Battle of the paddle

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:36:44 +0000

The Angulo(GU) crew was represented with the latest SUP line at the Battle of the Paddle event in Oahu, Hawaii. The complete Angulo SUP line was available for everyone to try and lots of good feedback was recieved during these days. Legend Ed Angulo sent us an update on the event, here is what he had to say: “Just got back from a weekend on Oahu at The Battle of the Paddle. Great event with an assortment of races for all ages and abilities. I even raced in the Open, and was happy to have finished. Our complete SUP lineup was available for all to Demo and the response was terrific. Gave some beginner lessons and had people say that their time paddling was the highlight of their vacation.The pictures are of my wife Patty (mother of the champion watermen Mark and Josh and champion electrician Andy). That’s Mark and his wife Elena (who is a Hookipa rippah herself) and me in our booth at the event. Looking forward to participating at the next event which will be in October at Dana Point California.”

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:

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:

The Angulo Wave Clinics Commence!

emile — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:56:28 +0000

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!

Funniest thing I’ve ever seen – Andy Angulo also retires

Josh Angulo — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:18:51 +0000

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”

In the gap

Ponta Preta….. New Years

Josh Angulo — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:00:24 +0000

Well, the new years entered and 2008 has sealed its fate… I could go on and on abouty what a great year blah blah blah and how psyched we are for 2009 , blah blah blah. which is true. However, this year on the 31st of Deecember a solid 6-8 foot swell cranked right through the 1st of Jan, So that whole time of “end of the year reflection” literally got washed away by by perfect waves… I had previously had a couple smaller sessions under my belt this season, but that was the first real Ponta Preta this year. The morning sessions were the best… I had the 31st all alone for 2 hours in the morning. More waves than I knew what to do with and then on the 1st had it with 3 other windsurfers, Jean-Sebastian, Tulip ( the planet station guy), and Sidney, one of the local kids who was getting his first ever Ponta Preta session under the belt. That morning sesion was absoutely perfect and the afternoon, all though a little less perfect was windier and had tons of waves… Ponta Preta , it really is the best wavesailing spot in the world!

Stay tuned
