Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Joshua Paskowitz (Paskowitz Surfing Family)
“[Did he deliver all of you guys when your Mom got pregnant and, you know, had you?] Yes, he did. He delivered most of us kids. He delivered me, I know that for sure. And then most of my brothers were born in Hawaii, so they have the distinction of being blessed by Duke Kahanamoku, which I’m sure was a great experience and, you know, obviously something I wish I would have gotten. But that’s cool, whatever.”

Tune in as Poorman interviews Joshua Paskowitz, surfer, painter, and youngest son of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, American surfer and physician who gave up practicing medicine for a living and decided to become a professional surfer.
In 1972, the elder Paskowitz founded a surf camp run by his family, where campers could live alongside and surf with members of the Paskowitz family. He and his family have been referred to as the "First Family of Surfing.”
