excellent read on murray bourtons web site - tom curren destroying big hinakos on a tommy Peterson fireball fish.......meanwhile the webber-merrick battle continues with narrow wafer banana rockered boards and how in the early 1990s the average surfers surfing went pretty much backwards, struggling for flotation e.tc. looking back fuck I struggled on the Arabian slipper nosed wafers....at a guess the average surfers board now has 3 to 5 ltrs more foam, well worth a read. the pipedream glider fish.

Was fortunate enough to pick up one of his own boards inthe mid seventies. Had it stored in a stretch board bag in the rafters at the shack alongside several current shapes, when you looked at the array of boards MPs plan shape for himself was so far ahead of his time.
