Origin Kamiel is from Oostduinkerke, Belgium. His parents surf, and he started really young — his father taught him to surf, and by age 10 he was already very serious about it. He now lives on Fuerteventura to train in stronger and more consistent waves.

He has a real passion for big wave surfing. According to his family, he wants to surf massive waves — even 20-meter scale waves. His career plan is very international: competing in youth championships, training overseas, and building toward professional big-wave surfing. He’s coached by Lars Musschoot, and they take a very long-term, structured approach. For someone so young, he’s already making waves (literally) in very challenging conditions. His national titles + big-wave exploits show he’s not just a typical youth competitor — he’s a serious all-rounder. Getting a big-wave award at 13 is extremely rare and shows both talent and courage. His family commitment (relocating for training) indicates they believe in his long-term potential.
