RESEARCH - DEVELOPMENT AND
SHAPING EXPERIENCE SINCE 1968
The time has come..... A new generation, A new era, a new start...... call it what you will. "a" Boy has become "A" man... The new generation "A" logo coincides with the new release of our 2009/2010 range as well as a tight knit team which will take Angulo into the future and beyond. But before I get there, let me back up a little and reintroduce the history behind the big moves and the big name.
My dad, Ed Angulo, started shaping boards well over 40 years ago. He's shaped every type of board under the moon, influenced countless technologies and designs that are a mainstay in today's market. He, in the early 80's had the biggest custom board turnover in the world with factories on Oahu, Maui and California, all working overtime to satisfy the desire, people worldwide, had to own an Angulo Windsurf Board. My dad's shaped boards for all the top pro's since the very beginning, but none of them inspired his shapes as much as my oldest brother, Mark. Mark Angulo has been and still is to this day (ask any top sailor) the most innovative wave rider in the world. His trade mark moves of Big 360's, tweaked backloops, one handed forwards set the pace in the 80's and still in 2009, he is the only human in the world to successfully complete a "mutant".... basically a combination of an aerial 360, goiter and loop all mixed into one move while flying 30 feet above a barreling Hawaiian reef wave... sounds simple enough. Myself, I was born into the sea and raised on the beautiful shores of Oahu, surfing and playing in the shore break. By the time I was 10, my parents packed up the family and all our surfing knowledge and experience to go live in Maui and start attacking the World's windsurf frontier. As I was raised in one of the best windsurf spots in the world, riding the best boards possible. I advanced quickly through the ranks, into a pro career, championship titles, World title and earned the respect and status as one of the best windsurfers in the world.. It's been a great ride thus far.
By the end of the 90's the worlds custom board demand was thinning and the production board demand was increasing. A small factory in Thailand named Cobra was slowly gaining fame as a production factory that was making boards as good as custom boards. Although, we were a bit skeptical at the time, by the early 2000's we started our first production boards. Right from the beginning, my dad's perfect shapes and Angulos stylish graphics were a hit. We started selling boards worldwide and we were quite excited about this new style of business ... "production boards". From around 2002-2008, we experienced many ups and downs in our production business. This whole business of building overseas, shipping worldwide, marketing, warranties, distributors, board tests, margins, discounts, closeouts, selling seasons and many other factors that turned our " windsurfing " business, basically into a logistical business had us a bit confused and at times frustrated. I was living in Cabo Verde, my dad and brother in Hawaii. I was traveling on the world tour, with one type of frame of mind, my brother was sailing Ho'okipa with another type of thoughts and my dad was on the golf course, chasing birdies, so some of the already difficult tasks in running a production business became even more difficult.
One of the biggest blessings about my family, is our ability to sit down and talk together. In summer of 2008, we sat at the round table in Spreckelsville, Maui and passed around different ideas. It became clear that certain areas in our business were spread thin and due to the differing interests, we even felt that the business was at risk. In typical " wise man" fashion my dad decided it was time to pass me the family crest. Together my dad and Mark decided to entrust me with the growth and maintenance of the Angulo windsurfboards and image worldwide. Mark decided to pursue wholeheartedly his desire of building some of the best prototypes possible and push them to their limits at Ho'okipa. He remains as one of the driving forces behind our r and d program as well as our number one "bad ronald" at Ho'okipa. My dad is currently pursuing his PGA pro license, which will enable him to play and teach (his desire) at professional level as well as continuing to be a forefront designer in windsurf, surf and SUP. Ed remains our number one design guru and his lifetime of experience is the foundation of which the big "A" is built upon.
Fast forward to today. December 2008. The Big "A" is released! Angulo has brought into its fold a 3rd designer, in the name of Jean Bouldoires. One of the most unique artists in the planet. Jean's design knowledge and construction experience is second to none in the industry. As designer of our new Magnum slalom line and co-designer of all the other boards in our line, his precise Swiss mentality has been a welcome compliment to our groovy island ways. The other big compliment to the big "A" is Bogo... freaky, design man out of Poland. Bogo is currently being groomed and manicured to step into an ever more hands on position in the day to day running of Angulo. His hard work ethic, insane taste in art, and huge passion for windsurfing makes Bogo one the keys to our success. The new boards are rockin! our logistics are spot on! we got you, our customer, as the main focus of our tuning and retuning, to make sure you have a piece of windsurf history and future under your feet every time you hit the water.
