Neil Pryde punta sui giovani, alla ricerca degli eredi di Bjorn… Philip Köster, il tredicenne, tedeschino di origine, ma “canaro” a tutti gli effetti (vive a cento metri dalla spiaggia di Gran Canaria) è l’esempio di questa nuova “politica” Pryde.
Pare che Philip sia così bravo in wave ed abbia tali margini di miglioramento che potrebbe realmente ricalcare le orme del Capo, che per anni, prima di passare alla concorrenza, ha condiviso con Neil Pryde un interminabile periodo di successi!

NeilPryde Windsurfing is pleased to introduce the newest member of TeamPryde International. Of German descent but living just 100m from the beach in Gran Canaria, thirteen year old wave sailor, Philip Köster (E44) is already making himself known on the professional tour placing first in the junior super jump session at the PWA event in Pozo last year.
“It’s fantastic to have the opportunity to work with a young rider with so much talent. If Philip continues to develop his on the water sailing ability as quickly in the future as he has over the past year or so, it’s quite possible that were going to see something well out of the ordinary” Jon Squires - NeilPryde Windsurfing.
Philip will ride the Alpha, a sail ideally suited to the conditions where he lives, and he will be joining the rest of the team in Maui next month for the 2009 collection photoshoot so you will be seeing a lot more of Philip very soon.
