One more round in Korea

The day at Ulsan, Korea startet rainy and cloudy but then turned into a sunny and windy spot in the late afternoon, and the sailors were sent out for another round of racing. It was both up and down for our guys at Jinha beach as Josh Angulo got disqualified in the quarter final. But Kurosh Kiani regained some of the glory by winning his first round heat in style. Here is some of the words Josh had to say about the day: “Today was one of those days where my first reaction when I went over early and was disqualified, was … I hate myself!. I know it’s very strong, but for some reason slalom sailing makes me that frustrated, because I’m very hungry for results. Fortunatley with age, I learn to cool quicker and already by the time I arrived to the beach I was still bummed but mellow. I had a talk with Robby Swift, who I know was feeling a bit down as well, so we got to bounce a few things back and forth. My high point is that I started learning quite a bit more about my new Gun Sails, which I just received. So I’ve had to learn about the tuning during the racing, which is definitely not ideal. I’m starting to get more comfortable and I am excited at the possibilities of their performance. Also, I have had a huge suport from Gun Sails, although I’m off to a shaky start, they understand the circumstances and have been very cool about the whole thing which reconfirms my confidence with the people I’m working with. Also, today I had a very proud moment when Kurosh won his first round heat in stylish form in front of second place Former World Champuon , Micah Buzianis. It was gret to see the big “A” in first place and the Magnum chomping down the competition. I’m looking forward to what I hope will be one last chance here in Korea and regardless of the challenges here. The Angulo team is buckled down and fully commited to the race and developmental efforts to be at the front”
