I’m quite old now, had multiple joint replacements and can barely get to my feet off the floor let alone dropping into a decent wave. Watching surfing like this both makes me happy and also want to curl up and die. I look back at the waves I passed up and the opportunities to get out in the water because it was to cold, to early or some other piss arsed reason and want to cry.
Nick - Yep 👍 great suggestion … ease into some beginner yoga classes Mit… take it easy… then just go paddle a bigger board, the strength will return… then paddle into a few - No excuses above ground❕☝️😁😆
I love his style because it reminds me of 70’s surfers, his whole line is fluid. He’s not sitting there doing chop hops to set up for an air and that’s it. It’s like I like to watch pool skaters rather than street skaters, going in a straight line, hitting a handrail and that’s it.
Incredible style as always. Nice to see the quiver! My main board is a 5'6" retro fish and it's inspiring to see him riding heavy waves on similar boards. I also love surfing my 7'8" middie as a twin and I agree that mid lengths can be super fun and flowy on all kinds of waves. 🤙🏻🌊
Torren is so smooth. Love the flow and projection he gets out of his turns on those Twin fins. I haven’t ridden one for at least 30 years maybe time to order one again.
i remember having success with an old late 90’s mid size (maybe 6’9”) pintail that was a thruster but i started surfing as a twin.. it was still able to get good drive but was able to get some fun controlled sliding manoeuvres when you wanted.. it’s worth experimenting
Please get a look at their fins when looking at quivers. Would mean so much to me if Toryn could talk about different fins between the shorter and longer boards. or if he rides different fins on the same board depending... etc shot a lot!
Last rode a twin fin in 1980 without a lot of success. Think a mid length twinny might be interesting more rail would tone down the out of control slide. Good fun riding different style of boards.
hi Torren can you share which board are you riding on 3:08 and the last one the 6'10 ? :) you have amazing style and grave and so fun to watch your videos
I agree mate. For a while now I feel like I'm struggling to surf my small boards as well as I get older. These 7-8 foot boards he is riding look phenomenal under the foot. And way more user friendly
With all due respect, mid lengths are super hot at the moment. The coolest thing after sliced bread, so to speak. Seriously though, mid-lengths are the new hype...
Cool video. Can someone please tell me what the width of the nose is on MOTE Fiji board? (width 12” back from tip of nose). I can’t find a way to contact MOTE. Thanks 🙏🏼
I want to see what happens when you guys get on mushrooms or acid and get into the shaping bay and/or surf to test out the boards. That's where the magic really happens 😎🤙
Amaizing surf. Though, "literage and all that shit". Why not use volume as a reference? I mean, it's ok if we didn't have that, but it's the 2020's and he calls bullshit on volume 😬. By the way, literage is not a word, as far as I know.
Im going to criticize here .Torren is a great surfer, probably a nice guy, but the blind ignorance about his own equipment is appalling . abandoning the scientific method ,there will be hundreds of surfers now following his blind faith of abandoning numbers costing unsuspecting surfboard consumers thousands of dollars, adding frustration and confusion to an already bastardized industry. Other than that,New surfers should be studying his style and technique, cause that’s how its done people.
If people were to follow his ‘blind faith’ then that’s their own problem... They would be neglecting the fact that he has an intimate relationship with his shaper... They can test things out and not have to worry too much about costs... It’s not blind faith, it’s just trial and error and trusting your shaper.
