Chapped Lipz

Nice smackage of one La Jolla lip under the August sun. That's a lot of board poppin out the back of the wave while the fins are just holding in. I like what's going on in this photo. Jean-Paul punching the clock for the afternoon shift.

Mainland and Murphy's:

A group of the Murphy boyz recently returned from a week-long excursion to Mainland Mex. Without getting into every detail and over analysis, we will let the pictures do the talking.

complEggity

6'-2" x 2.5" disc/eggy thing for Jason Werbelow from Carlsbad. He took a couple of different ideas and fused them into this custom board. It has a wing flowing into a semi fish-like tail. Should work well for him here in the North County waves. Future fins with a custom FCS plug/mount up near the nose for his GoPro camera. Send us some shots Jason.

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!
