What's up

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.

Harrison Roach in “Proper by Any Measure” Roach’s surfing is mannered, refined, and unflappable. While grounded in the helmsmanship of heavy tankers, his approach also deftly ports over to all type of craft, pits, and walls. “Long before he won a world title in 2022,” Michael Adno writes in TSJ 33.3, “Harrison Roach was known as a surfer’s surfer, admired for balancing a career that was made from equal parts curiosity, creativity, and complexity. Some knew him for winning three Duct Tape Invitationals and for surfing for brands like Rhythm, Deus, and Roark, some from appearing in films by Thomas Campbell and Andrew Kidman, always surfing longboards well, properly surfing single-fins at Pipe and alaias in heavy surf.” Hit the link to read “Proper by Any Measure: From Noosa Shire to the Bitter South with Harrison Roach” in full. https://www.surfersjournal.com/editorial/harrison-roach-proper-by-any-measure/
