About Triplepoint.
​Triplepoint was born from passion, adventure, and the drive to grow. From skateboarding and snowboarding to surfing – movement and challenge are in our DNA.
​
With over 20 years of board experience and 13 years as a surf coach, I’ve logged thousands of teaching hours and developed from a grommet to an ISA Level 2 coach. Along the way, I discovered that true progress isn’t just about technique – it’s about mindset:
-
Calm – stay focused and composed.
-
Confident – trust your skills and yourself.
-
Commitment – don’t give up, keep growing, and finish what you start.
​
Triplepoint isn’t a traditional surf school. It’s a surf coaching brand that moves with the waves, offering:
-
1-on-1 coaching and small group lessons
-
Online coaching & video analysis
-
Gear advice
-
Surf trips & clinics
​
Triplepoint is more than surfing. It’s a mindset.
About Me.
I’m Niels, born in The Netherlands and raised in Albania until I was five, where my parents worked with refugees. Both were incredibly sporty and passionate about nature – my father loved the mountains, taking us climbing, while my mother loved the sea and encouraged me to embrace the water.​​
​From a young age, I was drawn to boards. Skateboarding was my first love, followed by snowboarding, and eventually surfing. My early years in the water were challenging – cold Dutch winters, strong waves, and endless hours of practice shaped my resilience and determination. I quickly learned that progress comes not only from skill, but from mindset: Calm, Confidence, and Commitment.​
​Over more than 20 years riding boards and 13 years coaching, I’ve trained tirelessly, earned my ASI Level 1 and ISA Level 2 surf coach certifications, and worked internationally, guiding people on both surfing and personal growth. Along the way, life tested me with injuries, loss, and extreme experiences, reinforcing the importance of mental strength and perseverance.​
Surfing is more than a sport to me – it’s a lifestyle and a teacher. Through Triplepoint, I share that philosophy, helping others overcome fear, push boundaries, and live fully, guided by the three C’s: Calm, Confidence, and Commitment.
