PASKO: THE MAGIC MOVE

Check out this incredible documentary about Maarten Molenaar who tells his story about recovering from testicular cancer and setting goals to regain his confidence through learning the freestyle move…the Pasko!

ABOUT THE MOVIE

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. The film has been selected for multiple Film Festivals around the world, winning three of them:

  • Best Documentary at the Ignite Film Festival
  • Audience Award at the Filmfest St.Anton
  • Merit of Awareness Award at the Awareness Film Festival Los Angeles
