Crest First Tuesdays - Nick Hounsfield

It has to be the coolest moniker in surfing – Wavemaker. Nick Hounsfield is best known for being the person who brought surf stoke to the inland flats of northern Bristol. In one of The Wave's fabulous glamping pods, Tom and Emily caught up with the man who took the place from inception to conception. What made Nick one day wake up and decide he wanted to undertake such an ambitious project? What was it like showing these plans to the planning inspector who didn't surf? And how does he feel when that blue, almond-shaped barrel reels off with a stoked customer sitting on its foamball? Besides this, we also hear about Nick's surfing values and journey, as well as a general celebration of a place that has become one of England's outstanding surf zones.
