About: Jeroen Mutsaars
Jeroen is the co-founder and co-owner of Swell Active, where he
combines a long-standing passion for surfing with a commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for guests.
Originally from the Netherlands, Jeroen decided in 2004 to leave a conventional career path and dedicate himself to the surf & travel lifestyle.
Over time, he has surfed in a variety of locations worldwide, gaining first-hand knowledge of different breaks, cultures, and approaches to surf instruction. Before starting Swell Surf camp with his wife Clare, he owned a surf travel company where he visited many surf resorts and surf camps around the world, gaining a great insight in what was missing in the surf travel market: an affordable surf retreat, with the comfort of a boutique surf hotel and the mellow vibes of a Surf camp.
In early 2009 Jeroen & Clare bought land and hired an award-winning Swiss architect to design and build a brand new surf resort: Swell Active.
Swell was opened in October 2009 and has since hosted 1000s of guests from all over the world to learn to surf, kitesurf, or recently wingfoil.
Besides Surfing, other hobbies include: Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Sailing and recently all foil-related sports. In winter seasons, he loves to go Snowboarding.
