BOARDS magazine editor Bill Dawes sent us this excerpt for all PWA readers to get another flavour and viewpoint on the event as written by the mag’s team of writers, who all stood dumbfounded in the Ponta Preta dustbowl, just yards from the action.
PWA Wave World Cup Cabo Verde: Josh Angulo takes it all!
[Monday 26. of February 2007]
Josh Angulo, the local hero takes home the first trophy from the brand new tour stop Punta Preta on Sal/Cabo Verde Islands. Kick-starting the 2007 season, Sal received 32 of the most rewarded wavesailors to show off at one of the world's most superb wave spots.
Perfect eight to ten foot waves rolled through the point break, and fifteen knots of wind made for the best competition conditions the PWA has ever seen: starboard tack down the line waveriding, in hollow powerful surf.
The top pros battled it out for $35,000 and precious World Tour points.
Despite the holding period still being open until March 4, the event is closed by now: The double elimination and super session are already completed, leaving the riders free to enjoy the superb sailing all over the Island of Sal!
Making it to the finals were Australia's Jason Polakow, Maui's Kevin Pritchard, the current PWA Wave World Champion, Cabo Verde recent transplant Josh Angulo, and Brazil's Kauli Seadi.
In the outstanding conditions, the local boy, Josh Angulo, powered his way into first place. With impeccable timing from knowing the break so well, Angulo ripped to pieces every part of the wave to come up with the title.
In second is Kauli Seadi, who had won the first elimination and was laying some beautiful turns carving right in the pocket. Nevertheless, Kauli Seadi who was on a 4 squaremeter sail, went down against Angulo in the very final heat, who was going big on a 5.8 sail!
Kevin Pritchard took third place with his massive aerial attack, and Jason Polokow rounded out the top four with his power sailing arsenal.
"I am super happy to win this event. My friends and family were here to watch me take the victory. I could hear the beach cheering me on after every hit on the wave, it was really cool" says Josh Angulo.
Kevin Pritchard: "The level of sailing here was just incredible! It was cool to be part of this event with such amazing conditions. ... I was happy to get third place and it is a good start in defending my world title again this year!".
Becoming fifth after a great run up the ladders in the second elimination, Jason Polakow says: "I think I trashed 5 or 6 entire rigs on the rocks today!" Hollow waves and a horrendous shorebreak had made this competition fierce, even for the most experienced Australian.
Many beachgoers were treated to the sight of windsurfing’s highest profile names tearing the lengthy set waves apart. Rarely has the action be seen as close-up as these sandy beaches near Santa Maria allow, with world-class displays performed right under the judges and spectators noses.

THE RIGHT STUFF OF A SMARTER WINDSURFER'S GENERATION AND FOR YOUR UNLIMITED WINDSURFING EXPERIENCE IS:
If you could have one board that had:
the quick planning and ease of freeride,
the high end speed of a slalom design,
the all around maneuvrability of a super-x board,
and yet the carve and spontanaity of a hard core wave board,
what would you call it?
That is the exact dilema we were faced with and so because we feel this is the best custom made quality production board we have developed to date, we are proud to present the SuperGU.
SuperGU is SuperGOOD!!!
SuperGU 92 [ 247 x 60 | 92lt ]
SuperGU 102 [ 251 x 61 | 102 lt]
SuperGU 112 [ 255 x 64,5 | 112 lt]
Were not meaning to brag, but just stating our fact and we think you'll agree that this new WorldRide is SuperGOOD.
All the Angulo boards produced in the Angulo's factory using
only hi-tech custom sandwich technology.
We are proud that windsurfers will enjoy with our Angulo boards many years of unlimited windsurfing experience worldwide!

For the Angulo's it started in the early glory days of surfing some 40 years ago.
When Ed Angulo, a former hotdog vendor at Dodger stadium with a passion for baseball, rode his first wave and shaped his first board in 1968 it was the beginning of a new life.
He was as inspired a board shaper as he was a surfer, combining surfing
skills with craftsman's hands and an aesthetic eye.
It didn'y take long for others to discover the hardcore quality of the stylishy airbrushed Angulo surfboards and after some years all the big surfers and windsurfers names wanted to ride an Angulo surfing or windsurfing board.
The perfect place for the Angulo kids to develop their interests and raw talent was the surfing and windsurfing Mecca of the world... Hawaii.
So Ed pushed four(4) year old Mark Angulo into his first wave. The little guy could barely swim.
However progressive the nature of Ed as a shaper and surfer, it was unmatched to that of his children.
Mark Angulo soon established a solid reputation as one of the next generation big wave surfers and windsurfers. Driven, fearless and unstoppadle, he was only fifteen(15) when his terrified mum watched her infant ride and survive the monsterous waves on a big day at Jaws.
The Angulo's influenced the world of wave windsurfing sailing
and the success of Ed's shapes and the kid's actions made Angulo one of the leading names in the sport worldwide.
Their talent and guts were evident: The King of Aerobatics, as Mark Angulo was also called, pushed the wave windsurfing sailing world to a whole new level. Mark was the inventor of many impossible moves and became an inspiration for many windsurfers worldwide.
Little brother Josh Angulo, repulsed by that kooks sport at first, made his entrance in professional windsurfing at age twelve(12).
With a father like Ed and brother like Mark, comparable talents Josh was a shooting star before even starting hs career.
Today Josh Angulo is one of the best windsurfers worldwide:
