| Like many American outsider-adventurers,
Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz set out to realize a utopian dream. Abandoning a
successful medical practice, he sought self-fulfillment by taking up the
nomadic life of a surfer. But unlike other American searchers like
Thoreau or Kerouac, Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for
the ride, all eleven of them living in a 24 foot camper. Together, they
lived a life that would be unfathomable to most, but enviable to anyone
who ever relinquished their dreams to a straight job. The Paskowitz
Family proved that America may be running out of frontiers, but it
hasn’t run out of frontiersman. |
