In Fanatic International's latest episode of their Waterman Series, up-and-comer Bobo Gallagher is highlighted. Bobo first came onto our radar when he was just 8-years-old after he completed the Olukai race in grueling conditions. Now, at 12 years of age, Maui’s Bobo Gallagher is one of the youngest Watermen on the Island, with a strength and focus far ahead of his age. Bobo is already an accomplished SUP racer, having done countless downwinders off the coast of Maui, he is a top Wing Foiler and SUP Foiler and recently became the first person (while he was still 11yrs old) to cross the dangerous Alenuihaha Channel in Hawaii. He is also a keen Surfer and Kitesurfer, an "Allround Waterman". Bobo’s goals are to participate in Foiling, SUP Racing and SUP Surfing competitions and he is training every day for it (whilst still attending school obviously!). Rumors are Bobo could be Maui’s next famous Waterman, stay tuned!
