23rd May 2012
Terry has obviously left a lasting impact on our community and lives. We’ll all get through this together and in the water surfing. He will forever be in our hearts, and his cheerful grin stained into our minds forever. RIP Terry Martin, you were an inspiration to us all.
Today a most formidable man
passed away.
The most formidable.
Why is everything
so merciless?
Why are we endowed with
such tremendous capacity
for grief?
Why are the most ecstatic feelings
so deeply intertwined with
heartbreak?
How can one man
be this important?
To so many.
To you.
And to someone
as barren as me.
If I add up the total amount
of hours
that we actually spent together
I will hardly get to 20.
But from the first instant
I knew.
And the next hours
only confirmed it.
I had been touched
by an energy beyond the range of others.
One of those very few people
in a generation
capable of transcending
the barriers
the prejudice
the pettiness
of us humans.
Someone you instantly trust
with your life.
Someone you instantly share
your weakness with
knowing you will not be betrayed.
Someone who captures
the essence of life, love and togetherness
better than most.
Someone that has felt
the way we are all connected
and interdependent
for his entire life.
To whom it was the most natural
of feelings.
Who could make
and help you
forgive yourself.
And make you feel like
you truly want to change
the somber thoughts you carry.
You have loosened the roots
of my bitterness.
And have given me the strength
to pull them.
One day at a time.
But steadfast.
What stronger beacon
can anyone wish for?
But the one that emanates
from the heart and soul of a laughter
like yours.
I will miss the hugs from a man
that had enough love to inspire us all.
To bring us closer together.
And to show us a true spirituality
that is only seen in those that understand
the underlying balance.
Far, far greater than any word or gesture
or life.
We are all eternal
but some lead the way.
It’s great to see you, Terry.
Without the delay of time zones.
Without the distance of continents.
Without any obstacles.
without a doubt, one of the most kind human beings on the planet. his smile and laughter are contagious and his eyes sparkle with stoke. he’s influenced me in so many ways and i have more respect for this man than anyone else. we are truly blessed to have such a rad guy in our lives. you’re the man terry. keep on keepin on buddy!

Respect to one bad ass slider. We all learned a lot from this guy.. Morning of the Earth was freakin epic. Rest in peace Michael Peterson.
A cut from the most incredible surf movie I have ever seen, Seaworthy by Nathan Oldfield. Surfing means different things to different people. For many, it’s an escape from the world and it’s mysterious ways of testing us. Some people go through so much and the only way of letting it out and finding some sort of peace is to get out in the ocean and catch a couple. Surfing isn’t going to fix your problems, and it might not change anything, but it makes a massive difference that only a surfer would understand. It puts us in the right mind-frame and keeps us going. In this piece, Mr. Oldfield displays his point-of-view on the very thing that our life revolves around, in words that puts goosebumps on any persons skin. With vivid imagery, powerful words, and a story that will creep into your heart, this video is a must see. Enjoy and embrace your connection with the sea, and find out why you really do what you do.

SEE YOUR SEA
