As a Tudor ambassador, Nic will be in Geneva during Watches and Wonders.

Nic began surfing as a young boy and received sponsoring deals by leading sports brands, such as Nike, Hurley, Quicksilver and Monster Energy, and more recently by the fashion brand Moncler and the Swiss watchmaker Tudor. 

A charismatic speaker, Nic is often invited for public speaking engagements to share insights into the mental preparation and mindset that allowed him to turn his childhood passion into a remarkable career. He will reveal how he manages fear, builds resilience, and prepares himself to face the biggest waves on the planet — often exceeding 20 meters in height.

A welcome drink is included in the ticket and 50% of the ticket sales will be donated to a charity that Nic has been supporting for a long time, Mary's Meals, which provides food to school children in the developing world.
