He settled in on the North Shore of Oahu. Spending time in the ocean was the best education that launched him into lifeguarding.

He learned from other people such as Peter Cole, Greg Noll, Dick Brewer, Reno Abellira, James Jones, Owl Chapman, Sam Hawk, Tiger Espere and Michael Ho.

Darrick trained in California with Shawn Alladio of K38 for rescue boat technical handling. Double D was the preferred boating driver/partner of Dave Kalama and Laird Hamilton during the beginning times of the ' sport.of Kings'. In 1996, Darrick left life guarding to become an ambassador to surfing. He worked with an apparel company and traveled around the world to teach surfing and to share his knowledge with others.

Addicted to Joy
This is a love story about a way of life that dates back to 12th Century Polynesia. The film honors all surfers and shapers that have dedicated their lives to being joyful and respectful of the ocean and the natural world because there just was no other way. Theirs was, and still is, an attitude that is universal, that transcends politics and greed, and expresses the ALOHA in their hearts.
