Meet Yannick de Jager. This talented Dutch surfer is born and raised in the ‘surf village‘ Scheveningen and makes me and a lot of others proud of our little country (and my home town). This video is one of the 5 Protest videos on professional surfers and their journey from their personal ‘here to get there’, whether it’s a search for solitude and empty breaks, winning contests under pressure or simply searching for the perfect wave in imperfect locations.
Yannick nurtured his surfing skills in his front yard, the North Sea in The Netherlands. He will find his ”there” somewhere along the way while traveling to locations with high quality surf, competing in international contests or simply finding waves to perform – to take his surfing to the next level.
