Josh Angulo grew up on the North shore of Oahu under the watchful eyes of his 2 older brothers Mark and Andy. As far back as Josh can remember, all the boys where 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 6 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 10. By 15 Josh signed his first professional contracts and had his first professional win under his belt at the age of 17.
In the two years that followed, faced with constant world-wide travel, large financial contracts and the illusion of being famous, Josh succumbed to many temptations and found himself in a point of despair.
Through support of his family, his faith in Jesus Christ, and God`s Grace, Josh was able to start his life anew. Skip forward to the year 2000 where a new, recharged, and sober Josh Angulo steps back into the ranks of competition and seals 2nd place in the world waveriding ranking.
The year is now 2001 and Josh has married his long time love Claudia and is enjoying being a father for his beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter Danielle. Josh has solid support from his sponsors RRD,Ezzy, Billabong, Powerex, Streamlined, Northshore Fins, Da kine and Reef Brazil. He is full bore on his campaign for the world title in 2001 . Josh is also trying to break into the business world with his new line of wave fins and t-shirts. You can be sure youll be seeing a lot more of this guy.
