I am back home after a really fun couple of weeks on the road!

It started out with a pretty long journey… a 29 hour drive to Avoriaz! I went there to judge the PBRJ champs, the weather over there was epic and so was the set up. I was lucky enough to get in a little riding and had a fun session myself. After the contest there was a party, a fun night!  I took it mellow as the next day, back on the road!

I headed to LAAX for the Dutch National Championships, also known as the Snowfest. It was cool to catch up with some Dutch friends that I’d not seen in ages! I was on a little mission over there to collect a few FIS points so I can start the qualification next season.

Slopestyle went down, and I put down a run to put me in the top spot, Dutch slope Champ! so we had a night out for a little celebration! Next day back in the car to Biarritz. It’s been good to be back home and back in the water, got in a nice surf the other day with Gary Greenshields, summer is on it’s way!

Last week I spent in Mayrhofen for the Vans Wangle Tangle. I had a blast catching up with friends and the Vans crew. It was so hot over there! T-shit shred all round, first day though powder turns! rest of the week was blue bird skies and park laps.

Right now I am in Biarritz, and am just getting in the first surf of the year!

X GAMES TIGNES!

So I cruised over to Tignes, a 10 hour drive through the night from Mayrhofen, quite the mission but we shared the drive so it wasn’t too bad! Road trip with some of the British guys.

My family was out to X games so it was great to have them all out for the support, my Mum came in too to look after Lara so it was fun to have that little bit of home with me during the week.

During X games I filmed some for NOS a TV station back home in Holland.

Finals went down on Friday, the weather was epic, literally blue bird all week, doesn’t get much better!

I was happy to land a run, I had little training due to my previous injuries, bruised heel from the World champs and I finished up in the 8th spot in a pretty heavy field.

Right now I am back in Mayrhofen after flying home for 2 days, the Wangle Tangle is going on this week and I am out here with Vans team mate Charlotte Van Gils, should be a fun week in the park with the Vans crew, check back!
