Joshua Martin – Martin Shapes, Handcrafted Family

Joshua Martin makes things with his hands. His father also made things with his hands. Surfboards to be more precise. Terry Martin is a noted shaper in the surfing world, working for Hobie Alter. His application? a finished surfboard.

Joshua learned at a variety of surf shops throughout the years, working with his dad, and eventually realizing an innate sense for the shapes of things.

Joshua, with the lessons from his father he's created his own business, Martin Shapes, and boy does he make incredible things. From Chopsticks to surfboards, Joshua's creative mind is always working.

This is Joshua's first appearance on the Break It Down Show. Pete A Turner is traveling a short distance to Joshua's world on the coast of California.
