There are few people on earth who surf as well as Torren Martyn. It’s hard these days to find a style of your own—and, to be fair, everyone’s style is influenced by someone else—but Martyn surfs like none other. In the clip above, he’s riding a Morning Of The Earth 5’4 Simon Jones twin that looks like an extension of his body. It’s also hard these days to keep a viewer interested for very long. It takes a special kind of something to keep them watching, and in an age where 15-second Instagram clips are about anyone has time for, Martyn’s got what it takes.
The trip to Desert Point, Indonesia wasn’t a long one, but it was a fruitful one. “This is one of if not my favourite waves to visit,” Martyn explains. “It’s just one of those places that I really enjoy spending self-time at, reading, thinking, early mornings and early nights just simple living. I find the ocean there so unpredictable and mesmerizing. It’s one of those places you can sit and just about stare at the ocean all day and never really know what’s going to happen next.”
