Seek

And yee shall find........ Here's a shot from this past weekend in San Diego. Some of the local spots were better than the others. All in all a pretty good swell. Hope you got some.

Fly Like An Eagle

Not much to really say about this shot - other than "wow". Our friend Erik Baldwin from Leucadia provides us with many ideas and fuel for the stoke. The height he has in this shot is amazing. Keep it up (pun intended).

J.P.

Long time Murphy rider, and La Jolla reef aficionado, J.P. Marengo shown here doing his thing. We will probably see more shots of him when he gets that new custom board and the Souths

finally start hitting.

Watch out for his coffee...... it's dangerous.

Quiver of the Year Goes To... Kirk Waddell

Kirk Waddell, long time lover of the Murphy Shapes, sent these shots in to us with the email below. Really cool quiver. I was blown away at how many boards he has.

If you have a quiver to beat this - let us know. So far I think this takes the cake. Enjoy.

Ed,

I was cleaning out the side yard/board storage area (the frequent flyers) and went ahead and pulled the rest out for some photos. I had to get on the 2nd story of the house to get them all in.

This is the accumlation of about 10 years with Dennis. I was used to shapers who needed a lot of direction when I first started with Dennis. Initially I'd give him pretty specific dimensions, which he'd occasionally get me to modify. Now I give him a general idea of what I want and let him have creative license. He's good and doesn't need my help! All the boards were new except the 10'er which was new, but in the used rack at a local shop. I couldn't stand the idea of someone else getting it, so now I have it. This is what I have now. If I had photos of all the boards I've gotten from Dennis in 10 years you'd need more memory on your computer.

Left to right. 9'competitor squash tail , 9' competitor squash tail (the clear one's a duplicate as I liked the green one so much I was afraid to be without one), 9' deeper V double barrel channel bottom round pin, 9' roundpin with a bonzer style bottom and fins, 9'2" RPNR (round pin nose rider) a Murphy standard, 9'2" RPNR resin tinted gloss polish finish, 9'3" Model "E" w/ 2 tone resin tint gloss polish finish developed by Dennis with Eric Sommer who moved on to work with Donald, 9'4" Predator gloss polish resin tint with swirl deck, 9'6" California Classic Resin tint w/resin swirl deck glass on fin and no leash plug, 10' triple stringer (1/4" redwood) volan glass heavy weight. My SS Murphy. On the ground. 7'3"quad egg, 7'10" bonzer style, 7'6" Enzo (pulled in egg), 7'9" squash "california gun" 7'5" pintail.


Included a few random shots of board detail just for fun.

Enjoy, Kirk/Catfish/ or Poodle.....depending on which beach I'm at that day

Needed Relief

Raise your hand if you are getting tired, and bored, with small, dribbling lefts in SD.
Wow, that's a lot of hands.

Here are a few shots of Kirk Waddell in the Central Coast; and it's a right! So maybe it was taken earlier in the year, but we all need to remember what a real wave looks like. And have something to look forward to.
Mother Nature: please send some our way.

Sincerely,
Semi-Depressed in San Diego

"He Walk's On Water"

Mike 9:2

Found this old magazine in the stacks. Classic shot of Mike Myers in trim at his home reef in La Jolla. Mike has surfed Dennis' boards for a long time and was one of Murphy's top team riders when Iron Cross was blowing up.

Mira La Rubia

Meet Devyn Solo from Del Mar- newest Murphy team member........ is it so wrong that she likes sand crabs more than a 9'-O" Comp?
