The spot

Flat water changes everything.

A hidden, shallow lagoon near Knokke. Flat, steady and calm. The fastest and safest place there is to learn, and I only share the exact spot with the riders I coach.

Filmmaker + coach

See yourself ride.

Every session is filmed on a cinema camera, not a phone. We review it together to fix your technique fast, and you leave with footage that actually looks good. I'm a filmmaker: it's the same eye I bring to shoots for O'Neill, Red Bull and Core, and for pro surfers, kiters and skiers.
