The Poshest Sport On Earth? | StreetSmart

Come see me on my UK Stand Up Tour 2021: www.maxfosh.co/
I went to the Henley Royal Regatta to talk about rowing, the only sport in the world where the competitors face backwards.
Thank you so much to Cameron Buchan for taking some time out and having a chat. Definitely go and check him out on all the socials.

Just rowed at Henley the other day, somehow managed to win a race. Bedford modern vs Borlase, I was in 5 seat (4th back from the front man) if you want to check it out. I think rowing is definitely a sport that you have to have experience in to fully appreciate, but Henley is most definitely not boring. It’s very relaxing during the day and you get to party and have fun as it draws to a close. I didn’t even know what rowing was until I was in year 9 due to previously going to a state school but I’ve loved it ever since

in the UK it seems to be a lot more posh than here in the netherlands. dont worry we get enough posh ones too, but we also get complete oposites. we wear suits, we wear ties, but they are def not the posh kinds. Think large beer stains, seams torn at the arms, missing buttons, split pants, and jackets that have likely never been cleaned let alone been to a dry cleaner (a lot of the student rowing clubs dont even allow you to wash them, so its not uncommon for them to have mold in them0. just to get the idea, searth "Varsity Netherlands," the oldest rowing (and sports in general) competition in the netherlands. you will find photos of a few rowers, men and women in nothing but their underwear and ties ready to swim towards their clubs winning boat, fields of stapeded and thrown beer cups, people throwing lumps of grass and clay, and on top of all of that you will spot a few fighting in our own style of wrestling. Quite a few in that crowd are posh kids let loose, but there are plenty who are just regular kids. if you send a kid from the henley to there i think they would get an heart attack.
