Shaun Murray | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 18

[@BraydenGeorge]

Can you please add a milk review segment. Watching wake legends compare whole and 2% would be incredible

[@grabmatters]

You've had a lot of good ideas, this one might be the best though

The House of Style is a humble, amazing dude who has paid it forward time and time again. We have had the pleasure of being to his house a couple of times, and we can’t say enough good things about his hospitality, kindness, and generosity. And I’m sure he’s already thought about it but I know a lot of us would like to see you two. Get behind that G 23 and have some fun.

Shaun Murray is definitely the best water-sports human on the planet. Taught me how to my first 3 on a wake surf board in like 30-seconds (almost 20-years ago). And he was so patient with all of the kids that came out. So happy the sport is still good to him.

I got lessons from Murray earlier this year and what a blast, very cool experience and tons of knowledge transfer. Very much agree with slowing down. I never ride more than 21 mph at 65' and 90% of the time I ride at 19.5 mph 60'. I am learning at 35 vs knowing how and maintaining, and the impact is far less. At my age, I can't risk an injury that will prevent me from working. With modern wakeboats and boards you can still generate huge wakes at that speed. I don't think you can throw double flips, but skills like 720's, crow mobes, whirlybird, kage, are all able to be done at that speed. In my opinion slowing it down works for a huge majority of people while still giving yourself a ton of room to grow.

Might be my new favorite pod cast!

I was just re-watching this awesome video from David OC riding double with Shaun Murray, toward the end he says “if there was a double riding competition we’d be the dream team”. Makes me think that it could be a great fun new type of contest that could be organized. Events a bit different from others such as less than 5 contest or small wake contest seem to be very successful. A double riding contest could be a great idea.

[@grabmatters]

definitely a sick idea!

Watching this episode again and Shaun got 5th in his first PWT finals in 1995 in Portland. And the next weekend in Seattle, Gator actually did really bad in the finals. He fell on his first trick on both passes and scored a "0". So maybe Shaun got in his head a little with the "fins backwards" joke, haha!

[@fredericintx]

What a dude, Murray seems like a great person. Shouts out to Dean Lavelle too. Really good episode.

[@stephenpliler5983]

What an awesome dude. Keep this thing going.

[@LifetimeShred]

I need to hunt down a working xbox with Unleashed. Great interview!

[@grabmatters]

such a good game!

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

I remember Mark Baxter won the Collegiate Trick Ski Nationals while riding his Fulltilt with no fins back in the late 90's. I think he won it once or twice.

The Byerly video game you guys mentioned actually had a playable demo at Surf Expo one year(around 03/04, I think) and was being developed by the team that made the first Amped game on Xbox.

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

Here's the link to the video of Shaun riding behind the inflatable Zodiac at the 1998 Joe Cuervo Board to Board Challenge after the Mastercraft broke down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHzdmJl6rpqgopI

[@grabmatters]

Still some solid tricks for a dingy 🤣

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

@@grabmatters More than solid, and in rough salt water no less.

[@richardkovak6971]

I worked on the Xbox game with PB and Scott

[@hoodedcobra1531]

You need to get Gator in for a podcast let him tell his story

[@chadkarecki9496]

Kinda wished you went more into video parts with Shaun. IE favorite part he's filmed, is he going to do another one any time?
