  • "Lost Track New Zealand" takes you on a journey of a lifetime through the remote wilderness of New Zealand in search of perfect waves and life long memories. Follow surfer Torren Martyn and film maker Ishka Folkwell as they embark on a three month motorbike adventure into the depths of this great southern land.
    After carefully customising Royal Enfield motorcycles to carry surfboards and all the essentials, Torren and Ishka battle the elements as they ride through storms, survive near death experiences and experience moments of bliss, all on a quest to escape into nature and ride perfect waves. In this feature film produced by needessentials, filmmaker Ishka Folkwell captures Torren’s timeless surfing against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth. Set to an outstanding original soundtrack composed by Headland and Nick Bampton.
    Lost Track New Zealand allows you to ride along on an epic adventure and reminds us that although life has its highs and lows, if you can ride those waves you'll always find contentment in a deep connection with nature and the ocean.

    Thank you Need Essentials for making the best surfing films of the last 40 years. The sort of stuff that inspires you to change your life. I just want you and all the surfers to know how magical these works of art are.

    I Recently watched some footage of Bali in the 70’s and noticed a few comments particularly from younger folk saying how lucky we were back then and basically how everything has been discovered and is now crowded and shitty. so it truly warms my soul to see adventurous young guys like you2 out there just doing it with such style and simplicity. I did an NZ surf trip in the 70’s and even though it was amazing I’m truly in awe of your journey, so well shot and edited has a similar back to nature vibe of Morning of the Earth. May you continue to live in the moment, enjoy. Much respect Grahame

    Just wow. I've done roadies to most of these places and spent weeks surfing them, you have captured these locations so perfectly. By the way, I don't think that hunter meant to put you wrong about Careys Hut, it's most likely that it's a difference in perception. We hike that hut all the time and I wouldn't have considered it far either. Amazing work guys, I this will take its place as maybe the best NZ surf movie I've ever seen.

Awesome adventure and such a welcome piece of surf movie creation in a world of corporate surf trips and logos everywhere plus those ruddy energy drinks(... that stuff will rot ya teeth). 5 stars all the way!
