THE MAX FACTOR WINS
Southern Courier, September16th 2008

By Joshua Levy

At the age of only 16, Max Ayshford is on the verge of becoming the next big thing in surfing and this week, he is the Southern Courier’s Junior Sport Star nominee.

The young Matraville resident won entry into the Quicksilver Pro, which is being contested in France this week, by winning the under-16 Australian title last year.

“This is going to be one of my biggest contests,” Ayshford said before he left Sydney.

“It could change my life because it’s only the top 16 juniors in the world and so they’ll be different sponsors and stuff like that.”

Ayshford took up surfing at the age of 10 but said he just did it for fun until a few years ago.

“I just loved being at Maroubra Beach. I was just mucking around and then I started doing a couple of contests and I was going alright, so I started taking it more seriously.”

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, when competing at the state titles several weeks ago he split his head open on a 6-foot wave in the semifinal, but continued surfing.
Now he’s back and ready to take on the world.

“I’m excited for this. When I get back to Australia I’m just going to spend a lot of time on the beach, and then at the end of the year I’m going to Hawaii on a surfing holiday.”

The Southern Courier’s Junior Sport Star Award is sponsored by Pacific Square Shopping Centre in Maroubra.
