- Thank You Mother is a cinematic journey of surfing, simplicity and appreciation. It is a film that isn't afraid to be beautiful, stylish and sincere. Produced by needessentials, this film by Torren Martyn and Ishka Folkwell that features an original soundtrack by Nick Bampton and narration by award winning Australian film maker and life long simplest Albert Falzon, who made the seminal 1970 surf film 'Morning of the Earth'.
'Thank You Mother’ was made four years ago and up until now has only been available to a small audience. The film began as a story about the act of creating a surfboard and the art of riding one, exploring the connection between surfer Torren Martyn and his friend, mentor and surfboard shaper Simon Jones of 'Morning of the Earth Surfboards'. This naturally led to the doorstep of another friend and mentor, Albert Falzon and the film became more about connection, creativity and friendship, about surfing, being happy, and living simply.
Shot on location in South Africa, Indonesia and Australia, Ishka Folkwell's original and artful approach to film making captures something of the essence of these places, bringing them to life on screen. Nick Bampton's original musical score was composed for the film, so as Torren Martyn glides with style and power, carving beautiful lines into clean walls, the music echoes the mood and rhythm of his movements perfectly. Perhaps the most powerful element of this creative collaboration between surfers, shapers, filmmakers and musicians is the truth and beauty of Albert Falzons reflections on life. With humility and charisma he offers viewers the keys to a life of contentment, explaining that happiness comes not from having more or being the best, but from having good friends and being kind. 'Thank You Mother' is a film that celebrates appreciation of the simple things and stays with viewers long after they have watched it.
THIS WHAT YOU CALL SURFING, dancing with MOTHER NATURE, pure bliss, I'm 69 started surfing at 10 takes one back to those early days of surfing, a bit different to what the WSL gives us which revolves around only one thing "MONEY".
I can relate. I am 66 and still as stoked and passionate about surfing as I was when I was 11. You captured the vibe. Beautiful film.
simply beautiful
Effortless and hypnotizing, pure incarnation of style
Agreed. It’s almost spiritual
Thank you mother, isn’t just a canonical surf film, it’s an instruction manual for being present and happy. It’s as if Allan Watts surfed.
word!
Such a cruisy surfer, a pleasure to watch
Elements, poetry, surf and the fluidity style of Torren …❤️🌏🌊🏄♂️👭👬👫🤩so beautyfull 😘🤙
Thank you for this film, I really needed this experience in my life tonight
It feels that a like button isn't enough to show how amazing their movies are.
Thank you for making this beautiful film available 🙏🏼
anyone spotted a shark 6:40??? Great content btw!
That was definitely not a dolphin! I reckon a white shark for sure.
shot shit anyone else seen that massive fin at 6:41
Enjoyed watching the film. Thanks for including the backhand quota.
I rarely see him surfing back hand ,but whenever he does I get chocked by his back hand surf style.
Thank you guys for keeping the soul in surfing.
Another beautiful production from team Tishka, I didn’t want it to end. The surf, the tracks, the insights and philosophy. I had the pleasure of meeting Simon recently and I can tell you he practices the words he preaches here, he is as calm and kind of a soul as you can imagine. Keep this stuff coming, you guys are the future we need. ❤️🌈🤙🏼
protect, respect and appreciate... she'll keep on givin 🤙🏻 ... awesome cinematography!
...eloquent, soul stirring, reflective, a guidebook for any caring sentient being.... superb stylish surfing second to NONE.
Thank for sharing this movie. It´s completely epic. The music, the storyteller is amazing and of course the surfer. I can show it to my child and say - it´s real soul surfing.
Pure soul and stoked living. Surf naturally high, no stressed style. Gracias amigo.
One of the best surf films I have seen in a while! Thank you!
Amazing surfing, filming and company backing up what life/surfing is all about
As Albert puts it, It’s effortless and it brings great reward, being generous and open in no matter what form is indeed rewarding. To sense those rewards and to be also thankful must bring elevation to a frequency not too many experience. Thanks for this video and so long ago, MOTE. Loved watching Torren and Simon’s surfing. I had a board from Simon some years ago, it was a cracker. Good on all of you. Living what you speak is enviable..goods friends of Earth, mother.
The placement of his back foot is very interesting.
Same. He rides that rail with his big flippers.
Cuz he's trying to pressure the rail to project down the line and keep speed through turns. Not crank of the bottom to go vertical and cutback to blow off speed.
@@hanaleisurfcompany9312 I get it. That’s normal on a surf sup but is very unusual on a surfboard though.

Loved your movie 🎉
How great is God and his creations ❤
An outstanding in-depth appreciation of the spiritual soul of the sport of
Kings …
"... and that's the beauty of the ocean... it brings you right back into the present when you're riding a wave"
Anyone else get the feeling Torren met the devil on a dusty back road and traded his soul for perfect surfing? How else do you get that good?
Edit: Actually it's probably reaching a level of zen enlightenment through good living and meditation. Got it.
Ishka and you are allways an inspiration.
TM is the Flow-Master🤯
As a beginner I like watching him get into the wave 7:56, noticing his backfoot is closer to inside rail

Rad..Keep Posting.
Wait, is that a shark fin at 6:39?
better intro than 90 procent in hollywood.
love the vids of the footwork.
finally i see shapers with actually good masks that really filter the air.
What boards do you ride ?
you don't surf you can fly on the waves !
30:30 on is pure magic, that is what it’s all about
Transcendental
Too high but so worth it(that last blast)😋
yewwwww
Good stuff starts at 6:40.
Is that a shark fin right then?
@@julienroubinet3373 right? Surprisingly no mention in the comments
Crazy
@@julienroubinet3373been trying to figure that out myself and your comment is the only other one about! It doesn’t match a white shark shape. And looks absolutely massive back there. Hammerhead or nurse shark are the profiles it matches but the size unreal
Thank you world
What size is the "Massive" in the main opening session? Thanks Torren and Ishka, great film!
Thanks Michael that’s a 7’9 massive
the ultimate
dope as bra

At 6:40sec can anyone tell what that is in the waves in the top left corner?
Anyone know the size of the board????

Music at 7:00?
What's the dims of the board you ride dude?
They’re all pretty different here 5’4 - 7’9
