Episode #24 (English).

Guest: Wilco Prins, co-founder T&C Surf Designs Europe, former Rip Curl Europe CEO and EuroSIMA President

Wilco Prins is a pure product of Dutch youth who, much like all the other kids in Europe at that time, got into action sports in the 80’s and 90’s through windsurfing, skateboarding and eventually surfing.

One fine day of 1992, his passion drove him all the way to French beaches, where he discovered our waves and the lifestyle he’d read about in surfing magazines.

After starting out at Rip Curl as an intern (waxing boards for Patrick Beven for a photo shoot), he quickly climbed the corporate ladder: first as Footwear Product Manager for Europe, then Head of the « wetsuits and footwear » division, then « Core Division » Manager (products and sales) and in 2013, he became the company’s CEO. 

At the head of one of the leading companies in the industry, the Dutchman also took over for Fred Basse as EuroSIMA President, becoming, for one term, the spokesperson for the entire European action sports industry.

After the Torquay-born brand let him go in 2019, Wilco bounced right back, giving a « re-birth » in Europe to another iconic brand : T&C. This new adventure, both so similar and so different from the last one, was once again driven by the same passion for boardsports and a genuine knack for business. Relaunched post-Covid, the brand with a strong Hawaiian heritage has found itself a new place in retail as well as in the hearts of consumers. This is thanks to a strategy boosted among other things, by unique collaborations, like recently with Fursac.

Wilco sat down with us for a chat to talk about his many years at Rip Curl and his new experience with T&C. Along the way, he shares his analysis of the industry, markets and customer expectations and discusses the challenges that we’ll all have to face in upcoming years.

A fascinating episode with a key player in our industry.

Recorded in the MACS premises in St Vincent de Tyrosse on April 3rd 2025.

(Episode en anglais)

Wilco Prins est un pur produit de la jeunesse hollandaise qui s’est prise, comme tous ses voisins européens, la vague des action sports dans les années 80 et 90 à travers le windsurf, le skate puis le surf. Une passion qui conduisit un beau jour de 1992 l’intéressé jusque sur les plages françaises pour y découvrir nos vagues et le lifestyle vanté par les magazines de surf.

Rentré chez Rip Curl Europe en 1997 en tant que stagiaire (« en waxant les planches de Patrick Beven pour un shooting photo ») il y gravira les échelons à une vitesse fulgurante : chef de Produit chaussure Europe, chef de la division « combinaisons et chaussures » puis responsable de la « Core Division »(produits et vente). Il deviendra finalement PDG de l’entreprise en 2013.

A la tête d’une des plus importantes entreprises de l’industrie, le Hollandais succèdera au passage à Fred Basse à la présidence de l’EuroSIMA, se faisant également - le temps d’un mandat - le représentant et le porte-parole de la filière.

Remercié par la marque de Torquay en 2019, il rebondira rapidement en faisant renaître sur le Vieux-Continent une autre marque iconique : Town & Country. Une nouvelle aventure, à la fois similaire et très différente de la précédente, mais guidée par cette même passion pour l’univers de la glisse et une appétence forte pour le business. 

Au micro d’Inside EuroSIMA, Wilco revient en détail sur ses longues années chez Rip Curl puis chez T&C, tout en partageant son analyse de l’évolution de l’industrie, du marché, des attentes des consommateurs, mais aussi des challenges à relever dans les prochaines années. Un nouvel épisode passionnant, avec l’un des acteurs phares de notre industrie européenne.

Bonne écoute.
