Doug Pray’s documentary SURFWISE posts an intriguing question: just what is the true American dream? By 1956, Paskowitz was successfully rising in the worlds of medicine, sports and politics. He had easily conquered one version the American success story, but his idea of the “dream” found its realization in the then, relatively small nomadic community of surfing.
SURFWISE follows 85-year-old surfer “Doc” Paskowitz, his wife, and their nine kids in their camper (see inset).
