You don't have to surf to know what looks good when it comes to wave riding. It might help, but style like that of famed Australian surfer Torren Martyn is a universal language—it just looks good, and dang fun. As for spots, the picturesque palm tree lined waters of Nias, Indonesia make pairs perfectly with Martyn's breezy, yet powerful way of motion.

Long story short, "Ocean Motion," the latest from Italian filmmaker Alessio Saraifoger, is well worth a handful of minutes on this slow moving Monday morning.
