Celebration of freedom

This year oxbow celebrates 25 years of freedom, waves, and surfboards.
But its not only waves and water, also wind and snow are some of their priorities.
Oxbow has a great team of riders, legends like Laird Hamilton and Kai Lenny.
For their 25th anniversery, Oxbow has visited some of the world best surfing spots, and as final stop : Scheveningen!
For this weekend I was asked to join the team, I felt proud to be one of them, but on the flip-side I was kind of excited to meet those riders and people within Oxbow. Its not unusual to only speak those interesting people trough email and skype, so its good to meet them for real.
Besides the strong wind we’ve got for this weekend, the weather was “ dutch”. Clouded, chilling and grey. Also we had huge waves, but such a mess. No problem for us though, I could kite just trough it and Kay Lenny was cruizing on a SUP in this mess. It was a spectacle to watch them surf it and I enjoyed my sessions. After our demo sessions we went back to the Oxbow surf village, to have a great bbq followed by a mini concert, by the french, rising band “ The Dukes” , followed by the dutch band Splendid.

Further on, i went wakeboarding today. I had a blast of a session, with kickers and sliders. I love kickers, today i trained on my 360’s, tantrum and raileys from the kickers.
