Born, raised and living in Scheveningen.

If you do not expect anything surfing can by fun in the Northsea.

For work I am coming abroad and somethings could surf better waves.

It is a pleasure to be in El Salvador.

My first time competing in the World Championships. I was aiming for the Junior Longboard Championships later this year, but this one came first. I equally enjoy longboarding, shortboarding and anything in between. At the moment I live in the southwest of Portugal. My mentor is Nienke Duinmeijer (also in TeamNL), we just did two weeks of training together in the north of Spain (where she lives).

I started surfing when I was 12 years old on the coast of Holland and pretty soon, I decided that I would dedicate the rest of my life to surfing. I shaped my life in a way that I could travel as much as I could to not only enjoy surfing as much as possible, but also to get better at it and in particular longboarding. I started doing competitions in Holland and after that, I started focussing on international longboard competitions. Among other achievements, I´ve won Salinas Longboard Festival several times, the Single and Unnattached in the Phillipines and reached a 2nd place at the ISA European Longboard Championships in 2019. I always loved the classic approuch in competitions. Over the past 10 years I´ve been sharing my knowledge and experience in longboarding through my company Single Fin. I love to coach people and bring their longboarding to a next level. But I also love to give them more than just tips and tools to improve their technique. My goal is to let people go home after being with us with great inspiration, a greater sense of consiousness in how to travel and make daily choices in a sustainable way but most of all giving them an ´Ohana´ feeling. A positive surf community feeling, the same that I felt when I started surfing. Two years ago we opened a ´longboard retreat center´ right in the middle of Oyambre Natural Park (North of Spain) called ´Casa ´Ohana´. A perfect and quiet place for our community of longboarders where we host our retreats, organize private coaching sessions and offer accommodation. Since then I also live full time in the North of Spain, my second home. Our upcoming coaching week from May 28 - June 3 will include Chloe Calmon as a guest coach.

Since I was a little girl, I have been enchanted by the ocean. Growing up in a tiny coastal village that allowed me to pursue my passion for surfing from an early age, my fascination for the ocean and marine life has been growing to the extent that it became my goal to sustain and care for the oceanby raising more awareness about protecting the ocean. My dream is to become one of worlds best female longboarders and play a big role in nature conservation and contribute to safeguarding all species for future generations. As a Dutch Longboard Champion I'm an ambassador for a healthy and sustainable future. At the moment I protest against the biggest steel factory in Europe where I live next to, called Tata Steel. This factory emits lots of carcinogens that must now.
