LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Josh: “The Hercules swell rolled around right as I had my family travels set to leave Cabo Verde after the winter school break and get my son, Noah, back into school. Upon getting a couple quick e-mails from Kevin and Kai that they were incoming, I started getting that all too familiar feeling of being the “forever surf grom”. This is a feeling that I can’t shake no matter how many years I’ve been riding waves. The stoke of knowing that there’s gonna be waves and you’re gonna score with some friends. As simple as it sounds, after so many years it’s still such a strong driving force in my life and lives of those around me. With this growing feeling of excitement, my wife was in agreement that we should stay a few more days for the swell and I had no trouble convincing Noah to miss a few more days of school in snowy Boston. So it was on …
When the boys showed up, the reality was we just had a lot of fun. Yes, we’re spoiled. Yes, we have one of the best lifestyles one could ask for. Many of the afternoons after scoring perfect waves we’d kick back at the Angulo Beach Club and recount many of the stories of life on tour, old rivalries, old party stories etc. For me it was basically a week of a couple of the ‘good ‘ol boys’ getting together to share perfect waves. The funny thing is, I see rental clients of ours coming from Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, the UK, Portugal, France and all over Europe – and they are doing the same thing we do.Friends getting together to enjoy good time on the water and good vibes on the land. Who could ask for more?
