Torren Martyn - TESORO ENTERRADO - needessentials

Torren Martyn describes how this surf film came about.
"The little mission down south to warm water came around as a bit of a surprise to me too, I’d originally planned to just spend a week or two with my girlfriend Aiyana in California and pictured surfing knee to waist high Malibu at best.
One idea led to another as most good times do and before we really knew it Aiyana and I were rolling south of where we were currently camped out driving in awe through these beautiful snow capped mountains in the Eastern Sierras on a pretty straight mission south to a serious contrast of scenes, we were pretty excited!
A good mate Perry Gershkow was able to juggle a few commitments around up in his neck of the woods of SF and before we really had too much time to think we kind of just woke up the next day deep in central America, it was a classic little scenario.
I was travelling with two surf boards, a 7’2 and a 6’10. It’s so rare that I break a board, maybe one or two a year? anyhow I managed to break them both in the first couple of days.I guess I was rattled and disheartened when the first broke and then when the second went, I was kind of just baffled like haha really? luckily the local guys there have probably stitched together more boards than anyone anywhere else in the world so it was a pretty efficient little turn around, I was so grateful for that. Thankfully my mate Luke lent me his little 5’7 and a 4’11 for a little wiggle in between.
The waves we had down there were absolutely incredible, sort of mind boggling at times. It’s humbling the energy in the ocean and the way the sand and currents dictated where and what waves we surfed. They were there one day and gone the next. I think that was the beauty of it too, we didn’t really have any expectations or too much of a plan, things just fell in to place and I wouldn’t change a thing.
For me it was one of those spontaneous experiences made up of the combination of good people, the land, weather and a little luck on our side that are a friendly little reminder of just how lucky we all are to have this to share.

[@Rich2487]

I took acid tonight and watched this... thanks. The music with the way he stands on those waves it's just pure grace. Even if i stop the video, I can still see the water moving. The ocean..., what a place on earth...

[@kellymahoney3847]

Thanks for not taking us through the airport. Just great music and surf

[@mouloudmouloud2894]

Ahahaha!!! True

[@surfersofvietnam]

JOB style? haha

[@reeld99]

ya,, incredible how many airports, boats and cars we have to get thru until they surf

[@LuLzPhrolic]

Preach tho who the hell cares ab their travel influencer vibes

[@stevebeyatte]

I dunno, now I'm not sure how he got there...

[@tomryan9412]

I know this is video is sponsored by a gear brand, but it I appreciate how much less commercial the focus is compared to a typical surf film. No stickers on the board, and needessentials just makes unpretentious quality surf gear instead of flip flops you buy at the mall (looking at you quiksilver and billabong). I would pay a small monthly fee to support somebody like Torren making films. To everyone who finds this video so refreshing: we need to support economic models that better reflect our values!

[@PlaySA]

absolutely hypnotic. for some reason when I was watching it I started thinking that regular thruster surfing, with the constant aggressive tricks is really just an immature version of something like this, which seems more like art. almost dancing with the wave instead of attacking it. great style, great music, nice spots and good waves

[@Fersengold]

absolutely! :)

[@bestservicestations5492]

Had the exact thought. This is how surfing is done!

[@eliot327]

Yeah like that style almost forces everyone into one small box. No doubt it's very impressive and worthy of praise and sponsorships and fame but this is the real unadulterated thing right here.

[@mattclark1278]

It's called 'style', son.

[@damage98]

to each his / her own :) Myself, I love this video, more like this please Perry! Hypnotic. plur to you and Torren and everyone involved in the project.

[@mattsantana7701]

Best surf flick, hands down, that I have enjoyed in 10 plus years. Torren's great style gives me hope for the future of surfing.

[@zumytubes]

couldnt of said it better my self, the stoke is thick! style is pure!

[@joejoecap.181]

Bro... you give out nothing but great vibes! My 13 year old son who is good enough to surf contests, but decided after his first one, that all he wants to be is a soul surfer... "Dad, surfing is the last sport we should be competing with one another with..." Thank you for being such an a great role model of what surfing is really all about! What a style you have! It's pure poetry!

[@christopherpakney8542]

For the life of me, I've never understood the appeal of surfing "contests."

[@erikkudrna]

No logos....anywhere...love it.

[@GusteeGaming]

Torren rides with humility. Every time I watch this guy I gain nothing but respect for his surfing demeanor and creativity.

[@judsonvaughn6199]

It is just so damn refreshing to see a surfer with true style. There is great beauty, elegance and freedom in just enjoying what waves give us, rather than trying to slash them to bits. Watching Torren surf enables you to see the true beauty of the union between the ocean and humans - instead of feeling like you are watching a WCF match.

