Want to try one out at our shop in Utah? Give us a call.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz is an icon in the surfing world. In 1972, he and his family launched the Paskowitz Surf Camp, the first ever surf school, and it continues to operate today.  The New York Times dubbed the Paskowitz family as the “First Family of Surfing.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Paskowitz Surf Camp was Doc Paskowitz’ s surf science class. As a medical doctor and professor, Doc wanted to share with the world the science of surfing. The fundamentals of surfing along with a clear understanding of waves, ocean safety, surf etiquette and the proper techniques were of utmost importance to become an accomplished wave rider, and waterman, a true surfer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoc’s good friend from San Diego, Larry Gordon of G\u0026amp;S surfboards, gifted Doc with the very first “sidewalk surfboards” in 1975. During the off season, the Paskowitz children used these first surf skates to hone their surf skills while adventuring across the U.S. These boards were good, but Doc longed for something better to surf on land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0383\/5441\/files\/Abraham_on_Pasko_2_480x480.gif?v=1658348727\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA carving skateboard fit for a Paskowitz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn honor of Dorian, the Paskowitz family and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hamboards.com\/\"\u003eHamboards\u003c\/a\u003e launched the Paskowitz model. The deck has a slight concave, is 30” long and 11\" wide. This allows for more stability, proper foot placement making it suitable for all ages and heights. The 17” wheelbase almost forces your stance to mimic the same stance on a surfboard. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hamboards.com\/pages\/hst\" title=\"HST Truck system\"\u003eHST 2.0 truck system\u003c\/a\u003e sets this board apart from any other. The “Pasko” has a 40° pivot axis in the front, a 20° pivot axis in the rear, and both trucks have 180mm hangers and is more stable than other surf skates, all while still providing excellent pumpability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0383\/5441\/files\/Abraham_on_Pasko_480x480.gif?v=1658348570\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes the Paskowitz Surf Trainers so special is that you can kick and gain speed, much like paddling on your surfboard to gain momentum. Once up to speed, your stance can then develop the correct positioning. Now that you are stable and feeling solid (not on your heels or toes) you can practice your rail-to-rail using repetitive maneuvers to increase muscle memory and posture. These boards take carves at speed and still feel solid. Use your Pasko board to pump and maintain speed like racing down the face of a wave and preparing for a deep bottom turn or a full figure-eight cutback into the power of the wave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #212b36;\"\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tech-details-ops\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-sm-3 col-xs-6\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth: \u003c\/strong\u003e11 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelbase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003cspan class=\"metafield-weight\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-weight_value\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-weight_unit\"\u003elb\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birch\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeck Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 mm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWheel Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66 mm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWheel Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyurethane\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWheel Durometer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardness: 78A - 80A\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension_unit\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Truck:\u003c\/strong\u003e HST 40° baseplate, 18\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension_value\"\u003e0 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension_unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e hanger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Truck:\u003c\/strong\u003e HST 40° baseplate, 18\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension_value\"\u003e0 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-dimension_unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e hanger\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hamboards","offers":[{"title":"Zen Swell \/ 55°\/20°","offer_id":49309498474794,"sku":"1910-20-ZNS-HST-30i","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Native \/ 55°\/20°","offer_id":49309498507562,"sku":"1910-20-NTV-HST-30i","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hut Island \/ 55°\/20°","offer_id":49309498540330,"sku":"1910-20-HTI-HST-30i","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1298\/2931\/files\/3461780d09b2d5ccdbf36410e4491ffb_0becb2d1-1673-4d90-9513-7cf663af7d71.jpg?v=1727182536","url":"https:\/\/dig-paddlesports.myshopify.com\/products\/hamboards-paskowitz","provider":"Dig Paddlesports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
