I’m quite old now, had multiple joint replacements and can barely get to my feet off the floor let alone dropping into a decent wave. Watching surfing like this both makes me happy and also want to curl up and die. I look back at the waves I passed up and the opportunities to get out in the water because it was to cold, to early or some other piss arsed reason and want to cry.
Nick - Yep 👍 great suggestion … ease into some beginner yoga classes Mit… take it easy… then just go paddle a bigger board, the strength will return… then paddle into a few - No excuses above ground❕☝️😁😆
I love his style because it reminds me of 70’s surfers, his whole line is fluid. He’s not sitting there doing chop hops to set up for an air and that’s it. It’s like I like to watch pool skaters rather than street skaters, going in a straight line, hitting a handrail and that’s it.
Torren is so smooth. Love the flow and projection he gets out of his turns on those Twin fins. I haven’t ridden one for at least 30 years maybe time to order one again.
Incredible style as always. Nice to see the quiver! My main board is a 5'6" retro fish and it's inspiring to see him riding heavy waves on similar boards. I also love surfing my 7'8" middie as a twin and I agree that mid lengths can be super fun and flowy on all kinds of waves. 🤙🏻🌊
Please get a look at their fins when looking at quivers. Would mean so much to me if Toryn could talk about different fins between the shorter and longer boards. or if he rides different fins on the same board depending... etc shot a lot!
i remember having success with an old late 90’s mid size (maybe 6’9”) pintail that was a thruster but i started surfing as a twin.. it was still able to get good drive but was able to get some fun controlled sliding manoeuvres when you wanted.. it’s worth experimenting
Last rode a twin fin in 1980 without a lot of success. Think a mid length twinny might be interesting more rail would tone down the out of control slide. Good fun riding different style of boards.
I agree mate. For a while now I feel like I'm struggling to surf my small boards as well as I get older. These 7-8 foot boards he is riding look phenomenal under the foot. And way more user friendly
With all due respect, mid lengths are super hot at the moment. The coolest thing after sliced bread, so to speak. Seriously though, mid-lengths are the new hype...
Cool video. Can someone please tell me what the width of the nose is on MOTE Fiji board? (width 12” back from tip of nose). I can’t find a way to contact MOTE. Thanks 🙏🏼
hi Torren can you share which board are you riding on 3:08 and the last one the 6'10 ? :) you have amazing style and grave and so fun to watch your videos
I want to see what happens when you guys get on mushrooms or acid and get into the shaping bay and/or surf to test out the boards. That's where the magic really happens 😎🤙
Amaizing surf. Though, "literage and all that shit". Why not use volume as a reference? I mean, it's ok if we didn't have that, but it's the 2020's and he calls bullshit on volume 😬. By the way, literage is not a word, as far as I know.
Im going to criticize here .Torren is a great surfer, probably a nice guy, but the blind ignorance about his own equipment is appalling . abandoning the scientific method ,there will be hundreds of surfers now following his blind faith of abandoning numbers costing unsuspecting surfboard consumers thousands of dollars, adding frustration and confusion to an already bastardized industry. Other than that,New surfers should be studying his style and technique, cause that’s how its done people.
If people were to follow his ‘blind faith’ then that’s their own problem... They would be neglecting the fact that he has an intimate relationship with his shaper... They can test things out and not have to worry too much about costs... It’s not blind faith, it’s just trial and error and trusting your shaper.
More Torren please! The most pleasing surfer to watch. Isn't this what we all want to experience?
Yes it is, great question!

Are you from wichita?

@David P yess bruva! Keen for some good ones up above 🤙🏾
Get out there and surf, when you stop surfing, you stop living, by the way I am 68.
Start doing yoga every day.. you'll surprise yourself how fit and flexible you can get.

Lovely style, and making mid lengths cool again, hurrah 👍🏻
Amazing flow and style.
so much flow, style, and composure. Great vid
this guy has so much steeze.. nobody has his style... love it
Love the innovative shapes, Torren is a legend
Great to see your boards, I've been curious. Having grown up surfing in the 70s, I love these boards and your flowing style riding them.

That was so refreshing!
I am loving this guys style.

“None of my surfboards have measurements”. Perfect.
My fave style to surf. Hoping i can surf like him someday
1:37 incredible Nias barrel.

That longer one looks sooooooo rad
I'd love to hear more about mid-lengths. They seem neglected so often, but then prove so versatile and fun. Why don't mids get any attention!?

The 7’5 and 6’10 looks sick as!!!
Beautiful surfer!

my friend simon... I knew there was no way he was talking about mr. thruster haha. Is this the dude who models for need essentials?
Fantastic
do channels slow it down in smaller surf?
LOOKIN LIKE TOM CURREN!!! GREAT STYLE!!!
What fins do you use in that 5’6” moon tail? Keels or a more upright twin? Or something in between like Britt’s?
Wonder what kind of twin fin he uses. Or does he just used those keel looking ones for all his boards.
ohhh my god the steezeee
1:32 - Wtf is that in the water? Right infront of him?
Someone duck diving.
refreshing
He's gorgeous
Shipping to Hawaii ?
funny to watch folks in the shaping bay with respirators and no eye protection
Good sales pitch, I'm sold!
wow god video

Hard to think of anything so innately turned on and tuned in as surfing and shaping !
Yeah man fuck dimensions and all that shit. All about feeling
Amaizing surf.

he goin on feel,etting thre shaper be more free

also theres an effect in freeing things up like that
