Central California

We recently received a nice photo of Kirk Waddell from Morro Bay, California. He also sent us a quick story on his relationship with Murphy Surfboards. We look forward to more surfing photos and shots of his quiver.

I came in contact with Dennis Murphy about 10 years ago. My good friend Steve Hennigh owns Good Clean Fun surfshop in Cayucos. I got Dennis connected with Steve and it turned into a great relationship for all involved. I rarely paddle out without seeing someone else on a Murphy, usually one I brought up to boot! In those 10 or so years I've probably ordered 40 boards from Dennis. Right now I think I have 16 of his boards. You name it, I've got it. From just basic longboards to bonzerstyles to beautiful resin tint projects.

Viti Levu

South Seas Paradise........ Chris Miller has recently returned from yet another jaunt to the Southern Hemisphere and the Fijian Islands. While recovering from jet lag and societal shock, he was able to send us a few photos. He promises to send more upon his full recovery.

Real weather, real rain and really nice.

Balsa Quad Slideshow

       

Here are a bunch of photos from the making of the Murphy Balsa Quad that won Best of Show. I threw them together and made a quickie slideshow. It gives you a good feel for how it was made. Enjoy.
