One night whilst laying in bed, i had a vision. sorta like feild of dreams. anyway it was the channeling of an old spirit wanting me to utilise the soul of a broken longboard. or at least the idea of taking the front half of a tanker, and creating a tiny little vessel that screams!
I immediatly i thought of Dennis Murphy, and his lineage of longboard expertice. So i called him and told him about my crazy thoughts. He was totally down! infact i think he was stoked to open a new realm of what i like to call "plug style" boards and designs. I felt that his interpritation would be along the same line as what i had invisioned, and he was the man to embrace the idea! I would be stoked to see this take off and open a new demographic of customers to MURPHEY Surfboards. To me its a style that Dennis would have a natural instinct for. So keep your eyes peeled in the near future for More distinctive Murphy Shred sleds!
The whole proccess was alot of fun! I gathered together all the ideas and refined my choice to this outline. Dennis then went to work planing the rough cut and fundamentals of the board. Then the finishing details were in my hands! The concept was really something that i had never Shaped before, but it came together better than i could have imagined! Single concave to vee out the tail! WOW! I cant wait to get it in the water!
I cant wait for my 5'9" moon plug. Great vision Erik. Keep pushin it.
