Charged Water – Australian Premiere

Charged Water makes its Australian debut in Ballina – the hometown of its main subject, Simon Axmann. Directed by Philipp Edler and produced by Edler and Jenny Axmann, this 21-minute documentary dives into the rise of eFoiling through Simon’s eyes. A German innovator who found his calling in the Northern Rivers, Simon has become a leading figure in the sport, known internationally as “The OG.”

The film explores the world of eFoiling – a thrilling, sustainable watersport where motorised boards glide silently above the surface, merging technology with the freedom of surfing. Viewers are taken across Ballina’s scenic waterways and beyond, following Simon’s creative process, his relentless experimentation with custom designs, and his journey to the unofficial world championships in Dubai.

After being officially selected for six international film festivals, Charged Water now returns to where it all began, offering Northern Rivers audiences a first look at a story that celebrates innovation, passion, and the spirit of sustainable adventure.
