Murphy Shapes on the Podium

Congratulations to team rider Lucas Foster on his recent accomplishment! Lucas killed it in the WSA West Coast Championships last weekend. He came in 2nd in Under 18 and 3rd in Open Mens Longboard. It was held at Chruches and they were getting ten-second hang tens. Scoring 9.5's in a very exciting final.

Out of Hibernation

The Caveman has come out of his cave. Here's a nice afternoon speed run by J.P. Marengo shot a few weeks ago here in San Diego. Photo credit goes to Michael Sangiolo, local photographer who captures some great coastal and lifestyle images. You can check his work out at www.sangioloimages.printroom.com

New mini Simmons'ish Fisher

This is a new quad-mini which I made for Nick a few months back. He LOVES this stick and just ordered another one for back-up so he won't have any down time! How cool to have such a stoked professional customer who knows what he wants. He's a great exec chef too. dm

Winter in Mainland

A few of the Murphy Shapes extended family members (Chris "Cabrito" Miller, Jeff "Yeff" Werbelow and Tony "Tortuga" Kendall) returned from a recent trip south of the border - where they got some fun point break and beach break. Water temp 79. Air 85.

Winter Time Six Eight

This is G4's new enzo @ 6'8". Whaddaya think?! He's our sander at Diamond Glassing and a shaper himself. He came up to the ranch to help out with this gem. This is a perfect example of when two heads are definitely better than one! Alex treated him to a dual-tone mint and smoke combo tint. It's finished in a sanded acrylic for light weight performance. The fin complement is our new 7" Flex Cutter with a pair of 2" sides for edge control in tight pockets. Come and get one while the surf is grinding. dm
