Al parecer uno de los grandes vuelve a la actualidad. Mark Angulo quien tambien ha pasado por el infierno del alcohol, segun confiesa mas abajo, al igual que su hermano Josh ha dado un giro radical en su vida y esta decidido a tomar parte en algunas competiciones de nuevo. Seguro que el inventor del Gu Screw y otras maniobras volvera a dar de que hablar
Go for it Mark and best wishes

Mark Angulo is BACK!
After spotting him ripping at Hookipa a few weeks ago, we just had to ask him some questions!
Firstly WHY are you back windsurfing at Hookipa & what made you stop in the first place?
I stopped sailing at Hookipa for many years because I was in a battle for my life! My alcohol use had spiraled out of control after many years of abuse and I was unable to surf and sail at the level I wanted to and therefore was ashamed to be seen at the beach. I no longer enjoyed the good things God had put in my life and was on a one way mission to destroy it!
In late 2004 I entered a Christian Rehab Home called "My Brothers Keeper". I opened up my Bible after many years and began to ask My Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness and direction. After a very painful yet redeeming year of seeking the Lord I realized that I needed to live soberly and keep my life in order and be a good example to those who might inquire of me!
My life has turned around 200%! I now work alongside my father and brother making boards for all the fun things we love in the ocean. I have retuned to the ocean to continue my quest to become an all-round enjoyer of the sea! So that is the short version of why you will see me out at Hookipa and many other beaches around the world once again!
Will you enter the Hawaii Pro if it runs this autumn? And if so, on what kit?
I still haven’t decided whether I will compete again. My sailing has become so enjoyable for me lately that I’m not sure if competition is good for me. As for my equipment, I don’t have any sponsors so I’m at liberty to ride whatever I want…as long as it’s on an Angulo board!
Do you think you would still beat your kid brother in a competition heat at Hookipa?
Josh is a great competitor and it will always be hard for anyone to beat him in waves. His surfing background will always give him an edge. I would like to think that if it was man-on-man against Josh, he would be kind enough to give his older brother a break!!
