The Benefit for Terry Martin

The benefit for dear Terry Martin and his family was an outpouring of love from the surfing community. Mahalo nui loa to all. What a blessed evening! Aloha.

Terry's Ford Van and many other treasures were auctioned to help

We were very honored that my portrait of Terry — Off the Light was auctioned in the live auction, and raised $1200 for Terry's family. Mahalo!

Thank you Terry for sharing your kindness and wisdom . . . much love to you and your family always.

From the memorial program: “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26

“The legacy of Terry’s life stands as a grand adventure. He lived a life full of God’s love for people; he lived it full of passion.”

Rest in Peace, Terry Martin

Terry Martin: Of the Light

On early Saturday morning May 12, dear Terry Martin peacefully went to heaven to be with the Lord.

Terry began surfing and making his first surfboards near the Cliffs in Point Loma in the 1950s. He went on to shape for Hobie for over 40 years. “My objective is to make someone happy in the water,” said Terry Martin.

Terry was an inspiring, kind man and mentor to many. He shared this scripture when we talked last. We will always remember his kind example.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,

whose confidence is in him.

8 They will be like a tree planted by the water

that sends out its roots by the stream.

It does not fear when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought

and never fails to bear fruit.”

Terry Martin 1937-2012

There will be a memorial service for Terry on Friday, May 18th at 6:30 PM at Capo Beach Calvary in Capistrano Beach, please come to say goodbye to dear Terry. Your prayers for Candy, David, Josh and Johanna are greatly appreciated at this time.

On Sunday, May 20th from 5-9 PM at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point will be a celebration of Terry’s life and his legacy, The Terry Martin Project event,” A Body of Work From Wood to Foam”. This event is a LIVE and silent auction fundraiser hosted by the Sport of Kings Foundation that will provide support to the Martin Family.

God bless you Terry. May you rest in God’s loving peace and grace.

Love, Cher and Steve

Love the sunshine!

Hi there! This morning we were treated to a crystal clear sunrise, and fun little waves. The sunshine is welcome after the days of dense marine layer and over cast skies on the coast. Paddling out for a wave, we appreciated every sparkle of the dancing sunlight on the water. There is a front approaching and rain is predicted for tomorrow. We hope that you have a great day!
Aloha and Cowa-flexit, Cher and Steve

Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, thank you.
