Oh Captain Our Captain
There's a special rockstar who lives in Richmond, VA and brightens the day of countless people who have the pleasure of knowing him...
Informally known as "Captain Tom" to many of us, Tom tirelessly cruises down the James River for hours on end, and ensures that during the hot summer months, anybody who has ever even looked at a wakeboard is given the opportunity to hop on his boat, strap on a board and glide on water! A natural host and patient coach, he is the driving force and largest contributor to most of our wakeboarding careers (of course, aided by the talented "Coach Brian Brown")!
His love for active, healthy lifestyles is infectious and you can be sure that if he's not out on his boat, Tom will be pulling a group together to go rock-climbing, ride motocross, play volleyball, or maybe have an impromptu foam-wrestling match in the backyard!
So, I say we all take a public moment to go back to January 13 and send Captain Murphy a round of HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes and golden cosmic energy. And if you're ever on the James River, look for the boat full of shiny, happy people... it'll undoubtedly be Tom's.

Mr. Murphy, happy (belated) birthday! Wish we could have been there to usher in a new happy year for ya. These pics bring a huge smile to my face! I regularly look out our window at the Thames and think, "now if only Tom were here with his boat..." Here's to you my friend (raising a large, frothy English pint of fruit juice into the air)!
