- Synopsis:
A riveting account of the life of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz. Surfer, drop-out and sex guru, Spurning the 50's infatuation with material prosperity Paskowitz chose to give up on conventional life instead living on the road, moving from one beach to the next. Like many American outsider-adventurers, Paskowitz set out to realize a utopian dream. Abandoning a successful medical practice,he sought self-fulfillment by taking up the nomadic life of a surfer. But unlike other American searchers Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for the ride, all of them cohabitating in a 24 foot camper, where they were frequently down to their last dime. Decades later, his choices have split his family, with only a few of his nine children continuing his pursuit of an alternative lifestyle. Others have not spoken to him in years, until they were re-united for this documentary. The result is a moving account of a family's implosion set against a colourful history of surfing in the USA. - Actors:
