Torren Martyn - LOST TRACK ATLANTIC - Episode 4 - needessentials

Lost Track Atlantic is a four-part series that takes you on the journey of a lifetime, from the far North Atlantic to the tropical, equatorial coast of West Africa.
Follow best friends, surfer Torren Martyn and filmmaker Ishka Folkwell in a search for waves and life long memories, as they journey down the Atlantic coastline in a customised old van passing through one of the most culturally diverse regions on the planet.
In episode 4, Torren and Ishka push on deep into the African tropics and stumble across a playful long sand bottom point. Experiencing the warmth of local village life, the boys realise shared waves, a good meal and conversation is about as good as it gets.

    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.

    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!

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!!.

    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.
