- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- On a distant shore that faces the full brunt of Arctic winter storms, surfer Torren Martyn and filmmaker Ishka Folkwell find mesmerising surf in the cold dark days of winter.
Every year we head off to remote corners of the world in search of good waves in freezing cold climates to put the latest wetsuit developments to the test in the most extreme elements we can find.
This short film produced by needessentials this takes you a journey to the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. Set to a evocative original score by HEADLAND this film portrays how bleak February in the North Atlantic can be, but if all the elements line up, in-between gale force winds, blizzards and snow, the magic sometimes happens.

love this guy hes so humble and last of the free surfers, absolute legend
Him and Mikey Feb, both so articulate and boy do they paint some nice lines when they surf.
Beautiful film. Greatly enjoyed the fact that the locals were honored by showing the grandeur of their land not with pandering words.
Please start uploading to Odysee for those of us trying to not support gigantic tyrannical corporations censuring people across the globe. Thanks loved this film
Perfect inspiration for tomorrow's incoming swell... still in booties and gloves here, too. Cheers, boys, and love the Headlands jams.
This guy is a heroe!... waiting a good wave in this cold water... I think I freeze in one minutes!
I love this!! So relaxing, but yet ripping! Torren for life
I feel like he's surfing the best I've seen of him in this movie, ofcourse with such style an grace
The style master did it again. Nobody shreds like Torren. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I must agree. He “shreds” in such a smooth classic style
Ahh to view the world through the eyes of Ishka.... must be quite beautiful
Beautiful! Peaceful surfing, perfectly clear shots and inspiring music. Well done!
My god, that's excellent. Well done by all involved.
this is what surfing's about
Keep the videos coming.
Art!! Could watch these all day. You guys kill it. Been along time fan!
The Master and The Class. Photography, Surfing The Elements!!!
Your videos are always of the highest quality and content. A true cinematic experience. Well done and please keep pumping them out. Fantastic 🤙🏄
Hold downs in these kinds of waters will change a man!
When I feel down, I watch Torren Martyn surfing. Then I look forward to going and surfing ; but, wait, it is pitch black night time. So I get frustrated and watch another Torren Martyn video.
How can the feet be that weightless when the soul is so thick ? Torren's the Dalai-Lama of surfing.
Those needessentials videos are bedtime stories to me, the best I've been read since I was a kid.
Thank you, Ishka, for writing them down and thank you, Torren, for being their hero.
great team work again people. The footage of the old stone stacked wall with the waves breaking behind, wow! Ishka great videography dude. Always looking forward to your releases. Stoked Need Essentials supports you guys down this path of awesomeness.
amazing video. Thanks guys, inspirational stuff
Great, great to see you back again, thank you 👍😊
Unreal, so good Ishka, so good Torren
Unreal! Must be really tough to film/surf on this freezing weather! Plus, the image quality is just absurd. Congrats 👏🏽
Aargh! You've blown my landlocked mind again, guys. Masters of your arts. Thankyou !
Beautiful. Thanks for this.
Beautiful photography, great surfing despite what looks like sub-zero temperatures!! 👍🏻❄️❄️❄️
After watching some of the bells comp today then viewing Torren with Iska's filming I think some of the pros need to have a look at how you should surf. So much more pleasing to watch.
How thick are your wet suits surfing in those conditions how can you even paddle let alone carve the way you do totally amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome little movie yet again. Cheers ^^
Beautiful film dude thanks.
Just amazing videos by needessentials.
What a beautiful planet. Torren helps showcase it. Thanks man.
Love watching Mr Martyn surf, almost make me want to get on those Cold Mornings! The waves & take-offs at the 4min & 10:20min marks were legit!
cold. sick film thanks
I'm jealous.... The waves and the stunning surrounds... Have yourself or Ishka every been to Hokkaido? I'm looking to head that way next Japanese winter.
The consequences of our actions are never more alive than when dropping in, Torren and Ishka you inspire us all to be our best, your surfing and cinematography, editing and headlands music are sublime.
You are master and Ishka has beautiful pictures!
Really nice work. Beautifully shot, and great surfing as always 🇬🇧
Excelent film.
Thank you!

Thanks guys, this take so much work and compromise. Amazing short film

This motion picture combined with its deep musical vibe had me in goosebumps for most of the entire video. Amazing 👏
Amazing film! Thanks so much.
Can we please have a movie with three style masters - Martyn, February and Howard ?
Stunning footage.
Amazing as always, love the landscapes, music and soul vibe 🤙🏄🌊🏞️
Amazing again!
Yeo, I've grown into being a fan mate.
Difference of opinion and lifestyles I'm sure if that
But
I do respect you (& Ishka) for the hardcore endurance element of your films.
It's to the point of lunacy at time but at all time there is a respect in the authenticity if not just in this one but in all of your works!
I'm left in awe at times, jealous at others but never when I realise the cold and what it takes to score there!
Well done is an understatement
Thanks for sharing your adventures so that we the last ones that are not motivated sufficiently to do what you show us what can be done and the rewards from those efforts!
just beautifull!
My buddy bought one of the need essential suits and loves it. This edit is amazing. Instagram always reminds me to check back and then I find another mind blowing project. The content and music is pretty remarkable. Thank you
wonderful style, both in surfing and photography, thank you!
So inspiring, so interesting, I liked very much!!😊🎉
Perfect surf, and is very curious surfing in ice seas!! 👍💐
Thanks a lot!!
I wish the best for you, good luck!! 🎉💐💐
Amazing! 🤟🏼❤️
Incredible, per usual! The score in this one was phenomenal
The best video, amazing!!!
Is a kind of panic sindromes of the actual surf crowd.
This is the unic way
Man you guys are really honing your craft. These shots are perfect and the sound selection is on point.
Stellar!
awesome as always
great shots
great surfing
great score
Another masterpiece!! I love the chill vibe on all your videos. Makes me want to travel, very inspiring!
Beautiful waves, location, surfing, and boards ❤️
These are consistently the best videos out there.
Could someone please share the board dimensions? 🙏
As always you guys blow us away. Incredible
Great surfing, Great cinematography, im a subscriber now.
The day God decided to surf, he was named Torren Martyn ❤❤
is this fresh footage from this year?? how the hell does ishka keep his shots so still in those winds!?!
PERFECT :D
I love watching your surf travel videos, what length quiver did you bring on this trip?
Sick film! Miss the commentary though!
Few are aware that this humble shredder houses multiple alter-egos. One of whom fronts an 80's hair metal band in torn skin tight white leather, playing debauched shows in seedy downtown bars. Probably.
Awesome work as always! Looks fantastic and great surfing too! What are you shooting with Ishka?
Black Magic 6k Pro.
@@Ishkafolkwell Thanks mate. Looking beautiful!
Which country? I’m not bothered about the spots but I’d like to know which country
So sick surfing! What size is the midlength he surfs?
My guess is it is the 6 2 Fiji diamond tail you can see on the morning of the earth website.
Thanks for not naming the spots
@4:58 he kicks out but his soul was still in the barrel
The head was off for a moment but the soul brought it back in. How is this even possible ?
4:58 is so confusing. How?
Torren Martyn, my friend, has a transcendental connection to the ocean.
That looked fucking miserable lol
Was soll der Blödsinn? Bei dem Wetter und ohne Safety... Boahhhh.... No Go....
I don't think this is the time to be surfing with all that's going on in the world.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤡
?
Nice try
What's going on in the world is not really what's going on in the world
