Surf-Devil

The Fokkers are five friends, who are only interested in surfing, surfing, having a good time together and surfing. The Fokkers are all in their early-mid twenties and have met during several surf trips or contests, and since then have traveled often together to pursue their greatest passion: surfing.

Originally, the Fokkers Surfrew has been founded to participate in the Nike Chosen Contest 2011 - where the name comes from isn’t traceable anymore. The only certainty is that the name is pronounced in the same way as it is written...
