Hunter Martinez is an up-and-coming filmmaker from California. If you haven’t heard of him, you may want to start keeping tabs, because the 24 year old just dropped his debut full-length surf film, Lost in Thought. The film stands out for a number of reasons, the biggest being that it’s an independent film, entirely financed by Martinez and the surfers involved. Upon releasing the film, Martinez stated “I wanted to make this video of all my friends, at home/on trips having a good time and surfing the globe no sponsors involved, to show that we like to surf and I like to film because we truly just love it.” With a crew of America’s most talented underground surfers and full creative control, Lost in Thought captures the heart of surfing. This one is well worth 36 minutes of your time.

It’s certainly been a weird time for surfing. The WSL's season was canceled. Who knows when we’ll be able to safely hop on a plane for that dream surf getaway.

Sure, it doesn’t beat being on the beaches of
