Nick has been working in the water sports industry for over 20 years and has had the privilege of working in some amazing locations, including Grease and Egypt. Nick grew up on the Isle of Wight, which is widely considered to be the home of sailing. Nick's passion started with sailing when he was 9 years old. This quickly led to more than a passion, and at the age of 16, Nick trained to become a Dinghy and windsurfing instructor at UKSA. As part of the course, he went to Australia to learn to windsurf. As you can imagine this was such an amazing opportunity at the age of just 16. Teaching within the watersports industry quickly became his desired profession.
Since then Nick has gone on to set up centres abroad. He worked as a lead watersports instructor at UKSA before moving to London. There he worked at Wimbledon Park Watersport Centre as the principal. Currently, he is working as the watersports manager at Ahoy. During his time at Ahoy, Nick has been involved in developing both the watersports programmes and further educational courses. He is heavily involved in the operational side of the charity and enjoys working alongside the RYA to enrich people's lives in the maritime industry.
“Sharing my love of watersports with others is why I do this. It made such a change to my life. I want to be able to give others the same chance I had growing up’’
