Catch up with Globalshots’ athlete Max Rowe…
Despite being busy capturing some awesome shots out on Maui, Globalshots have found time to catch up with Team Rider Max Rowe. Fresh from a busy winter training in Brazil and South Africa, Max fills us in on his influences, claims to fame and his favourite non-windsurfing athletes…
Nickname: Wingnut
Howetown: Colchester, Essex, UK
Sponsors: Fanatic, North sails, ION, Club Vass and Globalshots
Sounds/Music: Pretty into the new Chilli Peppers album at the moment and a bit of Ed Sheeran.
Claim to fame: I was once on the UK TV show Snog, Marry, Avoid. Not as a contestant! But giving my opinion on how I’d rate these women!!!!
Influences: Andre Paskowski for his courage and hard work, Gollito, Tonky and Jay Haysey for his amazing one handed cut backs!
Favourite athlete outside of windsurfing: Would of said Travis Pastrana, but as Muzza said it in the previous interview, I’ll go with Shaun White.
