R.I.P. Terry Martin

"We have lost a legend..." in, Wooden Surfboards

Daniel Costa - "The Southern California shaping world has lost one of its forefathers today with the death of beloved Dana Point shaper Terry Martin. Martin shaped surfboards for more than 60 years, most of them with Hobie Surfboards, before losing his battle with melanoma at the age of 74. He will be missed." in, The Retro Movement

Tribute to Terry Martin by Tyler Manson and Tyler Warren


a brief history: TERRY MARTIN from Tyler Manson on Vimeo.
Terry Martin's first encounters with surfing, shaping and crashing motorcycles.

"Terry Martin is probably the best shaper to ever live. Considering he has hand shaped over 80,000 boards in his lifetime for people such as Gerry Lopez, Phil Edwards, Shawn Stussy, Hobie, Dale Velzy, Stewart and many more. Terry saw the evolution of the surfboard first hand through the shaping bay from wood to light foam. He could make anything and it would work, whether it was a modern shortboard or noserider. He understood water flow and what a surfboard needs to do - to make a surfer have fun. He was the Santa Claus of shaping, joyfully hand making all his toys for his children. Terry, you will be missed by many."

RETO | Hollow Wood Surfboard by Bjorn Holm

Bjorn Holm sent me by email this teaser photo of his 6'4" Fish Wood Surfboard made of old broken skateboards.

The photo is from Bjorn's exhibition, last friday.

Bjorn sent to me via: tiago.reis78@gmail.com

"My name is Björn Holm and I live in Finland. For the last 4 months I have been shaping a hollow woodsurfboard.

The surfboard that I have been making is a 6'4 fish, and its made from old broken skateboards that i have collected from all around Finland. The fins are made from a nose and tail from a skateboard. I started making the board from my own skateboards, but I realized that I needed more boards. My friends have given me their old boards so thats been really sweet! I have also collected boards from all around Finland.

It has taken me 4 months to make this, and its my examwork in my school where I study furniture and graphic design. The board is hollow, weights 10 Kg and its made 100% from old broken skateboards, there is no other material in it.

I got my first skateboard when I was a kid, and snowboarding and surfing came after, I have also been riding Freestyle motocross as a "pro" the last 10 years, which means I have been travelling all around scandinavia and europe. So the last 10 years my time mostly went to riding my motocrossbike, but the board has always been with me!

The name "RETO" is short for "REcycle for TOmorrow" and in our language here in the swedish part of finland, it means "something thats broken"

HAND MADE

" Look what the tide dragged in, one Mr. Jeff McCallum. After getting his fair share of waves during the first major swell of the season, Jeff went on the hunt. He was looking for Deus, curious to emerge himself in this Narnia type spot settled amongst the paddy fields in Canggu. And,we’re lucky he did. Jeff hails from the San Diego area where he shapes surfboards under his own label “McCallum”, hence one of his interests in finding “The Temple”. It just so happened that we had two blanks laying around with his name on them, well… now they do. When new shapers come to Deus there is always a bit of a buzz rolling around “The Temple”, a) … View More"

Recycling a Surfboard by The Driftwood Collective

Recycling a Surfboard from pedro vieira on Vimeo.
Drawing inspiration from Tyler Warren's Bar of Soap, DwC hit the shaping room to make some dust!

Apart from resins and fiber clothes all material came from the trash bin:a broken and long forgotten longboard provided the foam and a wooden wine box turned into a couple of sexy fins.

The result is a green awkward looking little board... but make no mistake! this board is a supersonic joy machine set to make up for each minute we spent on its recovering.

Love draws Love!!!
