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.

Check out the photos of some of today’s action.

Happy New Year

Angulo Wave Clinic Day 3

emile — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:59:55 +0000

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:

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!

Here’s some photos of some downtime in between the Austria and Korea event. If you look closely you will see windsurf legend Bjorn Schrader, and Andy Laufer , also present are multi-entrepeneurs Christian Grosse and Peter Stengel. We had an awesome group of the female sort with Queen Claudia headlining. We had an awesome time BBq’ing and hanging out at Christian’s pad at. In the paddleboard race it was peter that deftly kicked my butt. It was one of the prettiest days I’ve ever seen in Europe and their was a magical group of personalities that made the day ultra-special… Thanks you guys ! and Thanks Christian for making sure the bbq was turning out lots of grinds!

Howzit everybody,

Here’s a quick video about time in the gap. Currently between projects, I wanted to send out a quick thank you and a small dose of reflection. Tania does such a good job with these things that I like to have these little videos sometimes . Check it out.

Aloha, Josh

What SUP in Cabo Verde

Josh Angulo — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 11:17:00 +0000

Well, first of all, I figured out how to add a new post. I’m young enough where I really should be better at computers but just old enough where I was right before that generation that had access to computers since a very young age. Well, what I lack in natural skill, I’ll have to make up in hard work….. speaking of hard work. Riding an 11′ board on 8 foot waves is not the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I wouldn’t exactly call it hard work, because it sure is a lot of fun and adrenaline. Yesterday , Sat. 27. I woke up early , loaded my windsurf gear and the 10′10″ Angulo Sup and headed to Ponta Preta. I thought the swell was gonne be small with a little wind, but instead it was glassy and big. I supped out there in some perfect waves with one other guy out for about an hour and decided to catch a big left on the next peak over ( should have my buddy Pascal dropping me a photo by here later. I’ll get that on at some point) and after that conquest was realized with no injury, I decided to give windsurfing a shot. The wind ended up dropping from 8 kts side off ( which is still doable) to about 3-4 kts straight offshore( not doable) right as I got out to the peak. The high tide conditions quickly pushed me way out to sea and I tacked back and forth losing ground for about an hour. I finally decided to try some biblical techniques and commanded the wind to blow ” in the name of Jesus”, and funny enough the wind picked up just enough to give me a good run straight in to the Riu hotel ( 1/2 mile downwind).. after that 1.5 hr. workout with not one wave ridden, I headed home for breakfast, reflecting on my 11 years of sessions in Ponta Preta, that’s the first one without riding even one wave. I’ve had sessions where I only catch one and go straight to the rocks, but not getting even one wave was a first. The worst part was being just beyond the peak and watching dozens of perfect barreling waves break perfectly down the point with only one guy out and I was bobbing out the back like a real “windkook”….. all that was to be quickly forgotten when in the afternoon session I arrived to the circus at the beach… surfers, body boarders, one kiter, one Supper. Fortunately for me as soon as I got out on the smaller 10′2″ Angulo Sup, basically everybody went in at once except the other Supper Mikael on his little 7′7″ Bong . The previously cloudy afternoon got split open by a burning orange ball dropping into the sea. Mikael and I basked in the moment as there was more waves then we knew what to do with ( video update coming soon). Endless, perfect A-frames stacked to the horizon and reeling down the line, with our only other company being the light off-shores and oil-glassy patches that warmed our spirits even more. Ride after ride, wave after wave…. I truly was in Paradise. As the day came to a close and we rode our last waves the length of the point and docked on the shores, the final hoots from the peanut gallery toned as the closing whistle at the days end, signaling what would be an even bigger highlight……. wife and kids.
