Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz was many things: a doctor, a philosopher, a nomad, and above all, a surfer who believed in the healing power of the ocean and the simplicity of a life lived close to nature.
Long before “wellness” became a buzzword, Doc was preaching the gospel of health, family, and wave-riding from the seat of a camper van. He raised nine children on the road, taught countless people how to surf, and challenged mainstream values with an almost radical purity.
In this conversation, recorded nearly twenty years ago, Doc reflects on the ocean as a source of spirit and balance. He speaks about education and instinct. It’s raw, it’s wise, and unmistakably Doc, uncompromising and full of life.
