What's up

An Assemblage of Bones with Jaleesa Vincent In TSJ’s 29.5’s “An Assemblage of Bones,” writer Mariah Ernst follows 21-year-old Jaleesa Vincent’s transition from Sunshine Coast lifeguard to Byron Bay-based professional freesurfer. Aside from drawing unique lines on alt-crafts, Jaleesa’s extraneous endeavors include rock and roll, tap dancing (sometimes those first two simultaneously), painting, and skeletal articulation. This short film focuses on that latter hobby. Vincent narrates her process of collecting road kill, using beetles to clean its bones, and then putting its skeleton back together again. Shot on 16mm and edited by Ellis Ericson . Music by Jaleesa Vincent. Read "An Assemblage of Bones" here: https://www.surfersjournal.com/editorial/jaleesa-vincent-assemblage-bones/

Torren Martyn on Growing Up in Byron Bay, Crocodiles, His Surf Idols, and Sketchy Situations at Sea Born in 1990 in Bangalow, Australia, not far from Byron Bay, Torren Martyn is hailed as one of the great stylists of our time, riding all manner of surfcraft, and with a special penchant for twin-fins. He’s also one of surfing’s great explorers. In 2016, he and his filmmaker pal Ishka Folkwell spent three months circumnavigating Australia in a Land Rover, riding A-grade waves and documenting their trip in the first installment of the film series "Lost Track." In 2018, the duo did a similar trip around New Zealand, this time on motorcycles. In 2019, they bought a Ford Transit and drove it from Europe down to the west coast of Africa on a surf hunt. In 2022, Martyn and his partner, Aiyana Powell, bought a sailboat in Thailand and spent an entire year exploring surf breaks in and around Indonesia, culminating in the film "Calypte." In this episode of Soundings, Martyn and Jamie Brisick talk about surfing in the middle of nowhere, forging a free-surfer’s path, finding clarity and direction, cultivating a cartographic mindset, gaining confidence as a sailor, his quiver, and the logistics, preparation, and knowledge that went into planning for a year at sea.
