Interview with Marcilio Browne

Four Dimensions Team: Marcilio, you had a perfect start into the PWA Wave Season with a 4th place on Cabo Verde. Do you aim now higher Goals for the
Wave Rankings?
Marcilio: Cape Verde was a really good result for me. That puts me in a good position now for the start of the season.But right now i am not thinking about rankings so much, i will train hard and do my best to reach good results, in the end lets see what happens!

FD Team: You spend many hours a day in the water. Can you tell how many hours you usually invest in Waves and Freestyle and how you prepare your body to still work?
Marcilio: Here in Maui especially our routine is really intense. We usually sail 3 or 4 hours in the waves everyday, sometimes even a bit more. If there is no waves i usually sail the same amount in freestyle. But lately i have been doing a lot more wavesailing. I also do yoga 4 times a week and eat some suplements that really help to keep the energy after sailing everyday for many weeks.

FD Team: One part of your training is checking lots of videos from yourself. Is this also a reason why you are so close involved side the Four Dimensions Movie Production?
Marcilio: Videos really help to improve and i always try to watch as much as possible, but thats not really the reason i am involved with Four dimensions. I think the guys behind it are the best in making windsurf movies, and i am super stoked to be on a movie made by them.

FD Team: Tell us a little bit how a day of a video production looks like?
Marcilio: Looks like sailing from 11 until 5, hahuahahua. Trying a lot of diferent angles and many new ideias we have. But that i can not say, you have to watch the movie.

FD Team: Can you tell me your time schedule for the upcoming 4 month - more/less?
Marcilio: After Maui i will go to Egypt for 3 weeks. Than maybe to venezuela if there is a contest there. If not, i will just go to canaries in early June and stay there training before all the events. After that i go to the south of Brasil practice some portack wave sailing.

FD Team: Were du you see yourself in 10 years?
Marcilio: doing the waves tour and sailing sick waves around the world hopefully.!!!

Gollito is the only rider from Four Dimensions who is not on Maui in April, as he is training in El Yaque for the 2009 Freestyle World Tour. We felt bad for him and had a quick chit chat.


Four Dimensions Team: Gollito, you had a hard winter. First you broke your shoulder,
then El Yaque was not windy as usal you think that you are ready for the
upcoming season?
Gollito: Yes I was training two months in Brazil and my level was high, but after only some weeks, I broke my shoulder.
Now in El Yaque this winter the wind was not so good, i think i need to train a little bit more for this season.

Gollito: I want to be the best Freestyle rider in the world, like 2008
and also think a lot for the new movie with andre marcilio victor..

your own team. How does that feel?

Dimensions. Can you tell us something about it?

Conditions looking bad for some days.

Maui is not playing the cards we want at the moment.

No wind, no sun, no waves for the next days. Well maybe some waves. But you can not always be lucky. Its time to capture clips and start to think about some music. Any suggestions? By the way, its Andres Birthday today. Congrates! We will also try to get Brawzinho to join facebook as everybody else on the planet, starting tommorrow.

Back to Almeria

Same as my team mate Andre, I left the Island of Maui last night. The last day of sailing on Maui was a great session of jumping sailing in diversity spots. Just Marcilio and Me in the water during the filming which was great to catch every single ramp on the way out¡¡¡Now i am back to Spain to recharge some new batery and have some fun sailing at home is always nice.
I hope you enjoy then pictures.

Jumping at Camp One.

Today the swell was a little to small for Hookipa so we decided to film Victor and Marcilio jumping on Camp One, and rented a helicopter. we where lucky with the weather, as the last days have seen drastic changes in wind and sun.

Andre left back to Germany today, and Victor to spain. Andre has all the pictures from today on his laptop, but said he would try to upload them here once he lands in San Fransisco.

Marcilio will stay another 2 weeks here on Maui, and we will continue to film here those weeks. Looks like a new swell is arriving at the end of this week, lets see the size.

Tune back for some pictures in some hours.

Big Day

What a day. After having a good night in Jaques we arrived early but a bit tired to hookipa. Just as forecasted the waves were building up and the sky was perfectly clear.
After having a nice session filming victor and marcilio from the water we went to try our luck again inside the helicopter. Has been a great time. We catched a view goiters and takas. As the light was still good once we returned to the beach i went again swimming with my water housing. Unfortunately the wind died very fast. But still... Good day. Lets hope for same conditions tomorrow.
