Professional athlete and coach

My name is Tim van Dam, professional windsurfer and windsurfing coach.Windsurfing is my passion, and I love sharing it through coaching. There’s no greater satisfaction for me than helping other windsurfers improve their level on the water.With over a decade of competition experience and six years of coaching, I help windsurfers of all levels progress faster, ride with more confidence, and reach their full potential. I analyze every detail — from movement and positioning to timing — so you can master the basics and build a clear path forward.Whether you're just starting out or chasing your next level, I’m here to help you make the most of every session on the water.Languages: Spanish, English, German
Driven by a lifelong passion for windsurfing, I love helping others experience that same connection with the ocean. Seeing riders develop their skills and enjoy every session is the greatest reward🌊Thanks to everyone who has been part of the journey so far! Let's keep the family growing! 🤙
