I’m shocked this finale isn’t blowing up the surfing world right now. The cinematography, music and cultural immersion is simply perfect. Not to mention the rebirth of Soul thanks to Torren. This series brought me so much joy.
No need to blow it up. Keep it for those whom really appreciate good surfing, cinematography and music. We need to convince Tayler Steele to do a movie with Torren, Rasta and February.
Let’s be honest and think about it brah…we both know why it aint broadcast and shopped around as being the epic film it is like that ….(that ongoing low-key, hatin, fear, selfishness, and jealousy of spotlighting a little bit on the uh…’dark’ lol! The industry, and stale-pale backward thinkin folk can’t stand showing love or exposing a different anti-stereotypical ideal of other uh….”folk” in this world…
Napoleon wants it ALL-…(the time). 🤷🏾♂️😏
It's almost like people have different tastes of movies...I personally enjoyed the cinematography as well, but the first three episodes had better pacing and more variety in content. I mean the road trip aspect of this episode is kinda lame, because they take a plane and than the movie is completely basicly over after 12 minutes. After than it's just a recap and some highlights of the surfing. Also i can imagine that many people disliked the repetetive, preachy voice-over of the stereotypical ideals of the surf-traveller, such as beeing mindful, grateful, respectful and encountering every stranger with respect.While these are important topics, there are more subtil and powerful ways to deliver these ideas without just reading out loud cliché life advice.
I strongly agree and I am so thankful for having surf porn to watch like this content from these guys!!!
Couldn't agree more
"There are so many opportunities to chose kindness, gratitude and compassion in life and I find good things tend to happen when you lead with these traits" - Torren Martyn.
My friends & I did a 1000 mile," Baja" trip in 1984,and the reason,that I'm typing right now& not long dead,is," A flat tire" in Ensenada.Took 3hours( 12 yr.old mexican boy,owned the gas station & I showed him how to fix a truck tire.We crossed the border into San ysidro exactly 3 hours after the," 32" person's were murdered in the Mc Donald's restaurant,and all 4 of us,would have probably been eating in there,and we had a great trip( except seeing that awful sin on Humanity.Great to see other world travellers!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is exactly what surfing needed.
THE BEST surf series...you guys are absolute legends 🙏
Cinematography, music, surfing, connection to local and land are so spoy on!!!!
Thank you for speaking up about caring for country, and thank you for taking us on your journey 🙏🙌🤙
This is literally the best surf series I've ever seen! Everyone involved can be really proud of themselves! The cinematography and the music are perfect, and not even to mention the silky smooth surfing!
I hope to see many more of these from both Ishka and Torren.
im morocan i used to love surfing but at 17 i had a terrible accident my face crushed and other serious damage and stoped everything really everything for years but your videos giving me hope really
Amazing journey to watch. Not about who can do the biggest airs or the most cutbacks this is the mindful surfing that all of us dream about. Torren is a great inspiration in the surf industry, doesn't take it so seriously but still rips harder then most of the "pros". Thanks Fellas, Ishka's editing is as smooth as Torrens turns!!.
I'm here to worship waves with the Ish and Torren 🤙🤙🤙. Best. Surf. Series. Ever.
YESSSSS BEST SURF FILM EVER
What fool disliked this fantastic video? It’s one of the best series I have ever seen! Great music and footage
Wow, thanks for another spectacular piece of art. Amazing what two guys can do with a little time, ambition and some waves, very inspiring. Something you say in this episode struck me, "Everyone has a place in the world they call home." Sadly this is not entirely true, many have been displaced whether for economic, political or ecological reasons and many more stand to be displaced as our climate becomes more unpredictable. What strikes me is how grateful one should be to have a place that they call home, where they can feel at home.
What a gift to surfing.
I'd have to say this is the best surfing film of all time. Prove me wrong.
Such a beautiful and flowing style. Love it.
Glorious,you shine ,lovely I am .going to have to press repeat …..again!,!!
Thanks for the music!

