Josh Angulo grew up on the North shore of Oahu under the watchful eyes of his two older brothers, Mark and Andy. As far back as Josh can remember all the boys were riding surfboards shaped by their dad, Ed, at their local break Rocky Point. Ed had been building surfboards since high school and was an avid surfer himself.

Surfing was all Josh knew until he was around six and he noticed his Dad and his older brother Mark taking up windsurfing down the street from their house at “Backyards”. Ed quickly embraced his growing passion for the sport by jumping full force into making sailboards.  All the while, Mark was quickly becoming the hottest new commodity on the pro windsurf scene.

By the mid-80s the family decided to pack it up and head to Maui where Josh got hooked on windsurfing at the age of ten. By fifteen, Josh signed his first professional contracts and had his first professional win under his belt at the age of seventeen.

An illustrious career marked by big wave feats, discovery of new spots, and consistent results in the upper echelon of sport, Josh Angulo has become a household name in the watersport market. His strong language skills, electric personality and easy-going style coupled with an intense work ethic for competitive results, editorial output and R&D effort have made Josh a go-to guy for brands in all industries.

Married to the love of his youth, Claudia, with daughter Danielle, and son, Noah. Josh has become more and more connected to his adopted country, Cabo Verde, where he was integral in bringing home the Windsurf World Championships since 2007. Josh’s keen business sense combined with his sporting achievements, has him strategically placed as one of Cabo Verde’s main ambassadors.
