Kevin,

I just like to comment this:
""I was really bummed that he would do it like that but I guess since it is his contest that he thinks he had the right to do it. Just goes to show ones true character. I was really pisssed off becuase I know I could have sailed better and that wave might have had be get into the right rythm..""

Man you are a competitor, and so am I. I was not a Ponta Preta and did not see what happened.
And I understand your frustration.

But let me tell you this...
I kinda think that regarding the environment, if we would have just change each one position (ie josh and you)... you would probably have done the same.
Why? because each one of you want to win and that's why both of you have been world champions.

That's my opinion. I am in Missouri right now (which means no windsurf since last August).
And I am just s

Congrats Kevin for your great result. Amazing aerial !!!!!! awesome

Wow, unbelievable sailing in outrageous conditions! Looks like you sailed well. Too bad about the bad blood with Josh Angulo. I hope you guys can make peace. If not, maybe the grudge will help motivate you in your next windsurfing match-up.

kevin i am curious , i kinda get the implication of ""snaked"" but what does that mean?? did he drop in on the wave you were already riding ?? you have to excuse me, but i dont understand the particualrs . BUT congrads!!..
top competitors can be cut throat, but at your or any level for that matter level there is always karma and payback, what comes round goes round.
i also got the inference from the media PWA that it it was his contest, i may sound impartial as i am posting to your blog but i dont go for the ""he's the local its HIS venue shit...""
was he born in cabo??

Kevin,
I really don't like Josh angulo. I emailed him about his boards possibly offending those who aren't religoius or christian (they say ""jesus loves you"" on them), and this is the email I got back. It is from ED ANGULO, but my friends were still all shocked by it. It doesn't surprise me that his uncompromising, selfish style would also show in his surfing. I guess jesus only loves Josh. Here is the email copied:


""Dear Sir,

I sincerely want to express my sorrow about your misinterpretation of our goals and desires regarding our products and expression of our faith.
First of all and most importantly we are NOT into religion.

We have a relationship with the Creator of all things through the risen Lord Jesus Christ.

We choose to put what we believe to be the most important message in all of history on the bottom of the boards th

Great photo!!!! I didn't really see a good reason why someone would post like Eurosteve did. In addition I don't know why anyone would imply that Angulo board's graphics might offend anyone. Ed was right. If you don't like to see the graphics on your board, you can take care of it yourself.

Well Josh and I are both compteitors. I like telling it how it is when i write in the blog. It is all good with us. He was sailing amazing at punta preta. Hope it doesnt really go any further than that.