Great series of movies.
Somehow even better the second time around
Most enjoyable surf series in a long long time. Well done lads loved it!!
A couple of soul surfers on a mission full of beautiful places, people and attitudes. Such a tonic for these times. I hope that one day when you two are old men, you will look back at this and wonder if it ever really happened, then smile and shake your heads in awe.
Thank you so much, for being a great example ad leader of what the world/we all need to be reminded of
Torren vs Shipsterns is DYNAMIC!.
Thank you guys for doing the good work. See you in the water
this series was amazing
keep doing what you are doing even when mainstream surf media calls. You've risen above the rest.
I waited a year to watch episode 4. It was moving a year ago but it was after covid I had to move away from surfing and the ocean to rebuild the wounds of the pandemic.
Keep it short thank you que viva la vida y todo el mundo much love.
Thanks Torren and Ishka for this series. I loved every minute!
underrated channel
Great soul surfing! Congrats!
Amazing film, greate music!!!!!
Great job folks, beautiful film with a solid message. Thanks for sharing from Ireland 👍🏼 🇮🇪
You have experienced more than I have, on your trip, in my 58 yrs of surfing, brings tears to the joy and celebration of the experiences you have forever!

Simply amazing
Absolutley floored by this entire series just watched the whole thing mesmerized.
The best. Thanks guys! ❤️❤️❤️

Best series of surf films in years, good soul surfing vibes, thanks guys yeeooww! 🤙🌊🐬🌴
So Beautiful - So Honest - So Pure - So Joyful - So Heartfelt - Fellas you have pulled off the best surf adventure series yet!.... such a rare gem in this modern world. Thank you for sharing your art and your flow.. appreciate
Just wow. What a series - seemed to be a perfect match of Ishka and Torren to create magic from a beaten-up Transit and a stack of polystyrene and plastic in the wonderful spots they so obviously treasure and the people they met. Classy execution in the edit and soundtrack lifted the whole thing to a new level. Frabjous.
This is classic. Put everything down and watch.
So damn sick. such great filming and editing...yeeeeuuwwww
It is so inspiring to watch a true essence of what it means to be a surfer being put together in a such an beautiful series. Thank all you guys for sharing this with the world
such a beautiful film
I'm this series is the best thing on the internet
amazing series surfing culture at its best 🙏
Absolute legends. The way the emotion and culture of the places visited was captured is second to none. If we could all live life with a pinch of the values you guys have the troubles of the world would significantly ease.
As good as it gets. Loved Micks words and the connection to country. What a last session that was epic
❤ Loved it!! ❤
Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for posting this masterpiece.
You are both still young men and I will say that it is gratifying to an old hippy from the sixties and seventies who dreamed that the people the young people would realise and express the dreams and aspirations you have in your film and be able to live your life according.. we at times where bashed and violated for these very things… you live your life and bring the world with you. there is only the future,
Fantastic series of film!!! Needs more love !!
This makes my world changed. Thanks for the beautiful films!
Thank you
Good to see that the endless summer spirit is well alive in both of you , now I will be waiting for some innovative experience.
Be good and keep riding ...
Ishka and Torren truly talented people.
arguably the most impressive thing was body surfing for 200m into your board and slipping on it to ride in. like what!?
I just rewatched the series and noticed this bit 😆 He was so nonchalant about it!
Being a surfer who started this trip 15 years ago with ambitions to get to West Africa but stopping half way and making a new life in Portugal, it has inspired me again to finish the trip! A great series with great surfing and cinematography, its great to see and hear young (younger than me!) surfers that actually feel the soul of surfing. Well done
Beautiful message and surfing! This series was excellent 🤙
Orchestra Baobab reminds me of childhood.
I was never allowed to go to Dakar, but my parents brought back “Pirates Choice”, after seeing a show there in ‘89. Great 🎶
beauty!
I'd say this series could compare in greatness to The Endless Summer
Outstanding, thank you :)
Another masterpiece, what an epic finale! Short haired Torren is even more badass.
such a pleasure, thank you
Amazing 4 parts well filmed and great adventure..
