ווו זענען איר פון?
I am from Holland originally.
דערציילט אונדז וועגן אייער קאַריערע.
After some years having fun learning how to windsurf with my family (during vacations and weekends), I got more serious being 16 יאָרן אַלט. I was at the local lake every weekend and started course racing and long distance races followed by a Dutch Championship title in ’94. In ’95 I moved to the Dutch North Sea and learned to windsurf in the waves a bit. Maui and South Africa seemed more interesting for waves and after my first ‘real waves’ I was hooked and my competitive drive came up again. I started the PWA in 1998 and became 3rd overall in the PWA wave overall rankings 2002 amongst many top 5 results in earlier and later years. Since a few years I combine windsurfing with SUP and surfing; challenging myself in more areas while organizing the SUP 11-City Tour since 2008/2009.
What are some your favorite place to sail?
Hookipa, מאַוי.
I would go to Western Australia, get a 4×4, chase the weather patterns on West- and South coast and make sure to throw a SUP and windsurf board in there as well
ווער זענען אייערע ספּאָנסאָרס?
Roxy Clothing, Starboard SUP & Windsurf, DaKine, Ezzy Sails
My inspirations vary from positive, inspiring, passionate, kind, loving people to nature’s beauty; a wave, a flower, sunsets – to the ‘odd moment’ when things come together and give you the message “you’re on the right track, kiddo!”‘.
וואָס איז געווען אייער באַליבט טייל וועגן קאַמפּיטינג אויף די אַווט לעצט יאָר?
I competed again in the Makani Classic on Maui last year after not competing for a few years. It was a fun competition with great side- events organized. The participants were stoked and competitive, there was a good crew running the show. It was a pleasure to take part and ending up 2nd with the women.
וואָס זענען אייערע צילן פֿאַר 2012?
I hope to get sailing again within 2 months. I injured my knee over christmas (the ACL). I also hope to be part of the event again on Maui for sure.
ווערטער פון חכמה?
Dream of life, live your dream.
