At the recent Mercedes Benz Sylt PWA Super Grand Slam - Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo (Fanatic / NorthSails) not only captured his 8th PWA Freestyle World Championship, but he also produced a standout performance in the Wave Qualification Round to make it into the main event with almost perfect scores.

In the past we have seen several freestyle talents flourish when transitioning into the waves - namely 3-time Wave World Champion Kauli Seadi (99NoveNove / Hot Sails Maui), 3-time Freestyle World Champion Ricardo Campello (Point-7 / Aeron), 2014 PWA Wave World Champion Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) and of course Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing), who has won world titles in both disciplines. Now could Gollito be set to become part of that exclusive club?

By the looks of his latest video - Freestalero III - and his performance in Sylt you’d certainly have to say he has an excellent chance and it looks like he is ramping up in preparation more and more.

Gollito Estredo (Fanatic / NorthSails): “Hello everyone! Here is the FREESTALERO Episode lll. From my trip to Gran Canaria, Spain where I have been training in the wave discipline and preparing for next year. Gran Canaria "Pozo Izquiero" is an incredible place both to surf and to meet and enjoy with friends I hope you like it! See you in the next episode :).”
