RIP Terry Martin.

Very sad news reached us that Terry Martin , mastershaper for Hobie , had lost his battle against cancer and passed a way peacfully at home on May 12th. Terry was an inspiration to many shapers , surfers and friends and has shaped over 80,000 boards since 1963 . Before that he was shaping out of his garage since he was 14 years old . Terry's moto was " My objective is to make someone happy in the water " and that he did for over 50 years , me being one of them . i'm sure when he met St Peter at the pearly gates he had a board order thrust into his hand and he picked up a planer straight away .
