Windsurfing 1986

Okay not foil or wing. Old fashioned windsurfing from the 80s:

What a blast from the past! Thanks. Right in the middle of my decade in Hawaii. Haven't windsurfed in twenty years but the stoke lives on in my foiling now. Aloha

Great vid.. Great memories.. Thanks

Oy, that beginning looks like the streets of Portland. Put some windsurfing gear outside the tents and it suddenly becomes a lot less depressing

I think one of those gals was Lorraine Carlstrom?

And with all the generic 80s background music cheesiness to boot.

I had to look up US-18:  Mark Angulo

In that video he was the only one that was keeping up with Robbie Naish.  Back in the day Mark Angulo was a big player at Hookipa.

His younger brother Josh seemed to take the ball and run with it later.  I am not sure what happened to Mark??

I am not sure what happened to Mark??

I asked Josh, but can't remember now. Old age. Josh moved to Florida for about a year. Rode with him here. Ed moved here too. Ed might still be here. Josh moved to Portugal.

I am not sure what happened to Mark??

For a long time he was shaping boards and I think owned his own shop. Not sure if that's still the case.

I just looked Mark Angulo up on Facebook. 

It appears that he is into cats, astrophotography and pogo sticks.

Mark is living in South Carolina. Josh lives in Cape Verde but the spent the last two summers here in Rhode Island. His son Noah came with him this summer to work and wing raced with us in the Bristol YC foil racing series. He is 18 years old and is a really great young man. We really enjoyed getting to know him. His parents raised him well. Josh was pit crew for the racing. He provided lots of insight with his years of racing experience. And we couldn't get away with anything if he was watching. Noah got second in the series behind me. Had there been a couple more days of racing he likely would have passed me. I hope they come back next summer.