[@phillipfloyd7780]

He is the epitome of style, fluid motion and grace. So inspiring.

[@Daparaus]

That last one made me melt in my chair, like butter on nice hot slice of toast, slow motion flow, beautiful

[@rodneysmart9774]

The seventies soul surf, connected flow era is alive and well.

[@lmh7450]

Who would give this a thumbs down is beyond me lol this video was pure heaven

[@jackmachesic7177]

Rarely do I have the attention span to watch a 20 minute KZbin video all the way through, you made it easy. Simply mesmerizing, awesome stuff man.

[@tybell1994]

So refreshing to see this caliber of style and soul. This is how surfing should be done. I had never heard of Torren Martyn before stumbling across this clip. Style savant extraordinaire. I`ll make no comparisons. Individual and unique. Someone give this young man an award.

[@lindaollie]

All the comments are so perfect because this is so perfect to me because it is perfect perfect love in sound and motion ❤❤❤❤

[@gregwebberXXX]

Magic stuff! Great lines being drawn on a low rockered board.

[@francesca1999]

i am in awe. i was screaming in joy and had to get my yoga mat out to try to maneuver my body to fathom what it would be like to execute these fluid movements. a beautiful portrayal of humanity's playful connection with the forces of the ocean

[@marks943]

So good! That was 19+ min of my internet life very well spent!

[@SnailerHD]

Yewhaaa! And another great artistic contribution to the surf community! Thank you Perry, been following your work for quite some time and you never cease to satisfy my visual needs ;) A great cinematic and auditory experience, I especially enjoyed the last sequence! Thank you Torren for keeping true to your humble and passionate style brother. To many more!

[@xanderzwemstra5950]

I've had this video permanently open in my browser for days, amazing break from studying digitally. Especially that last session really enchants me, I think it might be the most beautiful wave I've ever seen on video. To have Torren on it even better!

[@BeraniOfficial]

Well done to everyone involved. This is magnificent.

[@LiLDiddee]

Truly elegant surfing. Bravo!

[@EternalFringeDweller]

Man, what heavenly waves, great music, excellent surfing, good filming and editing. What is there not to like? Lol at the downvoters. Gotta feel sorry for those poor bastards. Embittered, miserable souls.

[@markbrown2885]

Mesmerizing, absolutely brilliant!!

[@geofffischer5038]

To me it's like time travel . No one or hardly anyone else out. And such and old school, casual and flowing style . Beautiful. And so good to see some seemingly endless right handers for a change.

[@renodaron889]

So pleasant to see... incredible skills and flow !

[@Sun1111Shine]

Love the music and random shots of people doing their day to day. Great surf footage!

[@Seventysongs]

Smooth and laid back. Those are the best days. Get pitted brother

[@JWnFlorida]

[@DAPOOLPARTY]

What an edit. Keep doin' your thing Torren!

[@tombyrne4791]

liquid poetry, smoothe and soulful

[@TaranakiGreenfields]

So good! Those nuggets at the end were magical!! Bugger about the board too. That thing was a wave gobbler from NArm!! CHUR FROM THE NAKI NZ

[@rnunezc.4575]

Excellent flick guys. Torren sure is a superb flow surfer ..

[@t.lyndon.massey5252]

Incredible footage, style and transitions 🙏🙌

[@wellpleased1836]

Even in the days of aerial maneuvers and tow in surfing, there is still nothing so eye pleasing as a cheater five on the tube or a deep down in backside bottom turn without grabbing the rail. Just one man's opinion.

[@yvanpedron5255]

Excellent.. simple et bon.

[@jmanpig]

far out awesome - especially that very end section!!!!?? mental

[@Ciskokid1970]

Making it look smooth and easy,, good surfing 👌

[@kookmar7431]

Muchas felicidades y bendiciones!

[@gumboot260]

there's a lot to like about this

[@timdonnelly3792]

it's kinda endless.

[@marksman6524]

Just pure class🤙

[@neptunesgold1216]

Why is he the only one out at this epic spot??? Did he take a time machine back to 1970?? He surfs like 1970s style hippie.

[@MrSANTESSON]

Because thats the Torren Martyn style!!!!

[@simonmabb8073]

Beautiful filming and production of really nice surfing

[@marcelfilhosurfcrewimagens8893]

MUITO BOM MESMO , PARABÉNS PELO TRABALHO !

[@overlandteahouse1273]

4:50 ish is simply one of the best set ups I have seen. Reminded me of Curren at J-bay in the 90"s and I dare say with just as much (more?) style.

[@glendabutler3401]

That grab rail carve to bottom turn was stunning

[@Ohlavan]

What an awesome edit. Keep up the good work guys!

[@onlyridersnowboardacademy868]
