Funniest thing I’ve ever seen – Andy A...
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”

Ponta Preta….. New Years
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
