David Tidball Aka (Tidders/Tids)
Steering Group Member
Born and bred in Devon.
He worked within his fathers business from the age of four, and later on in his property company. He was schooled locally at Blundells school in Tiverton.
He has a degree in planning and attained a post-graduate Legal exemption and Law Society Finals with a view to returning to Exeter to continue his previous five years as a lawyer.
During the long summer recess before his law finals he had an epiphany and started to make Tad. Along with three friends he opened his first surf shop in 1993 with £500 and a van load of boards and a home-made printing machine. He traded from three different locations in Exmouth, now he has two shops, and one in Exeter. He also did what all thought was the impossible; he sold "surf" to the town of Exmouth.
He has sat on a few committees and helped to stop kite-surfing getting banned in Exmouth. He has also worked closely with the RNLI (to whom he owes his life to) and Coastguard to promote beach safety and awareness. He has always helped the youth to promote their music and their skating in town and finds he is uniquely placed to share the love of our creator with them.
My proudest achievements are my free gifts, my wife and three children
