My name is Kick, I'm 15 years old and I grew up in the Netherlands, where I currently live. I started surfing in the Netherlands with my brother and quickly fell in love with it. As I became more passionate, I began surfing more frequently and I’m now training hard every day. When possible, I train on the Canary Islands because the waves in Netherlands are very inconsistent. In 2023, I won the U16 National title and made the national team. I’m thrilled to represent the Netherlands and pursue my dream of professional surfing.
