 Early life & Professional career 
Leander started his career as a professional kitesurfer, winning national and international competitions from 2007 to 2009. He was the Belgian Freestyle Champion and won the Super Grand Slam Kiteboard Pro World Cup in Italy in 2008.  His career included several serious accidents, such as a crash at Big Bay, South Africa, in 2007, and a major injury in Maui, Hawaii, in 2009 ending his involvement in the World Tour.

In 2013, after an accident that left him unconscious, Vyvey made a surprising pivot to acting. He trained in London, and later at The Second City in Chicago.
