Beyrick De Vries — Pro Surfer on Surfing for the Netherlands in the Olympics
Manage episode 329401178 series 2858394
Beyrick De Vries is a South African pro surfer aiming to represent the Netherlands surfing in the Olympics and coaches the Netherland’s Junior Surf Team.
De Vries grew up in Durban, South Africa and initially started skateboarding before his dad convinced him to try surfing. He never looked back. Describing himself as 90% weird, and 100% happy about it, Beyrick’s a character.
Beyrick started competing on WQS events at 16 years old, travelling to some of the best surf spots in the world. He’s been close to qualifying for the Championship Tour on a few occasions, only missing out by a couple of spots. With surfing now in the Olympics Beyrick’s focus has shifted to qualifying for the Games to represent the Netherlands in Paris 2024 (which will be in Tahiti) but we’ll get into that. He will also be coaching the Netherlands’ Junior Surf Team. His goal is to raise the awareness of surfing and surf culture in the Netherlands and emphasis the importance of ocean conservation.
Tune in to find more about Beyrick’s journey. What he’s focusing on to qualify for the Olympics, video projects, being represented by Global Action Sports Foundation and FUNKT MGMT and loads more!
