"Born to windsurf": Trailer for the cinema documentary about Björn Dunkerbeck

The impressive and exciting documentary by director and producer Gerard Salmina tells the life story of Björn Dunkerbeck over three generations of windsurfers and at the same time tries to find out what makes and drives the person behind the athlete of the century with 42 world championship titles, who is still one of the world's top speed surfers after three decades as a professional. Also from the perspective of his competitors such as Robby Naish or Josh Angulo, who comment on Björn's greatest victories from their point of view.

"Born to Windsurf" is an elaborate cinema production that Gerald Salmina, himself an enthusiastic windsurfer and well-known documentary filmmaker, has been working on for several years. We have already seen parts of the film and can only say that it will be an epic work.
