Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Skudin is 31 years old and wears a scraggly reddish beard. He was always a skinny kid, but years of competitive swimming and surfing have covered him in lean muscle. When he was 15, he announced to his parents that he wanted to surf big waves, and that he wanted to be the youngest goofyfoot ever to surf Mavericks. These were unusual goals for a kid in Long Beach, even among the city’s talented contingent of small-wave surfers. But the Skudins are not your typical New York family.

Two weeks before Skudin’s session at Jaws, I met his parents, Dave and Beth, at The Park, a sleek sports bar on Long Beach’s busy six-lane Park Avenue. It was the coldest day of the winter—13 degrees—with a northwest wind slicing across the low, mustard-colored marshland separating this western tail of Long Island from New York City, which looms on the horizon like an approaching concrete-and-glass glacier. Beth, who is small, serene, and fair-skinned, thanks to her Irish roots, had hair still wet from her evening class at the Long Beach Recreation Center, where she has taught swimming on and off since 1991. Dave, who had just stepped off the train from Manhattan, where he works on Wall Street as a U.S. Treasury bond broker, is barrel chested and thick jawed; the latter trait is one he passed on to all four of his sons.

Dave and Beth both grew up in Long Beach and met as kids on a swim team at the local rec center. They were also both from surfing families, raised on the beachbreaks scattered between Gilgo State Park to the east and the Rockaways to the west. Beth’s father, an actor and artist named Dick Bolton, was one of Long Beach’s earliest surfers. In the 1960s, he became friendly with Duke Kahanamoku, who visited Long Beach occasionally to give swimming demonstrations. In the family’s modest bungalow, there is a framed photo of Kahanamoku with a note written to Beth on June 29, 1964: “To Beth, Aloha” it reads in sloppy cursive. It’s signed by The Duke.

Dave’s childhood was not as dazzling. After their father passed away when they were young, Dave and his three brothers were taken under the wing of their swim coach, Woody Davis. “Woody made sure we kept swimming,” Dave told me one afternoon as we drove past the beachside block where he lived as a teenager. Davis was able to get all four boys to college on swimming scholarships. Today, Dave’s brother, John, is a captain on the Long Beach Lifeguard Patrol. “We’ve been wet more than we’ve been dry,” he says about their upbringing.

This paddle board sunglasses strap is brought to you by NALU, a brand devoted to the water-sport of paddle boarding. Here at NALU, we believe that paddle boarding is more than a sport, it is a way to have fun and to live an enjoyable life while staying in good health. NALU is all about SUPing (Stand Up Paddle Boarding). As two brothers, Jake and Ben Field, our home office is on Fripp Island, SC where we also offer paddle board rentals and tours as a way to share our love for SUPing. NALU offers the best paddle board clothing, apparel, and accessories to continue paddle boarding on and off the water.

It is made in the USA so you know that quality and care were put into this product and environmental standards were upheld. 10% of net profits go to ocean cleanup to help get and keep our ocean and beaches clean. We started this SUP rental and tour business called “NALU Paddle Boarding”. NALU means “wave” in Hawaiian and Stand Up Paddle Boarding in Hawaian is “hoe he’e nalu” which means, “to stand, to paddle, to surf.” We were teaching others to paddle board everyday and experienced how unique and powerful paddle boarding is. The options on a paddle board as well as in life are endless. Whether it’s paddle surfing, yoga boarding, flat-water SUPing, saltwater, freshwater, or whitewater, paddle boarding adds fun and excitement to your life. When you are on a board, you simply feel great, powerful, free, in alignment, and euphoric and it seems to come with you off the water as well. We wanted this empowering, no worries feeling all the time. After capturing that life on and off the water, we we looked back on where we started and where we were going. That life we were living was NALU. It was now our mission to spread that uplifting way of life. NALU was born. The people who choose to be a part of NALU choose something more than just paddle boarding, they choose a lifestyle.
