Watch: Another Torren Martyn Edit to Keep Your Envy Burning
Tubes are 30% more fun over sand.
Torren Martyn was a comp kid once, chasing points until Dave Rasta whispered in his ear, kicked out his middle fin and set him free. Now, he’s the grand revivalist of sailboats, alt-boards, long-form films, and surfing with only 30% of your true power. Fortune favours the conservative.
Even if it came with a curse that’d follow him forever, whatever deal Torren struck in the dark to get the life he’s got now — anyone would trade their soul for it, if you’re into getting paid to scour the globe for empty waves.
Mr Martyn’s latest offering comes from somewhere in Indonesia, a place that, despite decades of overexposure, write-offs, and crowds so tight they’ll strangle the joy from your neck, seems to be having a recent revival of uncorked spots.
Today, he’s side by side with Drew McPherson, captain of Surfrider Foundation Aus — the baddest planet defenders in the game. Countless tubes, not a thruster in sight. Fortune favours the conservative alternative.
