Barefoot - the full movie

Freestyle Windsurfing in Brazil - in this 20-minute film, Dudu Levi tells the story of the past two years, which represent a challenging period in the Israeli's life. Dudu: "At the end of September 2023, I came back home from a long windsurfing trip. I was at the peak of my career, windsurfing better than ever.

But on the darkest and most painful morning of October 7th, without any warning, everything changed. All my plans were gone, and I was called back to the army for five months. The hardest and saddest chapter of my life. I believe it was the same for most Israelis.

After that, I decided that once it'll be over, I would travel again, windsurf as much as possible, and clear my head. I entered a windsurfing competition and broke my foot. Once again, all my plans changed. When I began to recover, I decided that I would travel to Brazil, Jericoacoara, a place where the wind never stops over the season. I dreamed of living by the sea, eating well, sleeping well, and windsurfing every day. That's how the story for this film came together.

The idea for the film was born from the collection of videos I had gathered during my trip, amazing shots by Felix Volkhardt. I started playing around with the footage, mixing with some moments from the past year that eventually led me to Brazil.

So here’s the film. I hope you enjoy watching it. Remember, the most important thing is to love, to share love, and never fight against it. Thanks."
