Max Metcalfe, our very own 2XS & Goya team rider has placed 2nd in the overall British wave sailing rankings in the Pro Men’s division!
With only two counting events this year, Max’s journey to the podium started in Cornwall back in February at the Cornish Coldwater Classic. The Pro Men’s division took to sailing at ‘The Bluff’ with big heavy waves breaking on the infamous sandbanks of Hayle’s river mouth. One of the highlights from the event was Max’s standout performance at his first Pro event, securing him 3rd place and causing some upset amongst the regular Pro riders.
The next event on the BWA calendar was the Tiree Wave Classic. Scoring some mega conditions alongside some of the world’s best sailors: Marc Paré & Philip Koster, the level was high. Max secured 8th place amongst the British Pro men’s fleet, ultimately, securing that 2nd place victory overall.
Whenever it’s windy Max is always out charging and quite often the last to leave the water. It’s safe to say he has put the hours in and this well deserved result is a testament to his hard work, skill & persaverance!
Well done Max!
