Waterman Series: Bobo Gallagher

Mini documentary for Fanatic

Fanatic is a historic water spots brand hailed as being one of the top of the class in terms of quality and performance of equipment across all the different water sports that they make products for. Naturally, Fanatic wanted to show this off by showcasing some of their amazing multi-sport talent that they have on their team. In water sports, a "Waterman" is someone who is advanced in several different categories of water sports. And for this project, I was given the opportunity to highlight Fanatic's youngest talent, Bobo Gallagher.
