My Story
The Comeback
Some stories need a pause to get really good.
~1998
The Beginning
Late 90s, Holland: Three years of intense windsurfing — Harderwijk, Veluwemeer, and especially Surfcentrum Brouwersdam, where I worked two seasons. On the water every day, wind on my mind, nothing else mattered. That's where it all began.
~2001–2017
The Long Pause
Almost 20 years without wind and water. Life had other plans — career, building companies, traveling the world. The sport was forgotten. But the feeling on the water never fully went away.

The Comeback
Spent a lot of time on Gran Canaria and watched the windsurfers in Pozo — there was no resisting it. First Bahia de Formas to get back into it, then after some time Pozo itself. The waves, the wind, the energy — after the first few meters, everything came rushing back. No turning back.

Today
Based in Cyprus for two years now. Over 20 knots means windsurfing, below that it's wingfoil. From here I chase wind around the globe — Gran Canaria, Jericoacoara, Cape Town, Mauritius, Bonaire, Cabarete, Domburg. The best decision was to start again.
