SurfWise Surf DVD Trailer

http://www.RazorReef.com There are many different ways to drop off the grid, but few dropped off with such style and urgency as Dorian Paskowitz, the paterfamilias of what is lovingly and at times enviably described as the first family of surfing are featured in this surfing video. It was an intensity in part born of his passionately felt engagement with history as a Jewish American, which took him from Stanford Medical School in the 1940's to button-down respectability in the 1950's and, thereafter, on the road and into the blue yonder with a devoted wife, nine children, a sucession of battered campers and the surfboards that were by turns the family's cradles, playpens, lifelines, and shields. You meet Mr. Paskowitz, or Doc, straightaway in the documentary Surfwise, Doug Pray's wonderfully engaging look at love, family, the relentless pursuit of happiness, personal meaning, and perfect waves. At least have the battle in the documentary is finding a worth subject, and few live up to their screen as easily as Doc, a born pitchman, part carny, part evangelical, who even in his 80's continues to spread the Paskowitz Gospel (clean living, clean surfing) with fervor.
