Sim Davis
Owner, Head Coach, Trick Switch Pro Coach
With 36 years of personal watersports experience and over 25 years working professionally in the boating and watersports industry, he brings a depth of knowledge that delivers world-class instruction to every student.
His background spans professional coaching in wakeboarding, waterskiing, and wakesurfing, along with hands-on experience in boat building, sales, detailing, and retail. Beyond the water, he has played key roles in events, staff training, and providing business guidance to both startups and established operations.
His career has taken him around the world—from Australia to British Columbia, Ontario, the United States, and the Caribbean—building not only a diverse skill set but also a strong global network that supports continued growth and opportunity.
Through TrickSwitch, he has brought all of this experience together to create a proven coaching program, delivering high-quality, impactful sessions with every student he works with.
Kennedy Armstrong
Driver, Coach and Social Media Manager
Kennedy has been wakeboarding since the age of 12 and has remained deeply connected to the sport ever since. With three years of coaching experience and heading into her fourth season, she brings energy, progression, and excitement to every session. In her third year, she trained under Sim, gaining valuable techniques that she continues to share while developing further as a coach. She is passionate about working with riders of all levels, helping them improve their skills on the water while building confidence off it.
Kennedy believes that loving what you do is key to performing at your best and strives to create sessions where students develop more than just their riding ability. As she works toward a future career in firefighting, she remains committed to the watersports community. Wakeboarding has taught her resilience and the importance of getting back up no matter how many times you fall—lessons she aims to pass on while helping every student progress, gain confidence, and have an unforgettable time on the water.

Kennedy Armstrong
Driver, Coach and Social Media Manager
I’ve been wakeboarding since the age of 12 and have never left the sport, building three years of coaching experience and heading into my fourth season with a focus on bringing energy, progression, and excitement to every session. In my third year, I had the opportunity to learn from Sim, gaining valuable tips and techniques that I’m excited to pass on to my students while continuing to develop my own skills. I’m passionate about working with riders of all levels—whether they’re just starting out or looking to take their riding to the next stage—and helping them progress not only on the water but in their confidence off it as well.
I strongly believe that falling in love with what you do is key to performing at your best, and I aim to create an environment where students learn more than just wakeboarding. Confidence, resilience, and enjoyment are at the core of every session. As I work toward a future career in firefighting, I remain committed to sharing my knowledge and passion within the watersports community. Wakeboarding has taught me the importance of getting back up, no matter how many times you fall, and that mindset carries into everyday life. I’m dedicated to helping every student push their limits, build confidence, and have an unforgettable time on the water.
