Jordy, swimming champ and big wave rider. This surfing talent is bursting with ambition!

Once upon a time Jordy was a swimming champion. These days, as a big-wave surfer, he’s on an eternal quest for gigantic waves. ‘Big wave surfing’ is a discipline in which surfers paddle or are towed onto waves by a towing partner, someone who guides you (with a Jet Ski) to colossal waves. A towing partner might come in handy facing waves that are at least 20 feet high. One thing goes without saying: our Jordy is not afraid of heights. The results of his extreme adventures can be seen in the DVD “Big balls on fire”. In 2009 he spent a whole winter in Fuerteventura where he perfected his technique. His dream? Being able to Surf everyday of course!
