I am born in The Hague/ Netherlands and lived there until I was 7 years old. In 2016 I moved to California/ USA with my family. Due to my parents I was always on the beach and around surfing. However, only when I was 9 and I first started surfing on a shortboard, I really got into it.  Since two years I am competing in the NSSA and other local Santa Cruz/ Californian competions. I bike to surf my homebreaks at Santa Cruz daily; Pleasure Point, The Hook, Sewers. My favorite tricks are air reverse, rail carves and blow tails. I love being in the Ocean and around water, next to surfing I also play competitive waterpolo for the Santa Cruz Waterpolo club.

Douwe is a multi-talented surfer, he loves competing on longboards and shortboards. He started surfing in the Netherlands at the age of 7, followed by several years surfing and travelling Europe with his family in a camper van. In the past two years Douwe lives in the South West of Portugal where he can train every day in challenging and great conditions.    In 2023 it was his first time competing with Team Netherlands at the European and World Championships Longboarding and at a WSL competition.

I surf and train everyday to get better and to get to the ISA junior world surfing games This is a big dream for me that has come true. In 2024 I got National champ u16 which qualified me for the Dutch national team. My life  is surfing 

Born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, I started surfing in 2021 and quickly fell in love with the sport. Growing up in a city with no waves has only made my passion stronger and fuels my excitement to travel to warm destinations with epic surf.

I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to represent the Netherlands and to compete alongside surfers from all over the world who share the same love for the ocean.

Surfing has already given me so many amazing experiences, and I’m genuinely thankful for every single one of them. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and where this journey will take me next.
