Darrick Doerner’s Summary
Some of my experience: Surfing for over 46 years, research and development for some of surfing's best board shapers such as Dick Brewer, Gerry Lopez, Kiwi Allan Byrne, and Peter McCabe, just to name a few. Educational background in heavy water safety procedures and overseeing safety measures in many different aspects with the ocean. I have been broadening the horizons of surfers who come to SEA Adventures for the last several years.
My goals are to share my extensive knowledge with schools, organizations, and individuals who are looking to further their understanding and enjoyment of the ocean and aiding my students in reaching their goals.
Some of my other credentials include:
* Worked with the Hawaiian Water Patrol from 1978-2004, which was in charge of water safety for all North Shore surfing contests. Their role was to ensure the safety of all professional surfers in the treacherous waters of Hawaii. Darrick's water patrol work for films and TV shows include Big Wednesday, Baywatch, ER and The Big Bounce.
* Stunt double and surf coach for Patrick Swayze in Point Break (1991). Final "Bells Beach" surfing and wipe-out scene shot at Waimea Bay.
