Chris Levi – Winter in Kernow
Well, my name’s Chris Levi and I’m based in sunny old St Austell in Kernow
I’m nearly 34 now and been surfing in the sea since I was a kid. Started off doing stand up but been bodyboarding for the last 18 years due to wanting to surf the heavier waves we have on offer, getting barreled as much as I can and having fun in shorebreaks!
I got into film making about six years ago and I was hooked ( more on the editing/producing side of things ). I started off producing bodyboarding films/edits for fun but that has progressed to all fields of wave craft.
Over the last few years my body is starting to show it’s age and I find myself filming more and more now due to injuries/surfers ear and getting more picky in my old age! I still love bodyboarding more than anything but the waves have to be right and im just trying to be more careful ( not that it’s working ha ha! ) So now when the waves aren’t right for me and there’s a good standard of surfing going on, I find myself sitting at the beach/reef filming away waiting to get back home to see what I can produce. I’ve learn alot by my mistakes in the past and I’m set to do bigger and better things in the future ……
