Every time I went on a surf trip I discovered something new and unlocked a new level…. I have been surfing for 11 years, mainly in the Netherlands. But during the surf trips I made the most progress. Here is an overview of. My surf trips and what I learned during the trip.

1. France, Mimizan my 1st surfcamp with ‘Surfline’ I learned how to peddle and stand up on whitewash and with luck some straigh handers in green waves.
2. Portugal, Sagres surfcamp wit a school from the Netherlands had my 1st green waves down the line
3. France, Bretange went on a trip with friends. Got better in reading waves making bigger drops and positioning for waves
4. France, Bretange with friends, had my first bottom and top turn ever so stoked!
5. France, Anglet big waves 3 meter getting my confidence level up, sice then big waves did not look so big any more.
6. NZ; Raglan my first left hand pointbreak, I learned how to do my first duck dives, survived some hold downs and got used to short-boarding
7. France, Anglet: broke my board 😭and was devastated, learned to take less risk
8. Hossegor & Peniche: I learned to duckdive, tried big barrels, learned to be way more calm in the water and be picky about which wave to take also broke a board
9. Spain: Unlocking so many skills, peddling positioning, proper bottom turn, body rotation, choosing waves, looking at waves and understanding the sections.
10. I want to go to Portugal, Peniche again, learn from the pro’s; learn for the pro’s and teach beginner intermediate surfers some new tricks and have fun.

I will keep on going on surf trips! Please let me know if you want to join. I love to teach and share knowledge, waves and adventures with you.
