Annelies will be very happy to introduce or help you to progress in surfing! 

Born and raised in Belgium she was always a big fan of sports, training on a high level in trampoline.

She discovered surfing at  16 years old on a family holiday In Soustons, France and a new passion was born!

Annelies: "Surfing changed my life: A new world opened up! I still remember the first green wave I surfed!"

After her studies in Master of Physical Education  she  followed her dream and went travelling, working, snowboarding and surfing around the world! Australia, New Zealand Fiji, USA, Indonesia, ...

​

 Annelies: "Sports and coaching are my life story!, After being a competitor it was very logic to me to become a sports teacher, personal trainer, surf - and snowboard instructor. I love transferring my passion and knowledge to other people."

​

After 10 years of traveling she wanted to find a home base, Belgium wouldn't be it since she missed the ocean to much. So she quit her  job  as a PE teacher to follow her dream to live by the ocean in Hossegor and surf as much as possible_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf 58d_

​

Annelies "I"ve worked a couple of years for the local surf club in Hossegor which was a great opportunity ,but now it's time for something new: I am very happy to welcome you to Coco Surf School.
