Tycho is a friendly, relaxed teenager full of passion for windsurfing. He started windsurfing at the age of 10 and soon joined the advanced team in the Sunday morning classes. Since then, he can be found daily on the waters around Bonaire, training in all circumstances, easy chop in Lac Bay or training in the waves on the east coast of Bonaire. Tycho is a very disciplined person who knows well what is important in life, which helps him to maintain a perfect balance between school, surfing, going to the Gym and as many teenagers racing games on his PlayStation. When he got in contact with Windfoiling, the Olympic flame started to catch fire and plans for Los Angeles 2028 were already made, but his focus is now fully on Slalom course racing in the PWA and IFCA class. That's also Tycho; being realistic and focus on his goals.
For now he has one dream: Become PWA World Champion in the Pro fleet!
