across Europe, and when Deathbox ships him over to the US, these waves will certainly come over with him. In 1994, Rowley moved to Huntington Beach, California, United States with fellow Flip team riders, Tom Penny, Rune Glifberg and Andy Scott. In 2012, Rowley reflected upon the company's move to the US: We were a totally new company moving to a foreign country, and, ah, I don't we kind of expected it to go "boom", and just fly right in.
