Surf's up: Financier with famous name looks to make an offshore break — via financialpost
Nellie was at the airport in San Francisco on June 26 waiting for a morning flight to Toronto — hence the day away from the water. He spends summers with a group of Conachers at a cottage north of the city, although his connection to Canada lately extends well beyond vacation time., a national sport governing body he became involved with as a board member five years ago after meeting executive director Dom Domic on a surf trip.
“One of the reasons I was excited to take on the president’s role was because of Erin. She is the Chloe Kim of surfing,” Conacher said, referring to the American snowboarding prodigy/legend. The International Surfing Association has since ruled that Brooks was ineligible to compete for Canada, ratcheting up the drama and intrigue for a volunteer executive overseeing a $200,000 annual operating budget.Erin Brooks rides a wave during the 2023 ISA World Surfing Games at the El Tunco beach in El Salvador on June 7, 2023.“We remain hopeful that Erin’s Canadian citizenship status will get resolved soon so that she can get back to winning medals for Canada,” Conacher said.
Being a self-proclaimed “old guy” of the waves has led to many delightful surprises for Conacher. There is a certain democracy to the ocean. The older men and women bob right alongside the young hotshots and pros when the surf is breaking big, waiting for the right wave to catch. Imagine a perfect winter’s day at the local rink and playing shinny with Connor McDavid and Marie Philip-Poulin. That’s what surfing is like every day.
