Angulo Wave Clinic Day 3
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: 12th-17th January 2010
Clinic 3: 26th-31st January 2010
Clinic 4: 2nd-7th 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:

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 !
