Made for Pipe But Never Made It


This is an amazing story. This is from Murphy's archives. It's a circa 1970 Nectar single fin that when he was  glasser and half owner of Nectar they made it to surf pipe. The trip was set and then suddenly Puerto Escondido was discovered. Apparently when that happened the boys decided to head south and avoid the crowd.

The board, never ridden, got stashed and ended up in a PB bar for 15 years. Finally the board made it back to Dennis and it now sits on his wall. It has never touched water.

Beautiful. Enjoy.
