Shaun Murray is a household name within the wakeboard industry. Seriously, he’s not only been around for a while, but continues to play a key role in the industry, whether it’s in his impressive contest showings or simply serving as an ambassador to the sport, Shaun will go down as one of the legends of wakeboarding.

Murray’s latest plan further reinforces the creativity and drive that has kept him at the top of the industry for so long. Although it can certainly be attributed as a genius marketing idea, Murray and Hyperlite are teaming up to replicate the inspiring story of the popular movie Pay It Forward. In the wakeboard version, Murray will be boxing up three of his brand new pro-models, and shipping each one out to one lucky person to ride for a couple of days. The details are still developing, but however it works out, this should be a great opportunity for more people to try a new and innovative wakeboard, while at the same time spreading some wakeboard stoke.

Stay tuned for the details, along with instructions on how you can catch a ride on the 2008 Hyperlite Murray. The only catch is, you’ve gotta pay it forward when your turn is over.
