Longing for summer

Wave riding the Canary Islands with Philip Köster. Summertime on the Canary Islands delivers the perfect fusion between wind and waves, creating conditions worth crossing continents for.

Philip Köster understands this better than most - living just meters from the beach in Gran Canaria, he knows these waters like the back of his hand.

The winter months bring powerful Atlantic swells but inconsistent winds. It's during these quiet periods that five-time world champion Philip - along with every other wave sailor worth their salt - lies in wait.

When the tradewinds finally kick in and the forecast hunting begins, that's when the magic happens.
