Coming up with new ideas for surfboard design is just part of the process. The next step is to put the ideas into practice and confirm they work. Murray tests his new designs himself. As a result, most of the boards listed at this site are his personal boards made to his specs. He is always churning out new models and ideas & cant keep them all. Dig around in his treasure trove.
You never know what you’ll find.
