Questions & Answers


We are all curious how did you become addicted to the sport?
A cablepark was being build next to my parents house when I was 12 years old. Suddenly I had the change to ride everyday! I started on two ski's and after a few weeks I tried trickskiing. I learned my first flips on a trickski and then somebody brought a wakeboard to our cable. I tried it and loved it ever since!

Bio

Sjors van de Kerkhof is one of the first riders in our Dutch team and moved up to the international team. He started his career with three event water skiing but as soon as he tried a wakeboard he sold his waterski gear. Besides wakeboarding Sjors is working at the Down Under Cableway in Nieuwegein. One of the biggest cableparks in the Netherlands. Sjors tries to add a lot of style in his riding. Not just adding another 180 spin to a trick but he's trying to make wakeboarding look as smooth as it can be.
