Het leek er de laatste tijd al op dat er iets ging gebeuren in de windsurfwereld. Na een bericht op de website van the Professional Windsurfers Association, kunnen we er zeker van zijn dat Philip Köster zijn vertrouwde merk Neilpryde verlaat, en vanaf nu de golven gaat trotseren met Severne.

4windsurf.it meldt dat Philip zich op dit moment in West-Australië bevindt om hier verschillende zeilen te testen. Ook werkt hij hier samen met het R&D team. Een nieuwe move van Philip Köster!

The PWA interviewde Philip Köster. 


PWA: How was 2013 overall for you? Highlight? Hardest part?
Philip Köster: "I had a very good year with a lot of windy training days, awesome competitions and full of media working, TV spots and more. I was travelling for the first time to Fiji in my life and made a trip to Florida and met nice people there. I learned a lot in this year. The hardest part was definitely not losing the title but not to compete in physically good conditions was the worse thing for me."

PWA: In Maui you were suffering from a staph infection, are you fully recovered now?
Philip Köster: "Yes, it took a long time, but I am ok now."

PWA: What have you been up to since Maui?
Philip Köster: "I was in Maui 2 weeks, in bed recovering from the infection, then surfing, windsurfing and a trip to Cocoa Beach Florida and now I am in Oz to test sails and boards."

PWA: It was recently announced that you will be leaving NeilPryde? How long had you been on NeilPryde and how do you feel about moving to another brand?
Philip Köster: "Yes I am leaving NeilPryde. We had a very good time together for about 5 years I guess, but I am still only 19 years old, i'd like to make other experiences as well, trying more stuff out and start developing sails. The new sails are powerful and super light so it will be interesting where they are going to take me, it's just great to sail with something different."

PWA: There's been a lot of speculation about who who you might be joining, can you end the speculation and reveal which sails you will be sailing on next year?
Philip Köster: "I will be sailing with Severne Sails, matching great with my boards."

"Yes, Philip will be on Blades , he loves them :)"
