Marcilio Browne is a two time world wave sailing champion. While originally from Brazil he has made the Hawaiian island of Maui his permanent home to better follow his passion. Dis.Traction follows Marcilio during his first training sessions leading into to the decisive season’s final contest where all the world’s greatest from the sport compete for the ultimate prize. Following the end of contest season Marcilio and fellow wave sailing champ Morgan Noireaux take to the mountains, or rather to the volcano for some alternative action. As the island is exposed to heavy ground swells from many directions, Marcilio and his friends are always looking for ideal spots. On one such scouting trip they round the west side of the island and take in the action at world famous surfing beach Honolua Bay.

Even the windswept beaches of Maui are sometimes prone to changes in the weather pattern. During one such lull, Marcilio takes us on a tour of shaping legend Keith Teboul’s inner sanctum and let’s us in on some secrets of accelerated gear development. As the first serious swell of the winter arrives, mythical big wave spot Peahi, aka Jaws gets pounded by 25ft to 40ft waves. After some diligent preparation Marcilio and Morgan decide to brave these liquid mountains of pure fury. Dis.Traction is a rollercoaster ride of action and an authentic insight into the world of a seasoned professional windsurfer. Shot on location it features the breathtaking beauty of the Hawaiian Island of Maui and showcases appearances of some of the sport’s greatest athletes.
