Pasko the Magic Move

Fuerteventura (ESP), Delft (NED)

Recovering from testicular cancer, professional athlete and filmmaker Maarten Molenaar embarks on a journey to Fuerteventura to learn a new freestyle windsurfing trick – the Pasko. Named after European Champion and revolutionary watersports filmmaker Andre Paskowski, who passed away in 2013 from the very same disease, the trick represents much more than just a highly technical double air rotation. Looking to regain confidence and rebuild his life after chemotherapy, Maarten sets an ambitious goal to land the move on the summer of Andre’s 10th passing anniversary. In the process he explores the legendary filmmakers story and comes to terms with the toll the disease has taken on his own mental and physical health.
