- "Lost Track Atlantic" is a four-part series that takes you on the journey of a lifetime, from the far north Atlantic to the tropical, equatorial coast of West Africa.
Follow best friends, surfer Torren Martyn and filmmaker Ishka Folkwell in a search for waves and life long memories, as they journey down the Atlantic coastline passing through one of the most culturally diverse regions on the planet. After customising an old van to become their travelling home, Torren and Ishka explore their way through an array of countries and cultures, all on a quest to escape into nature and ride perfect waves.
Filmed in late 2019 before travel restrictions, this four-part feature, produced by needessentials, filmmaker Ishka Folkwell captures Torren’s timeless surfing against a backdrop of beautifully contrasting landscapes and countries. The films celebrate the diverse cultures and amazing people that call these places home.
Set to an outstanding original soundtrack composed by Headland and an incredible mix of local musicians, Lost Track Atlantic invites you to come along on an epic adventure. These films remind us that although life has its highs and lows, we can always find contentment in a deep connection with nature, community and the ocean.

This is exactly what surfing is missing right now. What an awesome adventure that gives you the feeling of being there. Thanks for bringing back beautiful memories of Scotland and Ireland for me!
Ah yeah NONE of these exact surf movie exist
Four parts? What a treat!
I’m checking my YT notifications every day now! Can’t wait for next episode 🙌🏼
This was exactly what I needed in these dark times. One year without surf, nagging injuries, heavy & dark thoughts, Covid etc and now my froth came back in an instant together with some tears and smiles throughout these 40 minutes of pure joy. Thank you legends! Much love from Sweden
This video rescues the soul of surfing without competition, without commercial value as surfing was born interacting and respecting nature, different places and cultures.
Congratulations to the directors.
I'm convinced bots are running a lot of things online, there's absolutely no reason to thumb downs this video, hands down some of the best surfing documentary quality waves really well down show, just absolutely sick travels and scoring insane, so sick
Came here to say this
Cannot WAIT for Ep. 2!!
THIS IS PURE GOLD
from SHOTS to MUSIC!
TORREN you're THE BEST ❤ღ•♡
what a GORGEOUS WAY OF FLOW
Para mi este episodio es como "devolver la soberanía a la madre Tierra"
quien de verdad tiene el poder, la gracia y la divinidad.
Los humanos tan sólo estamos "de paso". Mil gracias de nuevo y saludos!
@@isabelasensioandres by "madre Tierra" you mean the one who is above us all? Quien creo todo esto?
Buen vídeo amigo
Nos gusta mucho el canal
Saludos desde España
Wow. An actual surf movie. Haven’t seen one of these in a while.
It's a dying breed. But god we should count our blessings when they come round
Check out ALL of Torrens (the surfer) and Ishkas (the film maker) surf films. Just all of them are so pure!
@@SnailerHD right on man. Your channel seems great as well. Just subbed. 🤙🏼
@@zareh805 bless my man, appreciate you!
What are some good surf movies you'd recommend? Trying to dive deep
Great video !! Aussies doing what we Aussies do - travel and surf. The never ending pursuit of the perfect barrel.
Mik's snippet of our relationship to mother earth was truly beautiful and I feel like that's such a deep message that many people are out of touch with. Thanks for sharing this knowledge, and showcasing your journey along the way! Looking forward to the next episode.
Incredible film, should be released in theaters tbh
Just so good 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Epic trip! Epic surf! Sick movie 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤙🏾
This is what surfing is. Wow. Thank you "needs" for your awesomeness in the logo ravaged industry. Respect. Yeeeeewwwwwww!!!
This is best case scenario upon opening youtube. Cant wait for ep 2. Adventure and story is whats missing from insta 30 sec clips. Thanks for keeping the surf film alive
This is what surf is all about!. What a inspiring human!
brilliant, like you want a surf film to be.. inspiring! met you guys in Safi, very stylish waveriding chaps !! Chapeau
Pure genius unadulterated joy, love and respect. Thoughts and feelings from this video…and i am a 73 year old woman. You get me and the great creator…you have mastered being alive and in love with spirit. To the team.
This is the most beautiful part of surfing
You guys have once again captured the magic of surf + travel beautifully. Soo well done, thankyou for showing us your adventure.
Two things ive come to learn about surf travel. Firstly, it's one thing to find it on, secondly, it's another thing to be able to charge it when you find it on - good on him!
Thank you, Ishka, Torren & Need Essentials for keeping the stoke and adventure alive.
So inspiring to see people still make real surf films from real surf trips.
You guys rock!
Epic. Cant wait for the rest.
31:02
I don't know if I want to keep watching or just leave this on repeat mode. Awesome!
Blown away, great 1st episode. Looking forward to the next one!
Awesome in every way - the stoke is real and thanks for sharing.
You guys are Legends in the making Very inspirational
Thank you
Such a peaceful pause amidst poopy diapers, misunderstandings, and sleepless nights. Thankful to have watched this masterpeice.
Absolutely beautiful!
Need more people like yourselves in our communities. Educating others, respecting other lands and cultures. Appreciating what landscapes and coastlines are out there, but experiencing them intimately like a right of passage with the soul. Thank you both for sharing this content!
Flippen great!
Thanks for sharing for free!
So amazing. Great work guys. Captured that cold van life will. And those waves you got are amazing, great great surfing. Just all so good. Loving the boards too
Super work...don't stop.
You guys are untouched in surf films being put out right now. Thank you!
Goooooood. What a journey, what aaa journey! Awesome cut and some really nice waves - thanks for that guys!
