RIP TERRY MARTIN

Devastated to to hear the sad news of Terry Martin’s passing today. It is only 6 months ago we spent some time with him talking story and watching him shape, in his super duper shaping bay at the Hobie shop at Dana Point. He was such a kind and generous man. He will be sadly missed, the surfing industry has lost a top guy.

“My goal is to make people happy in the water…” Terry Martin

Rob has been scoring waves at Malibu, San O and Swamis the last few days. He just phoned and said he had an all-time surf at Malibu with JJ Wessels… Wish we were getting some waves back here. Maybe soon…

If so, check out these super clean shapes. With maximum drive off the tail, not even a hint of nose concave to disturb the water flow and a simple understated aesthetic, how could you not love them. 2 boards left in stock but be quick, they are selling like hot cakes!
