| 释义 |
Martin grew up inland and was not exposed to surfing until later into his life. At the age of 14, his family moved to Point Loma. His first board was {{convert|13|ft}} long and weighed {{convert|85|lb}}. At the time surfboards were over {{convert|80|lb}}, and tended to be very long.[2] Martin graduated from Point Loma high school. He served in the Air Force Reserves, and worked in construction, in shipbuilding, and as a door to door salesman. In 1963, he joined Hobie Alter in his Hobie Surf Shop.[3] The first board Martin created was a {{convert|10|ft|adj=on}} board made out of lighter balsa wood and redwood that he had salvaged from a lumber yard. This board weighed only {{convert|20|lb}}. It also had no fin, which allowed Martin to do tricks and moves that other surfers weren’t able to do. Martin shaped an average of 10 boards a day. He was given the nickname “The Machine.” Over a span of six decades, he created around 80,000 surfboards. He created signature boards for Gary Propper, Corky Carroll, Gerry Lopez, Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew and Joyce Hoffman.[4] The last board he made was a {{convert|10|ft|adj=on}} balsa and redwood Hot Curl. This was a replica of the a board he had made when younger. Martin died of melanoma on May 12, 2012.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Carroll|first=Corky|title=Martin greatest of all shapers|url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/terry-354992-martin-years.html|accessdate=May 19, 2012|newspaper=The Orange County Register|date=May 19, 2012|authorlink=Corky Carroll|pages=Local 1, 3}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=CONNELLY|first=LAYLAN CONNELLY|title=Iconic surfboard shaper Terry Martin dies|url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/martin-353907-board-water.html}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Anton|first=Mike|title=Terry Martin dies at 74; legendary surfboard shaper|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/23/local/la-me-terry-martin-20120523}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Anton|first=Mike|title=Terry Martin dies at 74; legendary surfboard shaper|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/23/local/la-me-terry-martin-20120523}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last=Pezman|first=Steve|title=in Memoriam: Terry Martin|journal=The Surfer's Journal|url=http://www.surfersjournal.com/journal_entry/memoriam-terry-martin|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617182354/http://www.surfersjournal.com/journal_entry/memoriam-terry-martin|archivedate=2012-06-17|df=}} External links
