Surfwise

Like many American outsider-adventurers, Dorian "Doc" 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 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. The Paskowitz Family proved that America may be running out of frontiers, but it hasn't run out of frontiersman.

yeah tottally agree but tehy couldnt hav done all this to the extenct that they did if tey went school...

one hell of a thought provoking film. doc's ideals are romantic, but i can't say i entirely agree with him. its too bad doc didnt help supply the kids with more options for when they grew up. recreation, attitudes of mind, healthy eating habits, and being less detached from the physical world are all vital facets of life, but he shouldnt have restricted them from public schooling. he should have at least given them the option. if doc had been less selfish, his kids would be PERFECT beings.

Our possesions binds us to a material world when the things the mind, soul, and body need are the joys of an unbinding life!

Awesome but not easy, I give mad respect to this familly and I hope one day I have the courage to pursue my own spiritual freedom!
