The genetics are strong in 11-year-old wingfoiler Tebbe Voget: his dad, Klaas Voget, is both a professional windsurfer and also Co Division Manager Wing & Foiling at Duotone. So the apple, as they say, hasn’t fallen far from the tree, and Tebbe is already showing huge levels of promise and a knack for picking up new tricks in record time…
Hey Tebbe! First up, tell us a little about yourself, and whether you’ve managed to get in the water today yet…
We had no wind today, so I went pump foiling with a friend. But tomorrow looks like we could get a wing session after school.
Your dad is a pretty accomplished wingfoiler and windsurfer. Does he give you lots of tips, or do you prefer figuring things out your own way?
My dad gave me a lot of tips in the beginning and I learned a lot of the moves from him, but lately I learned more jumps and freestyle tricks which I figured out by looking at others or by watching videos of some of the pro riders.
We hear you did your first backflips at eight years – that’s pretty wild…
I saw my dad doing them all the time and I told him I wanted to try it. So he said that I could try it in the waves in Denmark. On the first day of the holidays, I sailed up to him and said that I wanted to try it. He explained to me what I have to do and then on the next wave I went for it. He followed me and gave me some tips. After a few attempts I landed on my feet. That was a cool feeling!
Do you think about tricks a lot before you try them, or do you just go for it and see what happens?
Normally I think about the tricks first, but sometimes I also just see someone doing a move and then try it also.
💎 Premium Content Ahead! 💎 *You will receive our weekly Friday Pump newsletter, plus the latest features, gear tests and giveaway announcements. Do you have a crew of friends you ride with? Yes a lot of my friends also wing and it’s really cool to ride with them. Most of them live in our neighborhood, which is close to the water, so we can just grab a trolley with the gear and walk to the beach or go by bike. What’s been your favourite session so far? I’ve had many really good sessions in Denmark, in Hanstholm and Vorupør. But also in Sardinia, where we mostly go for the Easter holidays. I was winging in some pretty big waves there with my dad. Is there something new you’re trying to learn right now? Yes always! The next moves I want to learn is Palau into Backflip and frontside 1080. If you could ride anywhere in the world next, where would you pick? Well I really like the conditions in Denmark, they’re hard to beat. But from looking at videos – I’d also love to ride in Hawaii and in Hood River. So they’re on the list for sure. Final question: what’s Tebbe Voget doing in 10 years’ time? I don’t know, 10 years is a long time! Hopefully traveling to the best places in the world to ride in good wind and waves.This is premium magazine content, usually only available to our subscribers, but you can access it for free when you join our mailing list!
