WSS Team full time seasonal watersports manager - chris mullins(Q) Chris when and where did you first start? (A) I started on the sea in Langstone harbour, Portsmouth when I was 12. I then went to Chichester waterski club when I was 16 as I was on the hunt for flat water. I was into wakeboarding for about three years before I got in slalom. Chris Likes: Mostly slalom but I also Kite surf and snowboard, any extreme sport really. Chris Dislikes: Rough water, as every skier does. Chris's Coaching experience: I started off coaching friends and family behind my boat when I was 16, after that I got my BWS qualifications. I worked for mark warner in greece for a season in 2006. I have helped set up a kids coaching programme worked on that last season and then came here to work at WaterskiScotland this year. I have also volunteered in number of clubs in the UK and USA gaining valuable experience ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Driver/Coach/Receptionist - Duncan Renwick Duncan is no stranger to the NTS and in the past could be seen most days hanging out at the centre. Duncan a keen wakeboarder, is always willing to step in at a minutes notice to give assistance wherever needed, in the boat, answering queries, or helping out with vital maintainance work. For 2009 we are delighted that Duncan has decided to work as a seasonal driver/coach/receptionist. More on Duncan later.................................. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New appointments but Old faces ;-)  New for 2009 is the appointment of Andrew Haslam as Operations Manager, Andrew a director of WSS will be responsible for the day to day admin and smooth running of the on-water operation at the NTS. He will act as line manager to all members of staff.

Stuart will also be the first contact for all things coaching/driving, tuition, examination and qualifications. Stuart a gold medal winner in slalom at the 2005 European Chapionships is a very experienced competitor and his ability to teach at all levels from beginner to full blown competitor is an asset for waterskiing throughout Scotland.
