Surfwise

Maybe I’m a sucker for surf movies, but this documentary looks pretty awesome. It’s a story about a huge family that essentially detaches from society to travel and surf. The 9 kids grow up in a totally unique liberal environment and get to see the world. The father is legendary Malibu surfer Dorian ‘Doc’ Paskowitz, a doctor who “dropped out” of the social realm, bought a camper, and brought his family with him.

In a way, I wish this could have been me! There’s nothing more free than dropping in on a wave. To be free from everything else would be paradise.

Here’s the first trailer:

Here’s the second trailer that shows a much darker edge to the film:

The film is called “Surfwise” and is directed by Doug Pray.

Check it out on Apple Trailers.
