Here is the 2010 Angulo Victory twin-fin board seeing some hot action in Greece, featuring Kous.

Check out this detailed Review/Test of the 2010 Angulo Chango 73 GT that was recently written up in the blog of our USA Importer/Distributor, Windance Boardshop.  The 2010 Chango 73 was taken down to Baja and was a big hit with Gary Morris, from Windance Boardshop!

On 3rd January, with the swell pumping in Santa Maria bay, the decision was made to hold an impromtu “King of the Shorebreak” wave event.

The local boys have the shorebreak in front of the Angulo Centre dialed. In the light wind and big waves their balance is incredible. The show was amazing with goiters, one handed airs and massive light wind aerials being the norm.

Just check out the images below.

After the closely fought heats, the results were:
1. Roberto
2. Joe
3. Ariano
4. Di

Well done to all involved!

The year has started up with some fantastic waves here in Santa Maria, right in front of the centre.

Today feels like a summer day with big waves, light wind and lots of people sunbathing on the beach.

Happy New Year

The Angulo Crew

A 4m swell has been pounding the west coast for the past couple of days and the big wave surfers have been out enjoying the powerful surf at Ponta Preta.

Some more images:

After 2 solid days of surfing and SUPing at Little Ho’okipa, the third day gave great windsurfing conditions at a break called Canoa on the west coast of Sal.

With a nice sized swell pulsing through and enough wind to float out with 5.7s and big boards, the spot was absolutely perfect for some perfect easy down the line action.

Josh gave some great on the water demos and everyone followed suit, pushing their limits for the camera.

How to cut back...

This wave clinic finishes on sunday (I think everyone will be happy for the rest!) but if you would like to get involved, there are three more to follow through the winter:

2009 / 2010 clinics are running on the following dates:

Clinic 2: 12^th-17^th January 2010

Clinic 3: 26^th-31^st January 2010

Clinic 4: 2^nd-7^th March 2010

For more info or to book, please contact dawn@angulotravel.com

After finishing up at Canoa, everyone was pretty tired, so we took our packed lunches and went to watch the show at Ponta Preta:

Tuesday 8th December was the first day of Winter Angulo Wave Clinics.

Josh led the surf tour across the island and the first two days have given the guys great surf and SUP conditions at Little Ho’okipa on the West Coast.

With the swell continuing to pump, the rest of the clinic looks great.

Pictures speak a thousand words!

Rigging on the beach

The Winter 2009/2010 season is now under way at Angulo Cabo Verde. The 2010 kit is here, the wind has kicked in and the centre has been expanded to include much more space for equipment and bathroom block.

Our new Angulo Cabo Verde website is currently under construction and will be up shortly (watch this space!).

Sal offers fantastic conditions for all levels of windsurfing, surfing and SUP.   For more information or to book, please contact dawn@angulotravel.com

See you on the water!

We made it to the final of Riders Match, the online world contest for action videos. Check out Josh Angulo clip from 2009 PWA Cabo Verde World Cup and vote!

Can you guys beleive it? Two brothers ending their exciting careers as extreme WATER-SPORTSMAN at exactly the same time!!!

ANDREW ANGULO never stopped dazzelling spectators as he carved up the shorebreak, and “SKOOGIE-BOARDED” his way into the hearts of people worldwide. Also josh with his windboarding. When ANDREW ANGULO hit his 30’s fans everywhere expected him to soften his attack, but surprising everyone, he became known as “THE GLADIATOR OF THE SHOREBREAK” with his medival like slamming style!!! Well who would have known 2009 would bring an end to two legendary careers. ANDREW ANGULO never showing signs of slowing down or letting up, said it was time to hand the flaming torch to a young up-and-coming shorebreak master.

ANDREW ANGULO (a.k.a. THE GLADIATOR OF THE SHOREBREAK) is retiring after an unbelievable strong year, coming in 24th OVERALL!!! and scooping up 9th place at the “ANDY ANGULO OPEN”, held at Makena State Beach. He originally came in 10th, but after a stern protest, and a breif violent confrontation with a seventh grader he was bumped to 9th place. Also josh did good, coming in first in sail-surfing. BY NO MEANS DO WE WANT TO DIMMINISH THE CAREER OF josh, when we asked josh who inspired him the most, he simply replied “that’s easy my older brother ANDREW ANGULO a.k.a. “THE BLACK FALCON” the guy just comes out of nowhere and slams the lip so hard, it gives me chills just to watch him. Before my older bro ANDREW ANGULO took me under his wing, I was doing “big slow faggy wus-berger turns half way down the face of the wave. It was Andrew who really taught me about the cresting part of the wave called the “lip”, before that I really was on a downward spiral earning the nick-name “FIZZLER McGINSKY”. Also, other guys were calling me “HALF-TURN HANK”, …..”CHICKEN-JIBE JERRY”,..and oh yeah…I cant forget “TWO-PUMP PETER”. ANDREW ANGULO was instrumental in forming my career like a piece of slightly damp clay. When we were kids, I used to go to Makena with him, and just study him for hours. Just observing him carving thick slabs of ocean, and throwing frightening peacock tails, I was speechless! To tell you the truth, it was like watching a “ballarena dance on the ocean on the tips of glass slippers”. Well I would like to close by saying CONGRATULATIONS you two wonderful talented waterman, ANDREW ANGULO with your relentless “marine like attack” bombording and annialating shorebreaks around the world!!!!

And also josh with your…oh man!! seems we need a new ink cartridge. One more thing Andrew sends a big “WHAT WHAT” to all his fans, thanks for all the support…I love you all.     “THE GLADIATOR”
