Surfwise is a film telling the remarkable story of surfer, sex guru and health advocate, Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz and his quest to realize a utopian dream.
Abandoning a successful medical practice, he sought self-fulfillment by taking up the life of a nomadic surfer. But unlike other American outsider-adventurers like Thoreau or Kerouac, Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for the ride, all eleven of them living in a 24 foot camper.
Together, they lived a life that would be unfathomable to most, but enviable to anyone who ever relinquished their dreams to a straight job.
