ACHIEVEMENTS
Freddy Olander grown up in Berlin, proves that with drive and ambition even a kid what was landlocked in the city can conquer the most difficult and biggest waves around the world. Specialised in 3 categories of Big Wave Surfing: “paddle in”, “tow in” and “driving the jetski”.
“For a city child like me, surfing was like liberation: I could finally escape from the confines of the concrete desert and into the vastness of nature and waves. Surfing enables me to forget everything else around me and to experience many emotions in one moment. When I ride, it is just me and the sea. You could compare it to a meditative state. That is the reason why I’ve been a passionate surfer for more than 20 years.”
