terry martin.

it was a shame to hear that terry martin passed away the other day. a big loss for the surfing world. i am thankful that i had the opportunity to meet him last july. i will not pretend like i knew him, or knew him well. i will say that during our brief encounter he was warm, kind and possessed a sense of charm that seems to have been lost with most of my generation. rest in peace.

everyday.

well, almost.

9'6'' one fin pin.

the one fin pin is the result of a collaboration between surfer/shaper tyler warren and shaper terry martin. beautiful double stringer, piggish, single fin nose rider with wide point pulled back. nice and heavy for lots of glide. and a pintail to facilitate almost effortless cutbacks.

vern gifted me this bad boy for my birthday this feb. i was floored. in addition to a bitchin' party, i received this beauty. hands down one of the nicest, most thought out gifts i've ever received. i have had a blast on this thing. riding it almost exclusively since (in part because its been flat but mostly because its such a fun board to surf). im very happy with my hobie.

 

i'd never ridden a pintail longboard, nor a board with the wide point back of center. it felt a little squirrely/ shakey at first when walking, but i've adjusted and come to like it. especially on cut backs. the board comes around suprisingly quick for its size.
