Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz passed away this morning. This man was the original nomadic surfer. His words and wisdom, both from his book, Surfing and Health, and our conversations at PB, Campland and Tourmaline always go with me both in the water and out. Mahalo to the entire Paskowitz clan. Paddle out, and catch one for him. In his words, "There is a wisdom in the wave." "It's easier to die when you have lived, than it is to die when you haven't. So I say to all the young people, go and make memories, beautiful memories. When the time comes for you to go, you will not go alone." Doc Paskowitz 1921-2014
RIP Doc. Your legend will not be forgotten. Thanks for letting the world in on your adventures, Surf on.....
yea I thought he died like 2 weeks ago. from the slater page I was lucky enough to spend time with him a few days ago and get a couple of big hugs and this final photo. He was passionate about diet and exercise but his biggest wish was to see peace in Gaza between Israel and Palestine and always believed that those who could surf together, could live together peacefully. He told me that if they would 'pave the streets of Palestine in gold' there would be peace between the people. He personally walked donated surfboards over the Israeli border to give to his Palestinian surfing brethren as a sign of respect and acknowledgment. Maybe one day his true dream will be realized. I'll miss this crazy, old man who helped raise my little brother and teach me about the ways of the world. Condolences and love to his wife and 9 children. that's the kind of isreali/jew that makes this world a better place
ever since sean went full retard in I am sam,I don't think any movies worth watching are coming his way
reports of his previous expiration were greatly exaggerated. (apologies to mr. twain for the paraphrase)
he IS over-fluffed; isn't he? because he parses his words so well.....i think he's thinking politics.
