Capt Aj Watson's Profile ...
Qualifications: Level 2 IKO instructor and school owner operator.
Experience: 9 years kiteboarding.
Age: 36 years old.
Family: Married with 3 kids ( who would have thought! )
Hometown: Melbourne Australia, born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tabago.
Where I live, ride and teach: Nassau Bahamas and the islands of the Bahamas.
Worst thing that ever happened to me kiteboarding: Getting Tea bagged on some rocks..I lost a lot of blood and ego that day and was truly humbled by nature. and it made me take a step back and look at what was and is important to me. I have a gnarley scar on my forehead to remind me to be humble.
Favorite trick: Massive kite loops and S bends... big waves and to ride with my friends and push each other.
Things I do other than kiteboarding and teach kiteboarding: Art..music..and chasing my kids around and building my house. Whilst trying to answer the phone check the weather reports and email..(mad skills at multi tasking) and spend some time with my trouble and strife (wife).
My goals: To spread the scope of kiteboarding to as many people as possible. And hopefully when I'm too old and injured to ride or teach, my kids will take over the school, and have as much fun & stress as I have had through out the years. Also to be as ethically balanced as possible when it comes to biz, life and my use of the environment.
Religious Views: Christian ( but a gnarley one! ).
Political views: None at the moment.
Best thing that has ever happened to me: Leaving Australia to go walkabout. Getting lost and finding myself...
