Nick is our resident "Jack of all Trades". You may have seen him barefooting around the islands, flying off the ski jump, riding the rails, skiing the bouys, or just plain killing it with old school moves like "Air Rolls", or HUUUGE tantrums off the double ups. Nick has been coaching for us since he was 16...we're not going to tell you how long that is; you'll have to ask him how old he is yourself. But don't get your hopes up ladies, Nick is currently spoken for!
