CAREERS & INTERNSHIPS
Small team. Strong perspective. Based in Amsterdam.
New Amsterdam is born from the energy of the city and shaped by the reality of cold-water surf. Built between concrete and coastline, we created our own perspective on surf culture: raw, real and unapologetically our own. The movement from city to sea and back again is part of everything we do: Euro, city, surf.
We’re a hands-on and culture-driven team of surfers, designers and creatives building a brand we believe in. We work closely together, think independently and make things that feel true to who we are.
If that speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
