Sweat, Tears and the Surf is founded by Kim van Leuken.

Sweat, Tears and the Surf is an abstract of the original quote of Danish writer Karen Blixen of her book "Out of Africa" where she quotes: "Saltwater is the best medicine, either it’s sweat, tears or the saltwater from the sea."

Besides the fact that we truly believe in this medicine, Sweat, Tears and the Surf also implies on the Dutch: "bloed, zweet en tranen" which means that you have to go to different pains to master your surfing skills.

Living in the Netherlands it's not always easy to keep up with your surfing skills. Especially when you have difficulties to surf the whole year round. Besides staying strong and train an a regular basis, Kim, as a vitality coach knows what the impact of food can be. With Surf Food and Surf Fit she developed a perfectly tailored program to keep you strong and quick.

After years of surfing Kim was not progressing so much anymore, there was a fear for bigger waves standing in her way. She started her research on how to manage fear and together with some experts she developed a complete program to stay fit and confident to reach your highest surfing goal. With her partner she started training and they want to take you on their journey to become sharp, strong and fit to get the most out of your surfing session.
