Next Generation

Now I can imagine the pride and happiness my dad felt when he saw me catching my first wave. I’m now the proud dad of a third generation ripper, Noah Angulo.

Met Tulpe

Hi Everybody,
My name is Tulpe Born and I have been a windsurf instructor for over 15 years and greatfully last winter I started to recieve support from Josh with equipment. I have just spent yet another fantastic winter season on Sal/ Cabo Verde where I was working in a windsurf center alongside the Angulo center. Although the centre I work in promotes different brands to Angulo, I can usually be found with a Chango under my feet. Josh asked me several times to write on this Blog about why I love to ride Angulo boards so much but up until now I have not got around to doing it, as riding them is far more fun than sitting on a computer and writing about it (especially when any of the numerous wavespots on Sal is going off). But now that the dust is settling on yet another fabulous winterseason and I find myself twidling my thumbs back home in Germany whilst I wait for the highseason to start in Greece I seem to be daydreaming more and more about my babies (boards) and thought I would take this opportunity to put some words together.

Why do I use Angulo-Boards? For the simple reason that they make me ride a lot better. The Changos turn so well and help my waveriding a great deal. The board let’s me do what I have in mind and I am not restricted by my equipment. Wide or tight turns, the Chango doesn’t mind, it just carries the speed through any turn. What I do with the next wave is up to me and not the board’s specs. I am not a boardtester from a magazine but I can certainly tell when a board feels good and when it doesn’t. Well, my Changos feel great and they rock and they made me a better sailor. And to me that’s what matters…
See you on C.V.

Center Managers

Hi guys heres some shots of Davide , one of our center managers ( he’s on the challenger sail) and Mathieu ( Maui Sails), the UCPA manager, who is one of our right hand guys here in Cabo Verde. Its good to see the boys getting some much needed waves despite their heavy workload. I guess thats one of the benefits of working in CV……
Keep ripping fellows !

Big day in the shorebreak

Since the world cup finished , first the waves disappeared, then the wind slowly backed off until now we have been in a 2 week glassy spell that I’ve never seen here in the winter, so we went from our windiest, waviest winter ever to basically nothing. It was a welcome break for a couple days but seeing all the clients here with no wind makes me hope the wind will come back soon, so in trying to keep our spirits high. Tania decided to pull out some archive footage from Jan. This is in our shorebreak that is usually only about 10 cm, but every now and then turns on for some fun action.

Aloha,
Josh
