What is Air Camp? Find it out. Just watch the latest video featuring Adam Sims, Dudu Levi, Julian Wiemar and Julien Dorer, their personal Doc. Timothy Cowen from Mothy Media directed and filmed the “Air Camp Rules” production in South Africa. The main drive for the new project came from German freestyler Julian Wiemar, who was inspired by the Air Camps in the surfing scene: “It’s all about the air nowadays. We don’t slide anymore, also in freestyle.” And to put it straight, for Adam Sims the best windsurfer is the one touching the water the least and the positive side effect is, you can’t get injured if you stay in the air 😉
The Air Camp was kind of a private Windsurf Training Camp in the winter of 2020, a time of reflection and creation for pro frestylers Julian Wiemar, Dudu Levi, Adam Sims who had all started the season in great form, only to be individually struck by injury. With Air Camp medic and part time windsurfer Dr. Dorer on standby, there was only one thing for it, hit some fat lips and send some tricks, but don’t forget the rules, IT’S AIR CAMP BABY!!! OH MY GOSH!!!
The Air Camp participants also established some rules for the camp but they forgot one: Don’t take yourself too serious.

I guess we can say good job for trying something a bit original, but unfortunately the overall result didn’t do it for me.

But listening to 4 guys talking mostly nonsense for 15mins straight in between a couple good shots is a waste of time. The concept of a training camp specific to windsurfers – great. But with this kind of attitude put on display from some of the top freestyle windsurf guys… Read more »
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback and acknowledgement that it’s trying to be something different. The guys rock, and agreed their action is sick. We all mess around with these silly comedy moments, especially in freestyle, its a community of like minded incredible athletes sending their bodies into the abyss of what is possible, I have total and complete respect for that and although these guys are complete professionals on the scene, luckily none of them take themselves too seriously and thats also the point the movie is attempting to showcase, a little bit of personality of windsurfing with a… Read more »
The level on the water is incredible and I will never get bored of watching clips on my lunch break but I couldn’t manage to finish the video. I understand how tricky it can be to find new and original way of telling a story within windsurfing so therefore thankful for the time and effort. I look forward to the next one but please make it shorter ‘cause My breaks or short along with my attention.
Cheers Pablo. You might enjoy the @aircamp.omg instagtam channel Pablo. Breaking down the movie into shorter sections and will be releasing more content of moves etc. as time goes on
