One need not be a fan of surf to find something interesting in SURFWISE, Doug Pray's documentary about the legendary inspiring and unconventional Paskowitz family. The first family in the surf became famous for its large size, to win countless trophies, and for its eccentric leader, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz. Once an admired figure in the medical community, while Dorian decided at the height of its success to leave everything behind, heading for a life on the beach. While traveling the world in search of the next big wave, Dorian met and married Juliette, which soon began delivery of their nine children. Born in quick succession and never placed in the school, the boys were raised in the ocean and on each truck moving

Although it seemed unconventional to the outsider, his routine was very unusual in fact controlled by Dorian, who wanted to raise his family in the form of live animals, free of the material world. The film takes on a turbulent journey through the family's complex history, first focusing on its patriarch and then moving slowly through the years with the commentary of the family-seven children now. Careful not to judge, just SURFWISE presents the history lived by those on the inside. Even at age 85, Dorian appears before the camera open and secure than ever for the extreme form that has raised her children was a gift for them. Scenes of the complaint by the adult children are counterbalanced by the hope of a reunion in the final. Although Ore does not break any new ground here movie, you choose a theme schemer who, in turn, leads viewers to leave the cinema looking at family dynamics, tradition, and personal sacrifice in a new way
