Ron Köller – @koellerron – Osnabrück – 23.08.1992 – 188cm / 95kg – Once I reach master class age, I’ll be unstopable 😀 for the moment a 4th @ Rapid Surf DM 2023, 4th @ Rapid Surf League 2024

WHICH SHAPES DO YOU SURF?

Mostly the Talking and the Flying Fish. And occasionally I surf the Bang Stick and the Point Made Custom I got.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A SURFBOARD?

The most important thing for me is that the board brings me joy in surfing. It should give me a familiar feeling, so that I can easily dive into new maneuvers or lose myself effortlessly in a perfect line. The ideal board has a balanced combination of drive, radicality, rail-to-rail transition, and pop for the air game.

WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD SIZE AND VOLUME?

My boards all have very different dimensions, ranging from 5’5 to 5’10, so I always have the right board for the different rapids =)

AND FOR SURFING?

I’m currently surfing a 6’3 with 39 liters of volume.

WHAT’S YOUR HOME SPOT?

The Hasewelle of course!

DREAM DESTINATION?

For ocean surfing, destinations like Indonesia or Hawaii are certainly a dream—but also incredibly crowded, and you need skills that I don’t necessarily have 😀. I’d love to go on a surf trip to the North for an “Arctic Surf” experience, where I can surf at remote and less frequented spots. They say there are also many fast-flowing rivers in the North, so I’m sure you can find a rapid or two that can be surfed as well.

OTHER BOARD SPORTS?

I enjoy being out in the woods on my MTB or hitting dirt jumps. In the winter, a snowboarding vacation is a must, and I occasionally ride a skateboard too.

MOST IMPORTANT WEBSITE AND ACCOUNTS TO CHECK?

gofuckingsurfnow.com

A SAMPLE IN MUSIC?

I like listening to Metalcore, especially before surfing to get pumped. After surfing, though, I prefer something more relaxed.

SPONSORS OR PARTNERS?

The L&T Haswelle and Mighty Otter!

Alright! So welcome to the Otter Peeps Ron!

Moin!
