfered to real windsurfing conditions.… Read more »
