Growing up as two brothers we started with skateboarding, building ramps after school.
Then it was motocross, making our own track in the woods closed to where we lived.
With our dad we build a pair of skimboards like the one we saw in magazines for summer holidays.
We were naturally attracted by windsurfing which became an obsession.
That obsession led G to the French Tour, Bercy Indoor and later on to work for Neilpryde in Asia!
Our heroes were Robby Naish, Mike Eskimo, Rush Randle, and Mark Angulo.
Decades later, we launched our custom motorcycle business, Angry Lane, and it brought us face-to-face with legends like Steve Caballero, Max Schaaf and Paul Van Doren during shows in Japan.
In 2021 we started to hunt old custom windsurfing boards made on Maui, boards that made us dream as kids, and we got lucky… a few Hi-Tech, Naish, Swell Expression and of course Angulo!
A few conversations later
We struck up few conversations with Mark Angulo about the boards and how much we were fans of the brand, and together we decided to breathe new life into the pioneering Angulo label created by his father, Ed.
