Tom Morey

Today on The Still Point Tapes, we hear from a true original, Tom Morey. Best known as the inventor of the Boogie Board, Tom was much more than a surfing innovator. He was a jazz musician, a mathematician, a spiritual seeker, and a restless experimenter whose ideas shaped surf culture in ways most riders don’t even realize.In this rare interview, recorded almost two decades ago, Tom reflects on wave-riding as a cosmic dance, on surfing as both engineering and intuition, and on his deep belief in the ocean as a form of intelligence. From foam to faith, invention to improvisation, this is Tom Morey, unfiltered, unexpected, and unforgettable.
