Murphy Boys: South of the Border

A group of the Murphy boys just returned from a week long trip to Mainland Mex.
Here's what they got - every day they were there! Nice indeed.
This shot is just a teaser of more shots forthcoming on a post later this week.
Stay tuned.....

Freeze Frame

Like this water shot as it really captures what we see when we are paddling over a set wave and peek to the left to see what the rider is doing. Pretty cool with the little pieces of seaweed/eel grass in the lip too.

Botox Lips

photo: Mike Sangiolo
Some lips are wafer thin. Some lips are soft and mushy. Some lips are small and chapped. But this lip shown in this photo is on roids or just got a huge botox injection in mid July prior to breaking on this local shelf. All I know is that the lips in Leucadia and Del Mar do not come close to looking like these. J.P. - in the right place at the right time. again............... You are the Man!

Summer SD Style

This guy logs more water time than a Children's Pool seal. And gets better waves than 98.5% of us humanoids.

Final Chapter

Part two in a series of only two. Here's how JP's floater ended. I'm not sure if the barnz pony tail got in the way or if he was just it utter shock before blue impact. I will have to check with JP to see if there is an epilogue.

Here's a recent July sequence of Jean Paul in his backyard in La Jolla. Nice bottom turn into a floater/off-the-top. But wait........ who is this barney with the ponytail?!! Check back tomorrow for the final chapter and epilogue.
