Proud to call him my friend & mentor - Beachboy - 08-22-2007 Meet Dorian Paskowitz, a surfer, family man, and retired Family Doctor. "Doc", as all his friends call him started what is known to be the first surf camp in all America with his nine kids in California back in the early 70's. Now retired, he moved back to Hawaii with his Hawaiian wife several years back. When I'd go to work I use to see him surfing Waikiki almost daily. "Doc", always had time to stop and ask me how my wife and kids were. This was a daily ritual between the two of us. So this morning before taking my wife to Hilo to catch bus to Waikaloa, I saw "Doc" on Israeli television via some religious show called "Harvest TV". "Doc" always was a man of vision. I could think of no better surfer for this task! God Bless you Dorian Paskowitz!!! http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007708220382 RE: Proud to call him my friend & mentor - Kelena - 08-22-2007 He is bringing a serious injection of aloha to this troubled area of the world. He is a very spiritually advanced person. If his outlook were contagious, we would live in peace tomorrow. RE: Proud to call him my friend & mentor - Beachboy - 08-23-2007 here are the lucky recipients of "Doc's" aloha at the Gaza Strip. A couple of Palestinians carrying their new surfboards back home! RE: Proud to call him my friend & mentor - Rob Tucker - 08-25-2007 There was an interview with Paskowitz on NPR this morning. He was delivering surfboards to Palistine. Very interesting.
