Murray Bourton first picked up a planer back in 1970 and has not turned it off since. He has seen the evolution of surfboard design from almost the beginning and his knowledge in hydrodynamics through trial and error over the last 35 years is second to none. Many well known top shapers like Darren Handley (DHD), Jason Stephenson (JS) and his son Skye Bourton (On Fire), owe their starts to Murray Bourton.
Murray Bourton started Pipedream surfboards in 1976, and his shapes are well known and represented not only on the Gold Coast, but all around the world. The famous Coolangatta Pipedream store has always been a favourite hang out for local and visiting surfers, where Murray Bourton is often seen in store sharing his many years of design experience.
Now 30 years later Murray Bourton has released Bourton Shapes, as a re-invention of Pipedream. Bourton Shapes are top end, high performance surfboards while Pipedream surfboards are still available, they will remain an entry-level and more affordable surfboard brand. There are also a great range of Pipedream Retro boards on offer, that are exact replicas of models that Murray Bourton used to shape back in the 70's and 80's.
His versatility from Indo guns to tow boards ridden by Tony Ray and Ross Clarke Jones and his cutting edge contest boards ridden by the hot young guns Troy Brooks, Luke Munro, Ry Craike, Jarrad Sullivan and Lee Wilson, leave no questions asked of Murray Bourton's commitment to modern short board design.
Add to the mix a creative passion for hybrid design where old Ideas get blended with new giving birth to some tripped out but functional alternative designs illustrates he has all bases covered.
