Pasko - The Magic Move

06/01/2024

More than just a sport or a way of life, windsurfing is also a strength and a life project for some... Proof of this with Maarten Molenaar, professional windsurfer, director and manager of the Freestyle Pro Tour. He lives for and through windsurfing, and it is above all the freestyle discipline that motivates him and into which he is currently putting all his energy. At 28, he has successfully recovered from testicular cancer and built his life around his passion.
Now in remission, he set himself the ambitious goal a few months ago of mastering the pasko, a manoeuvre that we owe to Andre Paskowski, freestyle champion and revolutionary filmmaker, who died in 2013 from the same illness.
Last summer, Maarten Molenaar decided to travel to Fuerteventura to learn this new trick, with the ambitious aim of completing the manoeuvre on the 10th anniversary of Andre Paskowski's death. In doing so, he explored the history of the legendary filmmaker and comes to terms with the consequences of illness on his own mental and physical health.
This story has given rise to the film "Pasko - The Magic Move", available free of charge for a limited time between 5 and 7 January. The 40-minute film is available at windsurfstories.com/pasko. You can also watch the trailer for the film. It includes interviews with Gollito Estredo, Victor Fernandez, Rafael Cervero (EFPT and PWA judge), George Grisley, and Dudu Levi, among others. The original music is by Alago (a group made up of windsurfers) and Narval (another windsurfer with a passion for film music). Pasko's cinematography was directed by Floris Tils, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and another windsurfer who contributed to the project.
