Sean Penn is in talks to star in and produce an as-yet-untitled biopic of surfing legend Dorian Doc Paskowitz reports Variety.
Paskowitz was a successful doctor who left his job, hit the road with his rather large family, and founded the first U.S. surf camp not based in Hawaii.
Paskowitz sold his life rights to the producers once Penn was attached.
Paul Feldsher ("The Four Feathers," "Waking Up in Reno") will write the screenplay.
Alan and Gabe Polsky are also producing the film.
Penn has experience playing surfers--Early on he starred as Jeff Spicoli in 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High .
"Hey, Bud, let's party!"
