There is new, additional evidence that the "Sandwich Island Girl" may have existed and surfed Asbury Park, New Jersey, in the summer of 1888. Please visit the updated chapter, especially the later section with the updates from 2017 and 2018:

Nick Gabaldon (1927-1951)
I've wanted to write about Nick and add his story to the LEGENDARY SURFERS collection for a long time.
Over the decades since his death, there's been a good deal of folklore added to Nick's history as a surfer. Wanting to get it straight, myself, I've done my own research and this is the result.
I hope Nick's story inspires you as it has many others.
Aloha,
Aloha,
