Finding soul in the shape

Terry Martin has been handcrafting surfboards since 1963. As machines take over, the Dana Point legend fears the art is a dying wave.

In the making

good article, though i could’ve done without the rhetoric from our good friend Matt

Both exciting and depressing at the same time - sentiments we’re seeing/have been seeing for some time now…

Does make me want to go do some shaping though. I think I will…

Thanks e-pac

Pete

Biolos has no place in that article at all. His words are bad, too.

I did not know Pezman rode a Surftech either. Why not handmade EPS?

Thanks epac

soul in shape…

what it was…

What it has become…

I took my 5y/o daughter to see the movie Oneula…have you seen it?

There’s a moral to the story I think you, of all people, would appreciate.

(Judging books by the cover is rarely appropriate).

Soul in objects is in the eye of the beholder.

I just realized…

sofa cushions are also made of polyurethane…

and are sometimes utilized/shaped by skilled craftsmen furniture makers…

so by the same logic, sofa cushions have soul.

a buddy just sent me this link, I was really surprised to see Biolos in there.

btw, Who is “PEZ”??

A humped sofa cushion

has more soul than

an un humped one.

so by that admission to

sophicidian hog farts

then soul is simply

the human applied concern.

terry martin cares about something

shaping bitchin boards.

I aint gonna read this artickle

unless it’s gonna make me feel better.

I can read stuff any where to make me feel worse

the news screen that comes up on safari or firefix

goes off on a bombing ,or a pardon or a v.p. shooting

I would like to read a sentence that says theres hope

with out a commercial hype tag line superimposed

somebody that just cares is a rare thing

somebody that shapes a bitchin board

is getting more rare .who said that

hear the echo?

no not echo echo evho

its hand shaping is going away

is going away

away

away

way

ay ?

aye aye maties you are the not fade away guys

wether you paint marvin gaye on the deck

or fredrick douglas

or jennefer pennybacker

or just tweetie

it is a sign that you care about

your relationship to things in your life

hump your couch

shape a board

paint a cartoon on your surph tacky

soul you got it or you dont.

maybe I will read the …

maybe I wont.

mebe I’ll shape the swaylocks raffle blank I won two years ago

and travel board it.

who got soul?

james brown

the right revrend ray

aretha

they cared about a lyric they were singing

get soul

dont be a plastic popout bobble head

wave hog photo op mother abuser…

care about what the pok

…ambrose…

why doesnt roy take over this thread

mebe he sold his soul

and he/s still waiting for the check.

it’s in the mail.

the point is that it’s become a CGI Animation based reality

just like the machine versus handshaped.

It doesn’t have to be Disney hand drawn versus CGI created…

But you’re right just like Lilo and Stitch, its the heart of the story not the graphics that gives it soul…

From first hand experience that wooden icon shown as the past that some revere has as many flaws as anything else.

It’s the Keiki that will need to sort out the icons of the past to find the truth in their innocent eyes.

I love all the disney animation stuff I’ve seen from the day I saw first saw Bambi

You wouldn’t be a true waterman if the heart behind such stories imagined or not didn’t affect you…

surfs up was a good movie…i went with my girlfriend…its the animated north shore…who can argue with the morals behind that?
