As so often, none of it was planned, but acting on an amazing forecast proved very rewarding…</p> Kauli: ‘Cape Verde has some great spots. I got two weeks of sick sailing there before the 2009 PWA event with nobody around but some locals and Josh Angulo. The best decision I ever made, as it gave me the opportunity to really test my quad boards to use in the event and sail some amazing waves at spots like Ponta Preta and Ali Baba. The funny thing of this trip was that it was not planned at all. I was going to come just one week before the event, and I was in the Caribbean with my friends on the Mormaii boat when I looked at the forecast for Cape Verde: there was a sick swell showing with strong winds. So on the same day I arrived home from the Caribbean I called to exchange my plane ticket and the next morning I left for Sal. A crazy night, packing all my board bags, sleeping maybe two hours. But anyway, I made it to the airport and when I was in Sao Paulo I decided to send an email to Brendan and invite him to come film for the video. I was not going to know if he was coming or not until I arrived in Cape Verde. When I arrived late at night I went straight to bed, and the next morning when I woke up I saw a note under my hotel door: “I’m here man, let’s go film.” I could not believe that Brendan made it there and actually found where I was!’)
