I first met Casper on the water in Klitmøller in 2013. He was 18 years old and had already won his first world title, which I didn’t know at the time. Fast forward a couple of years, and Standing on Water traveled the world to film festivals and was shown in cinemas across Denmark and Germany. I couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished setting out on a hunch and with barely no budget.

One of my fondest memories was when the film was translated to Persian and Arabic, and in collaboration with Danish Red Cross was shown in refugee camps around Denmark. After one of the screenings, a man came up to me and said: “Thank you. If Casper can do it, so can we.”

ABOUT
Standing on Water is a story of overcoming your fears and following your passion. It's the journey of how Casper Steinfath despite his fear of water became one of the best stand up paddle surfers in the world as the only person from Denmark. It's a story of how far passion can take you in life, even if you grow up in a small and isolated fishing village in the middle of nowhere. Strong family bonds, brotherhood, and the birth of a Danish surf community in what today is known as Cold Hawaii set the stage in this meditative portrait of a life lived by and for the ever-changing ocean.
