Scott Schmid

Scott is the son of a fisherman and could have possibly been born in the ocean. He grew up in Oceanside, CA and has been surfing for 20+ years. In 2002, he and his 2 best friends drove from San Diego to Panama on an 9 month long adventure. After staying in Nicaragua for a couple weeks Scott fell in love with the country. Fast-forward 12 years and many trips to Nica, Scott is now a local and coached the national stand up paddle team in the 2014 ISA World StandUp Paddle and Paddle-board Championship. He enjoys working with the local Nicaraguans and getting them involved in standup paddle boarding as a way to gain awareness about preserving the unique natural resources in Nicaragua.