So good guys! Pleasure to watch 🤙
Sick barrels Torren!!! Cant wait for the ep2, well done guysssss !! thank you for this!!!!
First off- beautiful boys. Really stunning work all the way round. Second- to me this is a surf trip- as apposed to a "surf vacation/holiday." Jetting into some location, driving to some resort and posting up to gorge on a few different waves for a week or two is nothing to trash but its not a surf trip-its a vacation or something else there is no word for. I talk to surfers who claim to have seen the world and suggest they are well traveled. I am not bashing on anyone for their experience and how they have managed get around the globe but seeing it how you 2 did is a surf trip-its what we used to always do-pre surf resort/destination surfing came to be. I went to Europe on the search for 6 months and stayed 5 years. Cool thing is you never know what can happen when you put yourself out there-get out there friends. My god this film hit me-what is important? To me surfing and seeing it all
better documentary than 90% of what I've seen or read coming out of mainstream surf media for 10 years. Congrats guys, waiting for leg2
Wow , that last wave . Majestic, clean , nobody around. That would of made me so exited
Hey guys , this is it, this is van life... just makin do with what you got, nothing flash, pure stoke, in it for the adventure... Amazing film work fellas, I'm itching for part 2. could watch this all day...
Safe travels beyond to you both don’t stop ! Ever for ever searching for the best of a love natural surfing Happy Earthday to you ❤️so burly and humbling thank you 🙏
Can't believe it was only part 1, what a masterpiece!
I shared this because it is intelligent & enjoyable to the core... a core which many people need to revisit these days & surfing + adventure is a gateway to all! That car race though... haha Crazy
great waves - nice music and good style in the surfing - go for it !
Great film and you have lot of courage!
The 16 people who thumbed this down, have no soul and must be miserable human beings. This is magic!
Yeeooww, thanks guys these films have captured what surfing is, fantastic!! Amazing landscapes & our connection with Mother Earth, mixing with & meeting people from all cultures & places, frothing for the next episode.
Thank you for acknowledging the traditional owners of Australia. Always was, and always will be Indigenous land.
God is blessing you guys. Tah Beautiful movie.
What a total legend- surfing gnarly Scotland in the middle of winter, snapping two boards and saying 'I wish I could do that session over and over again!'
Beautiful surfing- keep it up!
Wow! What an awesome film. Such incredible storytelling and an epic adventure.
E P I C . THANK YOU !
Why isn’t this in theaters & surf shops everywhere??? This is awesomeness!
You guy’s are legends!!! Crazy good!!! Gives those watching the feeling that they’re all on the journey with you. 🤙
Makes me realise how lucky i've been to score clean waves in Scotland and Ireland, frothing for the morocco part
Well, 7mins in and I already have tears. Gratitude for your free offering to the people. Love from Aotearoa! Tangata whenua mai i Australia.... manawainua oku hoa!
Insane episode. So much better than the hyped air reverse arty farty bullshit that floods the surf world these days (even though its shot ever so nicely) ... I remember you from the bluff in 2016 also ... that was a good day getting barrelled, as good as the bluff gets
This is it. Pure and simple.
Epic. Great film. What a journey!
Amazing doc boys!
Beautiful! So much heart in this movie. Cheers boys!
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this but I keep coming back to it. Now I'm watching it with my 4 week old baby. It mellows both of us out. Peace
Best 40 minutes of my week. Thank you!
So so good (not least because I love in a van to chase surf up and down the Atlantic coasts). Can't wait for the next one. Beauty!
So good. Thank you for this. Be kind and respectful to people and places along the way!
So great! Really stoked I get to see this!
Is this the greatest film of all time? Probably
Loved watching that gents, great stuff.
Truly great, restores my faith on great and simple humans.
💘
Great movie guys, can't wait to catch the next episode. Ireland and Scotland are such wild and beautiful places and surfing there is only for the hardcore.

Sick one.
Thanks guys
thanks you guys! the spirit!
Beautiful experience. Amazing content and films. Greetings from Uruguay
Thankyou fella's, what a wonderful first episode!! A real surf film that epitomises true surf adventure and stoke. Much love from NZ
Love it! What a refreshing movie showing us the ups and downs, and the beautiful and bizarre moments of being on the road. Way more interesting than the average surf movie - if you have seen one you have seen them all. Thank you for being original and keeping it real!
keen for the next one!
Thank you for this, Torren and Ishika are the best duo. Can't wait for the next one.
I've watched this 3 times now! Great work guys!
Sick movie, can’t wait for episode 2 🤙
This is incredible, cant believe its free on UA-cam! best surf film ive seen in a while love the emphasis on travel and locations feels like endless summer! cant wait to see the rest :)
Loved watching this! Had some epic surf trips to Scotland and Ireland. Been living in Japan for the past 12 years and really miss the van trips up North! Thanks for bringing back lots of good memories.
Love this . Can’t have been just the two of them surfing / filming this is as good as it gets in this genre surely . Hats off to you two , top drawer 🤙
Note how there never is anyone else in the water. I suspect that they have a support van with goons to intimidate people from getting in............
Very, very good 🤟
It is very cold like a cold you never forget but the adventure more than makes up for it. I am thinking back to my pre-adolescent childhood spent a winter in Northern Ireland land of my Father. the further north you go the colder it gets.
Filme maravilhoso! parabéns, ficou bom demais
aguardando o próximo episódio.
Sick images. Thank you for bringing us in your amazing experience !
Only one word Amazing!
This is fantastic - love every bit of this short video from right at the start to the end!
