Introducing ‘A Sense of Space’, the latest feature following the life of SurfStitch ambassador, Torren Martyn.
Filmed and edited by close pal Ishka Folkwell, this mini documentary embodies his hometown day to day rituals perched somewhere in the Byron Bay shire. From the rural landscapes of northern New South Wales to then getting lost in the desert somewhere in North West WA, the fifteen minute flick encapsulates the meaning of exploration and the elements, whether it’s waves or otherwise, that come with it. The result is exactly that, a picture-perfect view of how adventurous life can be if we all take two, slow down and enjoy the little things and the simple moments.
“You know where you just sort of stare up at the stars and you just feel insignificant in a way, and you realise how big and wild the world is around you? It’s a nice feeling to have, I’m looking forward to getting back to that.”
Get a view into Torren’s persona and tune into ‘A Sense of Space’ above, then continue scrolling as we get an exclusive chat to talk more about the projects creation, the diversity of exploring Australia’s definitive and ever changing coastlines, the high and lows of the journey and much more.
Where did the name ‘A Sense Of Space’ originate?
West Australia itself is so remote and desolate in many ways, just plain simple living, I really enjoy my own space and that humbling feeling of being amongst all the elements.
How long was this feature film in the works for?
The film itself was shot over a couple of weeks, piecing it together and marrying it with an original soundtrack took a few more weeks.
Tell us about the locations featured and why they were chosen for the flick. It’s incredible to see the diverse and different landscapes of both sides of Australia!
The diversity from North to South and East to West is something that I always appreciate and am fascinated by in Australia alone. It’s incredible, the locations in the film are the east coast and the far north west, geographically they are about as far away as you could be from the other, lush and green on one side and barren and dry on the other. Quite a contrast indeed!
You and Ishka have worked together on a number of projects and you seem to nail it every time, what makes it work so well?
Ishka and I are best mates. We’re both on the same page on a lot of levels we travel well together, have similar aesthetic taste and enjoy making films together. Shooting around home you obviously have your usual comforts, though The West Oz section is something completely new and different.
What was it like being out in the middle of nowhere and scoring day after day?
To be honest we weren’t exactly scoring day after day at all, the conditions, wind weather and waves were all pretty unpredictable. We had some moments but it was nice spending time out there, off the grid, surfing, fishing and catching up with a good mate of ours that we hadn’t seen for a while.
Tell us about some of the highs and lows of the journey?
The trip and time over west was a high, sharing waves with new and old friends, camp fires, red wine and plenty of laughs. I gave my foot a bit of a brush against the reef and it got quite infected and got a little debilitating towards the of the trip but all in all it was nothing but a good time.

This dance that we do with mother nature is so rewarding. For all the hardships and beatings, we persist, thank you, for the hard fought special moments mother ocean provides.
Amazing! Beautiful footage conveyed with a great soundtrack and unreal surfing! Thank you, hope to see more stuff soon.
The most beautiful and emotionally riveting surf edit I've seen in a while. Thank you!
Beautifully put together. True spirit of surfing
This video brought me peace for the day. Thank you
Wonderful, captivating, thank you.
Thumbs up if you hit on like before even watching the full movie! Thank you Torren and Ishka for this amazing movie! Keep up the good work!
The amount of wild life there is encouraging. Great film.
Beautifully put together, beautiful surfing and soundtrack. Reminds me of the feeling I got when I was a grom and used to watch old surf movies like Blue Horizons, Storm Riders...and get so excited about my next surf. Great work Torren and team
WOOW! man,, what a trip ! wow... im dazed, this transitions on him surfing, clouds,, music. wow. super stoned
The visual and musical experience is just insane. Headland's music is so touching and just brings a feeling of peace that few things I know in this world can.
amazing surfing amazing surfboards amazing cinematography amazing surf !!!
Wow! What a beautiful surf film. Man respecting nature. Brought tears to my eyes. Torren is amazing and so is the person who made this film Ishka Folkwell.
Please please keep these videos coming, I enjoy them so much! Great work
I keep on coming back to these films. Such magic! also I bumped into Alby surfing at Scott’s head. It was such a treat. He was really polite in the water. You could feel his good energy out there. Peace :)
smootheness and so much style to it. And again, good choice of music
Very beautifull video as ever ... that change à lot from most of all surf videos who are made without sensibility and art...Thank you for sharing your videos ! !!!

Those waves at the end looked like so much fun! I paused this video at 12:58, dropped everything and just went for a surf. I just got back and watched the rest of this video! Today was a good day 😄 🤙 Thank you!

The land of the rights waves!!! amazingggg
Soulful bliss coursing through my veins as the salty spray takes away my pain.🤙
Thanks lads for reminding me of what i was missing...life can get in the way sometimes, time to get back into the ocean.
Good to see SOUL is alive and well - A man doing what he loves for no other reason than he's doing what he loves. It brings joy to my heart. Brings back the best memories of my life - of the old days on the road just exploring the nooks and crannies. And that board is sweet - well suited to those waves. Is that a twinny?

Scott C You do realise that this is a promo movie for his sponsor don’t you ? Whilst everyone else in camp was just enjoying the place for what it was , he was thinking of the best way to frame his profile piece. He made no friends selling the joint out either.

There will be NO OTHER TIME THAN NOW . I've done both and with my time left I'm trying to return to the heartfelt joy of the path Torren treads. I've realised human life is short. Yet a day can be an eternity . I am into my 50th year of surfing and the hunger still is present. But the point Mit states is true...My words are...go the road less traveled, at any age; as the treasures you count as time takes it toll will be more joyous if they are the memories of wonder and ones centred on the the Sea of Joy...Torren's film had many moments of Paul Witzigs classic movie of the same name and a very Nat feel to Torren's surfing. A buzz to watch

S Angle same same. And my wife hates me for it, told her she can get a job and pay the mortgage. I have returned after 35 years to the one thing that met my soul, surfing. I refuse to be a slave to the system anymore, I busted my ass end for 30 years only to have it all stolen from me. What little I have left will be spent doing nothing but surfing, and after that I'll die happy. This guy Torren he's likely a decent bloke, but don't be fooled by the staged scenes and the cinematography. Snippets in an otherwise hectic life that he leads.
sick , all day
Great surfer but vid shows the wide nose boards just don't cut it if there is any lump or bump on the waves. He looked so much better on the more refined modern short board.
Move over Jerry Lopez and his tube rides, Torren Martyn is in town.
How is his pig dog so beautiful !?
