Old and Brown: But Still inTown

Was at a garage sale in Point Loma awhile back and this guy had a back yard strewn with all kinds of old boards, watercraft and boating stuff. It was really quite an interesting scene. Off in the corner I spotted this old, brown Iron Cross that Dennis shaped back in the 90's. Looks like it could have been a team riders board, maybe Meyers... maybe 98 model. She was sun damaged, a little hard around the edges, but she still had a pulse.

A Couple More from that Day

That's what Aaron Goulding wrote to J.P. when he sent along these photos. I wish "that day" would come again, and soon. It's still FLAT here in San Diego with otherwise good surfing conditions (light wind, sun, etc.) I'm always amazed, and a bit dumb founded, as how the Pacific Ocean has this fetch of Thousands of miles and does not generate a thigh-high wave to ride. Hopefully this post will change that!

Jen's New Board

This summer Andre Bukich and his lovely wife Jen came in to order a new Comp model for her. Notice the super-custom logos. That was the first time that I met her, but Andre and I are old friends from the glass-shop formerly known as PSG. It's always great to re-connect with my old surf buddies and likewise pleasing to see how they've grown in life. Andre is doing very well with his own business and family. Brodie is a future Murphy rider to be sure. Thanks Jen for finding our 'Boyshop' . He's a great guy!! Muchos Aloha, Dennis



I wanna ride Momma's board!

Fur real dawg?!

The Waiting Period

J.P. Marengo lives in La Jolla California. He likes to hunt. Big waves. He's getting ready to kill something - he likes game from the North/West angle. Right now it's cold. Flat. Here's his new gun (The Longun) custom built by Dennis. It's locked and loaded. The 8'-6" pintail is loaded with glass-on fins. No BS'ing around when it's time. He keeps waiting. Patiently.
