It looks interesting. I watched all 10 of the mini-clips on the website. I wonder if I saw the best parts already. :-)

Was very interesting. Loved meeting Doc (April 2006). My Husband surprised me with a secret meeting in front of the Duke statue to receive an autographed copy of his book I'd been wanting for so long "Surfing and Health". Was quiet surprised. Exceptional man to let it be known how his family felt about the whole deal. Read his book. Quiet radical, but all for the good.

Doc had much good philosophy, but while required nourishment for the body may have remained unchanged (mother's milk is always best), Haven't we expanded our mental capacity beyond our primate ancestors. I've heard the best nutrition is in the skin of any fruit or vegetable, especially if it is organic . Is this not true?

I think he has alot of good principals, but maybe was a bit radical in his applications. I am glad to see he is reunited with his family and hope they can overcome there disadvantages, appreciate their father's intentions and grow from their experience and live on to gain all that they can achieve.

Stay in good health, exercise your brain, body, and soul.

God bless the Paskowitz family, us all, and the world.

Awesome movie. The Dad is seen as a nut job by some and a prophet by others. The best thing about the movie is the honesty from the kids. They let it all out.

What an awesome film! I was intrigued through the whole movie. What an interesting family. I had no idea about them. The movie is not what I expected for sure. Watch it, its a good one!!!

It was listed on the guide for Direct TV and I tried to watch it last night, but unfortunately that wasn't one of the several hundred channels I get.

Can somebody record it for the cable challenged? The Paskowitz family used to come to Florida every year back in the day. They would park their motor home at the pier and spend a month or so. We always looked forward to their visits. I'm sure Freesurfs remembers the old times with them.

Its on Netflix. Just watched it. I am so torn.... I think everyone on here wishes that they could leave the world of materialism and institutions behind and just surf. 9 kids, a 25' camper and no school. They went everywhere. Even the kids are deeply conflicted about the freedom and lack of structure. The guy was 85 when the movie was made. Still surfing. The Kids still surf. They all surf very well. It was sad to see them fight amongst themselves so much, knowing that they were so close.

I've watched it a few times, and remember reading about the Paskowitz family when I was a kid, Surfer mag. I always dreamed of living their lifestyle, but only managed month long holidays on a few occasions. I'm nothing but a rat racer, and my kids don't get a fraction of the unstructured play time they need. The American Dream is really a materialistic tragedy.
