Nick Lynn (a.k.a. Nicholas Mizrahi Lynn) was born in 1960 in Manhattan, New York. He is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, with an illustration major. During his early childhood in New York City, his family built a beach house designed by Andrew Geller (circa 1961). This house, called "Raspberry Baskets" by the architect, and known colloquially as the Box Kite House to local residents, fostered Nick's love for coastal life and the ocean. This love translated into a passion for the marine environment and surfing. His love for surfing and the environment lead him to chair the New York City chapter of the Surfrider Foundation from 2010-2016.
