We wanted to share with you a memorable a section from the feature length film ‘Thank you Mother’ by Torren Martyn and Ishka Folkwell.
Recently nominated for surf film of the year, 'Thank You Mother' is a cinematic journey of surfing, simplicity and appreciation. It is a film that isn't afraid to be beautiful, stylish and sincere. Narrated by award winning Australian film maker and life-long simplist Albert Falzon, who made the seminal 1970s surf film 'Morning of the Earth'.
'Thank You Mother' began as a story about the act of creating a surfboard and the art of riding one. Exploring the connection between surfer Torren Martyn and his friend, mentor and surfboard shaper Simon Jones of Morning of the Earth Surfboards. This naturally led to the doorstep of another friend and mentor, Albert Falzon and the film became more about the connections, creativity and friendships developed while surfing, being content and living simply.
Shot on location in South Africa, Indonesia and Australia, Ishka Folkwell's original and artful approach to film making captures something of the essence of these places, bringing them to life on screen. Nick Bampton’s original musical score was composed for the film, echoing the mood and rhythm Torren Martyn’s surfing as he glides with style and power, carving beautiful lines into the clean walls. Perhaps the most powerful element of this creative collaboration between surfers, shapers, filmmakers and musicians is the truth and beauty of Albert Falzons’ reflections on life. With humility and charisma he offers viewers the keys to a life of contentment.
If you would like to view the full film it is available here with all proceeds going directly to the film makers.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this take from the feature film which captures Torren in a timeless moment of bliss during a long afternoon in a remote corner of the world.

It's so good to watch someone surfing rather than ripping, shredding and tearing. Even though Torren totally rips!
you probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last couple of days :)
@Forest Louie definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Any single one of these waves would be the best wave of my life.
Thanks 🙏 look forward to check out the full movie over at Vimeo 🙌
After this session he and ishka sat very close to each other and wrote poems about each others smiles … 😊
Torren fantastic. Totally inspiring soulful skills perfect tunes great cinematography. Think I need to get back on a board.
360’s at desert point gotta luv that👍👍👍 beautiful surfing Torren, I’m sure you could ride an ironing board !! but that really is a special piece of equipment your on🙏🙏🙏
You're right man! Anybody know what board he is riding here?
Dreamlike, playful, soulful perfection of style. There's not another surfer in the world I'd rather watch (and hopefully learn from). Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art!
rcc314 not even mason ho 😎?
Rob machado?
A joy to watch....Clean soulful surfing without a poxy rotation in sight...Thank you.
Wonderfull. Lovely lip 360s. Thx for the ride
This is some of the best barrel riding I’ve ever seen 😭🤯
Revolutionary technique.
That was a pleasure. He makes every wave look playful, even if it's over shallow razor sharp reef 🤙
Deserts aren't a very sharp reef, but it's certainly not a slow wave that many can play with like this.
@@krusher74 it's not sharp? When I was there everyone was cut to pieces getting lime rubbed on at the end of the day
@@graememac376 did not see anyone get any cuts when i was there, . down at the grower is pretty sketch though.
The Wizard of Aus! Sublime.
What a beautiful video, perfection, surfing at its best.
this is sick, torren getting more radical
fantastic film, so lovely. amazing work, amazing surfing, amazing waves.
Mr. Martyn knows how to surf a twin fin! Great content:)
Such clean lines.
Sick surfing, tunes and camera work!
Yes, now that is a Torren Martyn style film. Looks like so much fun
I could literally watch this clip on repeat all day. Sooo good!
Beautiful style and the videography ain't too shabby either.
Thank you, Torren, for showing us how it’s done well. Could watch you all day.
Truly trippy ... thx 😎
BEAUTIFUL
amazing flow
7:31... Incredible surfing
Reminds me of a reg foot Rob Machado. Nice mellow style.
Nice video. Music did my head in after the 100th repetition of the same short riff though lol.
amazing style... i love everything the cinematography is beautiful and music is super cool. i just wonder how Torren keeps his long hair from getting in his eyes (like mine does... ) of course those boards are absolutely stunning also !
Great video, epic waves, excellent surfer. What are the dim's of the board?
To the 6 people who watched this video and then clicked the “thumbs down” button, what else do you not like? Music? Puppies? Please explain...
So Great!!!
I'm loving "needESSENTIALS", got some more gear from you guys this past week and it's all top-notch.
such sick style
mmm i feel like im melting watching this
so sick
unique style master
Magic moment
As a big guy, 6’4”, 240lbs and someone who absolutely loves twin fins, I have to put a nub ( 2” ) trailer fin in… makes all the difference!
Beautiful stuff 👌
This guys makes it look so easy,. He steps forward in the board like a young god haha
I stopped my annual 6 month pilgrimage to Indonesia 20 plus years ago when I married a younger woman and settled down to start a second family, and get a few assets. My first marriage failed because I was always surfing. I continued to surf until I was mid 50s, mostly where I live.Now at 60 I can barely get out of bed let alone surf. With this pandemic it looks like I’ll lose my house and everything else I own, and still have one dependant child. Although I could never deny my later children their existence, part of me wish’s I had stayed in Indonesia.
It's all about the journey but I'm sure your children are grateful
I hope your situation changes for the better
Please videos of that smoking left and the barrel time and how many times you could get tubed is unreal also the 3 sixties on their twin fin are amazing how long is that board?
no flicky tricks, no airs, no logos.....the way it was meant to be.
2:49 clean
2:50 damn!...
He makes it look as if he's surfing on molten butter.
Was Torren calling someone onto that last wave??
Ahh. Bellisimo.. curious what are your physical dimensions? Ie height .weight?
Style plus ... his knees bend in like MR's
Great soulful ripping! How do I get one of those boards? Is it the same builder as the one you surfed at Nias?
Wrede Whitney yep, morning of the earth surfboards
@@declanswann3723 Sweet. I need to order one.
Wrede Whitney I’m fairly sure Torren only surfs those boards shapedby Simon Jones, all Twin Fin
@@declanswann3723 I see you can order them through the website on Morning of the earth. Nor sure which model so I'll have to do some research I guess. Looking for step-up in La Jolla reefs in Ca when 8ft+
@@wredewhitney7718 im sure one of the local cali shaper could shape you something very similar instead of having something shipped from Aus.
dem barrels ....sick
2:49 can't get any cooler than that
Totally! That was the coolest 360 I ever seen 🤯
shredder cheesing
surfing
Style
do more of those backside 360 please
When you have a real wave all boards go 30 mph. Dude has nice style for sure. I don’t get how dude didn’t get ground beefed on the reef. Must be some special way to jump off or bounce off dry reef.
I have a ripcurl GPS watch and even in fast waves like this it's hard to get 20mph as a top speed.
This is decent sized desert point so the reef is deeper than when it’s small. The big waves almost make it safer. However, I’m sure he touched the reef at some point in the session. Some pretty technical barrel riding displayed.
Massa
That's a bad man
He just took some one footed noserides on a shortboard exiting the barrels . . . .
Reckon he surfs a bit like MP. JZ.
wow wow wow amazing
🔥🔥🔥 tipping, see hello l'm from kuta lombok?
Jesus Christ, he's fast! Take a look at his neural kinetics, they're way above normal!
im so pissed off my ankle has been playing up for 2 years..i would style u to shreds like MR on a pain free day..You can look forward to ankle issues later in life! look after your ankles
