Longboard Cowboy

Remember what it was like when you were a grommet, learning to surf and were excited beyond words? Oh what a feeling! The feller on the left is cowboy Dan. Neighbor and good friend to the Murphy's up at the ranch. Riding a classic Murphy longboard, Dan caught the best waves of his life at Torrey Pines this past week. Way to go Dan! Look for more of Dan in future posts.

If you can rope a steer, break a horse and ride a buckin bronco, surfing ain't that hard. Plus, the landing is much softer.

Balanced Quiver


It's nice to have a few board options in your garage as the conditions change. Here's a shot of Jason Werbelow's Murphy quiver. J lives in Carlsbad, but can be spotted gliding all over North County. He can ride just about anything. If you see a guy riding a barn door, and making the section, odds are it's him.
