no. 42. October 2008

Maui, Hawaiian Islands

Beautiful month at home October has been another beautiful month. At home in Cabo Verde we have had an early start to the winter with the trade winds kicking in real early. October, historically, is a ‘work to the max’ month for me when we are getting our windsurf center opened for the winter. This year has been quite intense, as we have rebuilt our whole center, adding a bigger snack bar service area, a bigger office, small surf shop, big shaded area with lots of chairs and tables and a bigger area for boards. On top of that, we are opening a new store in the Ba Vista International airport. Flying over there tomorrow to put the finishing touches, we have doubled our wholesale due to the opening of new hotels in our islands and a bigger demand for the Quiksilver/ Roxy Destination t’s that we sell. Amongst all that, I found some time to test some new slalom boards , which we may or may not put into production. We are still weighing the economic feasibility. The boards were sick though! I also tested a new freestylewave type of line which we will introduce... One of the easiest boards I’ve ever ridden, should be a big hit this spring when released. My wife is kicking my butt to get in shape for slalom next year and I even did a Claudia Schiffer Pilates tape with her, and my butt is real sore. Today, I’m trying to finish the loose ends of a three year quest to get a water line into my center. Looks like we’re finaly getting it. I’ll be all these days at the beach, getting it all tuned up. Getting the clients on the water and looking forward to my managers arriving November 1st. Aloha, Josh Angulo CV-1 www.mauisails.com | 0
