He spent 29 years boat building, including professional boat building and surveying and owned boat yards in Netherlands before moving to a permanent lifestyle on the ocean. He is a specialist in fiberglass /epoxy and carbon, and a renowned mold maker and prototype boat builder in Holland, including gelcoat and polyester repairs. He also enjoys doing rigging inspections and adjustments as well as kitesurf and skimboard building and repairs.

Rolf was also an Old School & Big Air kitesurf teacher and still enjoys kitesurfing and showing clients all the best locations to kitesurf in the Grenadines if they want to kite. If they dont, he is also more than capable and happy to be the professional charter captain, bar tender, tour guide (above and under the water) and water-sports tender driver /enthusiast.

Hobbies: Kitesurf, wing, windsurf, mountain bike, snowboard, wakeboard, fitness, SUP, freediving, and diving!
