As you as have probably have heard, Terry Martin passed away recently .
I got to know Terry back in1975, when he hired me as a shaper and an airbrush artist at Hobie Surfboards.
I worked for a few years at Hobie, and in 1977 I went independent and started my own label.
The business grew and in the mid ’90s, Hobie asked if I wanted to do the manufacturing of Hobie Surfboards. I called Terry and hired him as a shaper, along with Phil Edwards. We also began building boards for Mickey Munoz and Herbie Fletcher. Terry worked at Stewart Surfboards for about 14 years.
