For me, the world of videography and movies was connected to windsurfing from the very beginning. After watching a lot of windsurfing movies in the past that taught me, I always got inspired to keep pushing myself. It’s really important to me to pass this feeling on to other windsurfers around the world. I love to see quality and authentic content about athletes, especially in water sports. I feel that this is the art that I create and I enjoy sharing it especially that my level has also improved and can motivate the new generation to get better and enjoy the sport like I do. Dudu Levi
