Hobie Heart: The Terry Martin Legacy “Shaping Life”

This is all you really need to know… a film Donny made of Terry over a year of Fridays. All the life lessons are here.

“T. Martin lived a life deserving of honor. From an early age he realized what he was gifted with and kept things simple. His focused perspective on what really mattered never changed as his impact on this world and in our hearts and lives was felt beyond measure of the some 80,000 surfboards he is said to have made.
I was honored to know Terry well and gained so much from his companionship, inspiration, tutelage and now continue to draw from the legacy that he created. God was the main ingredient in his life and he followed his ways and served Him with out abandon. At age 74, after passing away from a struggle with cancer, he did not lose his soul in the process of trying to gain the world.
This film came about by wanting to remember as much as I could of his focus and priorities. In the process, I gleaned from pearls of wisdom I knew would be freely shared. God had a great way of showing up every Friday morning when we got together for a period over a year, talking story and making things.
This film is dedicated to the Martin family and all those who knew Terry and are suffering in the void of his loss. Prayers go out toward Candy and the loss of her lover, our leader and forever everyone’s legend.” -Donny Brink

He showed us to find something you are good at and that you love, then stick with it and perfect it. Each one of us has something unique to only us that were are masters in waiting at.

For what should it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul in the process…
