🇳🇱 Sanne Meijer

Dutch rider Sanne Meijer, at home on cable and behind the boat, won the 2024 world title in Paris and World Games bronze in 2025.

Sanne Meijer won the IWWF Open Women cable world title at Le Kable near Paris in 2024, scoring 71.67 to finish ahead of Germany's Julia Rick. The Dutch rider, born in 1997, followed up with bronze in women's cable at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, behind Rick and Italy's Vanessa Tittarelli.

She competes on both cable and boat; if you are unsure how the two differ, see our cable vs boat wakeboarding guide. According to The World Games, she started riding cable at ten and took up boat wakeboarding in 2014, and in Chengdu she also entered the boat event. At the 2023 WWA Wake Park World Championships in England she was third in Pro Women Park.

Thailand features in her training. In a 2021 interview with The World Games, she explained that she travels to Thailand to train because she can ride for up to five hours a day there. According to her IWWF rider profile, her home cable is Project 7, and Liquid Force lists her as a member of its global team.
