From Brussels to Bali - video
There are two take home points from this clip of 16-year-old Belgian surfer Arpad Leclere.
First, just as Belgium is home to the United Nations, a Belgian surfer is indicative of surfing's new cultural mix.
And secondly, though hailing from a country with just 66 kms of coast, old Arpad was largely raised in Indonesia and his preternatural tube sense is what happens when hollow reefbreaks are your bread and butter.

There is a third take home point:
The UN is in NYC - I think you mean home to the EU in Brussels, not to take anything away from the EU cultural mix. And on that, its either Flemish or Walloon, there is no Belgian... ;-)
Well that was pretty good. Love waves like that he sure has good tube sense.Good track too.
