About this listen

Tappa sits down with surfing icon and legendary shaper Murray Bourton—founder of the iconic Pipe Dream Surfboards. From the beaches of South Australia to the breaks of Bali, Murray reflects on a life carved by waves, wild adventures, and bold choices.

They talk early Gold Coast surf culture, getting drafted for Vietnam, run-ins with the law, and how a stint in jail changed his trajectory. Murray opens up about shaping boards for generations of surfers, discovering Indonesian surf spots like Uluwatu before they were famous, and why mentorship and craftsmanship still matter in today’s surf scene.

This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a raw, unfiltered story of rebellion, reinvention, and the lifelong ride that is surfing.
