Chasing the Wind

“The proper function of man is to live, not exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them, I shall use my time.”
Jack London

Chasing The Wind is a short documentary that tells the story of champion windsurfer Jesper Vesterstrom and his internal struggle following his father's diagnosis of ALS. Grappling with his father's fate, his instincts led him to the open water where he learned to harness the elements and his emotions in order to keep a promise.
