People magazine published a story on the Paskowitz Family Surf Camps this week (you won’t find it on their site since we swiped the print version from the doctor’s office.) Izzy Paskowitz, son of Israel’s first surfer “Doc” Paskowitz, runs surf camps for autistic kids in Malibu, which really warmed our sad little beaten-down hearts (we’re still licking our wounds from yesterday’s Jewschool flamefest.) The Paskowitz site radiates a sense of “kosher aloha” we wish there was more of on the Web.
And while we’re on the subject, we’ve always found the old “surfing the Net” metaphor so odd. What does clickety-clicking through screens while hunched in a chair have to do with surfing? Only thing we’ve found is that the locals are just as nasty.