So it's with pride, humility, and love for my family and our sport that I present you Angulo.... come hang out with us!
Thank You,
Josh Angulo

Chango
Our new Chango is based off of our proven shapes of the past, yet we have stepped it up a notch bringing in a slight winger, a freed up fish tail and a slightly shorter shape in order to keep up with the fast moving pace of the new age wavesailor. Wether you are a weekend warrior or an aspiring Champ the Chango is the proven tool to get you to your maximum.
Angulo Creola:
http://anguloboards.com/products_creola.php
Creola
The new sweetheart of the group is our Creola... This cultural inspiration came from the mixed beauty found in the deepest parts of Creole Country... The mixed elements of freestyle, wave and easy performance in the Creola can only be described when ridden. This is a must try for sailors in all parts of the world. This early planing, sure carving beauty is sure to win your heart over. For girls, your new best friend. For men, a girlfriend that can't get you in trouble.
Angulo Magnum:
http://anguloboards.com/products_magnum.php
Magnum
Jean's Bouldoires design knowledge and construction experience is second to none in the industry.
After one season back doing the PWA slalom, we have been able to do some intense R&D and have come up with some amazing prototypes... We are extremely proud to introduce for 2009 the solid racing machines that will catapult that Angulo brand into the upper echelon of racing for many years to come.
Our limited edition full Carbon CNC construction and shape will be precise to the millimeter due to each board being produced by 3D copy on CNC. Our exclusive RTA (reduced tail area) and RNA (reduced nose area) designs allow these boards to reach maximum speed without compromising the easy planing features that comes from our width outline groove that is unmatched by any. Our unique cutouts on the tail (RTA) allow for the wider boards to sit even and steady in the water and the board never maxes out, you can always push harder! The combo, of outline, rocker, width, rolly rails with RTA and RNA makes these boards the easiest jibing boards on the market. Our exclusive range which covers all sailor and wind ranges comes in 250 x 59, 250 x 72, and 250 x 83. The wider boards with the RTA gives such a huge range it's unbelievable.
These limited edition boards are sure to be the board that takes the world by surprise in 2009.
Angulo Sumo:

Sumo
Our Sumo has maintained it's user friendly shape that we all love and have become accustomed to and we have adorned it with our greatest Sumo graphic to date. Our easy riding Sumo has been a favorite for many years and will continue to blow peoples mind with its ease of jibing transition, clean ride through choppy conditions and its performance curve that increase together with your own personal level… A proven ride worldwide.
Angulo SuperGu:
http://anguloboards.com/products_supergu.php
SuperGu
The Super-Gu’s back with a tricked out diamond tail allowing for increased back foot pressure to give an even earlier planing sensation to compliment the Super-Gu’s huge range of freeride fun. One of the most versatile boards in our freeride range. The Super-Gu is a fast board, with a controlled jibing and an excellent response in and out of chop and small wave conditions. The fluent ride of the Super-Gu will certainly take everybody to the next level of freeride style.
Angulo Victory:
http://anguloboards.com/products_victory.php
Victory
The winning spirit of our new Victory gains its name from the feeling achieved upon arriving to the beach when the wind is blowing and the waves are up. Wether passing over a personal hurdle in life or completing your first solid cutback the victory that we can all achieve is one that deserves a acknowledgment… At Angulo we decided to pay special tribute to all of yours and our Victory’s by creating the new master of fun. This double wingered, double squash, double fin jackrabbit we like to call Victory. Wether riding front or back, up the lip or down the lip. Our Victory will surely be the punk mainstay taking sailing to a new level. In Angulo’s 40 years of leading edge design we once again raise the bar with our 3 board Victory line… Congratulations to you on choosing Victory for your life!
