ABOUT

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Invented the Scootfoil, Snowscooter and a few more. I am foiling in the most original, beautiful and difficult places to foil. Such as canyons, mountain lakes, frozen lakes, waterparks, underground lakes and more.

WHAT DO I DO BESIDES WINDSURFING/WINGSURFING
I have been a professional freestyle scooter rider for more than 17 years. I won a few European championships before deciding it was time for me to focus exclusively on videos. Since then I am trying to create new ways of riding my scooter while still pushing the limits of my tricks. This is actually how I created the scootfoil. I thought it would be amazing to be able to pump and surf waves on a scooter and now it's possible!
