No ordinary moments

This is how my adventure began:

After so many years competing in windsurfing, I found the sport of SUP a new adventure in my life and it has taken me to places I never thought I would go. Among others, to Tahiti, together with Scott in 2012. When Scott started his SMIK project, I was by his side helping him in any way I could. We talked a lot, we developed boards and it wasn’t until this year that I was able to make a dream come true: to be part of his team.

When Scott Mckercher invited me to Indo to do a Longboard SUP event and then a surf trip with the rest of the team I thought; “It will be another adventurous trip with my friend Scott, one of many we have done in these 20 years of friendship.” Knowing Scott, I knew I had to let go and that one disaster would lead to another and then another...but somehow it would end up being an incredible and unforgettable trip. So it was.

Let’s go to INDONESIA! I bought the ticket with a lot of pain seeing the high prices, but I thought to myself; It is one of the few adventures that you will do for the rest of your life and that is priceless.

I arrived in Bali without boards, without pad dles and depending 100% on Scott. He had ordered two boards and was looking forward to seeing them there! A long SUP and a SUP Waves board. I have to say that I have worked on designs with Scott for many years and every time I wait for one of his shipments I look forward to them like the XMas pre sents. When I got to Bali there they were! My two new toys are ready and waiting for me to go in the water.
