Chad Nelsen is the Chief Executive Officer of The Surfrider Foundation. Chad was brought to Laguna Beach, California with his family in the 70's by his Dad who was an Ocean Science Educator. He spent his entire life growing up around the ocean, swimming, diving and surfing. He became a Lifeguard at Laguna and went on to study Geosciences then Coastal Management.
Chad volunteered at the Surfrider Foundation a non-for profit organisation dedicated to the protection of the world's oceans, waves and beaches. A few years later he landed a job at Surfrider coordinating a beach mapping programme which opened up to him running the Environmental Department for 16 years. In 2014 Chad became the CEO of the Surfrider Foundation and oversees more than 180 chapters and student clubs around the world. He also helped establish “Surfonomics,” which looks at the economic implications of surf tourism.
