The Zegemeer and the forest where Scharpoord now stands were my playgrounds and the green square where petanque is now played was my football pitch. As a teenager, this area extended over the entire territory, because I was an outdoor kid and my bicycle was my freedom. I spent many hours on my skateboard in Duinbergen, where the municipality had made the runs traffic-free. I went to school at the Royal Athenaeum where my father was study prefect. When I left the parental home, I lived successively in Duinbergen, Westkapelle and Heist. Even then I enjoyed the holiday atmosphere that our municipality exudes and gratefully took advantage of the full range on offer, especially in the field of sports. I went through all the youth series at RKFC up to and including the reserves, went swimming in the Swimming Pool, Binnenhof and later La R\u00e9serve, played squash in the Laguna and later Campo Sportivo and also dived into the then still vibrant nightlife : Number one, MD's, Xenon, Dino's, Stradivarius, Wiener Weinst\u00fcbe, 050, stax, king, El gringo, bananas, Gin...\"<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-782a3da elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"782a3da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakesideparadise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-3.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10159\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakesideparadise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-3.png 694w, https:\/\/www.lakesideparadise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-3-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lakesideparadise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-3-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c5662b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c5662b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article__component article__component--question\"><p class=\"article__question\"><strong>My favourite spot in the borough<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"article__component article__component--paragraph\"><p class=\"article__paragraph\">\"Without a doubt: the sea.

The sea is different every day and at sea I feel good. After every session, I still walk onto the beach with a broad smile and carry that vibe with me for a few days or a week.

However, one event I will never forget is the Beach Boys' performance on 21 July 1987 at the exact spot where Surfers Paradise is today. I still call it the hallowed ground. I was also organiser of the accompanying Windsurfing Festival at the time, but the day of the concert it was windless, super hot and sunny. To avoid the crowds, I then sailed there by zodiac with some friends, surfboards along, and we anchored the boat. Only then did we realise the magnitude of this event: 15,000 people on the beach, an unbelievable stage, with all my rigged windsurfing sails serving as decoration in the background. We wriggled to the very first row in bare torsos and thoroughly enjoyed the array of top hits they performed one by one. Knokke-Heist was truly California at that time.\"<\/p><\/div><div class=\"article__component article__component--question\"><p class=\"article__question\"><strong>With this person I have the best connection in Knokke-Heist<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"article__component article__component--paragraph\"><p class=\"article__paragraph\">\"My star sign is twins and it seems that this makes you strive for variety, and this is true in my rather predominantly sporty circle of friends.

And there are a lot of them, because I belong to several cycling clubs: De Jumpers, De Bumpers, De Buuzestampers, De Maddies, De Molletjes...and more recently the coronatrappers.

The least beautiful spot for me is what we call 'the black mile' - the stretch of dyke in Heist next to the port.
