About the NWWSA Team

We are a cadre of close friends with a diverse set of interests and skills, united by
our love of long Washington summers, wine, food, laughter and of course wakesurfing!

We recognized the need for an organization to support and promote the sport of wakesurfing
in the Pacific Northwest and so the NW Wakesurf Association (NWWSA) was born.

Grace

Grace Han Stanton - President
(aka "Grand Poobah")

When Grace isn't wakesurfing she is practicing law as a partner in a large Pacific Northwest law firm, where she specializes in intellectual property law.  In addition to wakesurfing, Grace enjoys skiing, reading and traveling.   

Len

Len Nahajski - Vice President
(aka "Big Kahuna")

Len and his wife Rayne live on Lake Sammamish with their dog Sammy.  Wakesurfing takes most of their free summer time, in addition to practicing yoga and eating and drinking great food, wine and cocktails, the rest of Len's day is spent as a criminal defense attorney at The Nahajski Firm in downtown Seattle.

Mike

Michael Cameron - Treasurer/Webmaster
(aka "Nanook")

Mike is relatively new to wakesurfing.  He is a quick study though, and promises to land a 360 this year. Mike regularly travels to the Arctic to study marine mammals. It cuts down on his practice time but he's comfortable surfing the entire season without a wetsuit. When not surfing, Mike and his wife Colleen enjoy travelling, throwing parties and making each other laugh.

Allison

Allison Goodman - Secretary
(aka "Gidget")

Allison loves being on or in the water.  This includes wakesurfing, slalom skiing, wakeboarding or just cruising around in her 2007 Air Nautique.  To fund her fun, Allison does computer forensics which means she tries to determine what people did on their computers, including whether they were downloading porn.   

Allison

Brett Griffin – Sergeant-at-Arms
(aka "H.O.J.O.")

Brett grew up on Lake Sammamish. After graduating, when his mom wouldn't let him back in the house, he decided to spread his wings in Seattle. He still knows where his mom hides the boat keys though, and so we made him a board member. When he is not surfing, Brett enjoys golfing and driving around in his new Bitchin' Camaro. "You can take the boy out of Lake Sammamish..."

Allison

Neal Chalmers – Deputy Treasurer
(aka "Casper")

New to the world of public accounting, Neal does not do much other than work with Excel. When he does have the occasional Sunday off he enjoys hanging out on the water and riding the wake. If you see him without a tan (nearly always), please do not make fun of him; he does not get out much and is very sensitive about his pasty-white, ghostly, almost transparent, skin.

Allison

Jeff Paige
(aka "Gran Jefe")

Jeff Page is the founder of Inland Surfer , the leading global manufacturer of wakesurf boards and equipment. When Jeff isn't at the helm of this business, you can find him cruising in his Centurion boat creating monster wakes around Lake Sammamish.

Chris

Chris Stanton
(aka "Thumper")

Chris is currently on sabbatical in Brazil... or is it Switzerland? ...New York? We honestly don't know, but he clearly leads a charmed life and is married to the most patient woman on the planet. Can someone please give this man a job? Our jealously is killing us! Stay tuned for details on his new hybrid sport combining wakesurfing and fully automatic skeet-shooting.
