Terry martin has been the number one shaper for
Hobie surfboards since 1963 and was still shaping beautiful foam and balsa up
until his last chemo treatment. T there ia alot of info and videos of him
shaping and stories from his long passionate love of surfing and its equipment
look it up as there are not many around who have history like him and to boot ,
sadly he lost his younger sister to cancer 3 months ago approximately, who was
married to master craftsman and fin maker extrordinaire John Cherry,,,,,, Catch
a wave have a laugh be glad for today for today may be a good day to
die.....R.I.P. Terry Martin
Clarkes new board nearly done ,glassed on
handmade and foiled fin 9' 8" squaretail pig shape
A great trip lotsa waves and great to catch up
with longtime friends from the bad ol days, but ah! they were good. Here are
some shots , the wooden board is Paul Joskes" powlonia finished and surfed
and goes like a gem, the rest are in Mctavishes with Bill glassing beautiful
stuff as usual and Bobby Mac showing that he still loves me, I worked and
surfed with these guys in the 70s and early 80s and fond memories of passion
and a complete involvement with surfing remain and the passion for boards and
design still exists in a big way, the reason we have such good equipment to
ride now is because of what was done and experimented in the past ,dont forget
your roots they are your treasure trove for all your wonderful toys ...
Long may you surf.
