My Story,
I started skateboarding when i was around 10 years old. After a few years i was ready for something new.
I thought surfing wasn't really a big thing in The Netherlands, but every time surfing was on the sportschannel i got really excited. During a daytrip to scheveningen with my parents we drove along the beach and i suddenly started jumping around and yelled to stop the car. That was the first time i had seen guys surfing in Scheveningen. It wasn't big or perfect but i didn't care, i justed wanted to join those guys out there. Not long after, surfing was the only thing on my mind.
I can truly say surfing changed my life for the good.
Al my hours in the water paid of pretty soon with the first small sponsorship deals,in 1995.
Since then i have been blessed with a lot of people and brands supporting my passion.
Untill 2010 sufing contests was a big thing for me. Right now the focus is more on free surfing and doing photo/videoshoots. I just love to go for a surf with a few friends and just push each other to next level.
This is the place i'm gonna share a lot of the new footage.
