In a time where there are fences around everything, and we are denied the instinct of self‐preservation, it is difficult to find a place free from rules and restrictions, but not yet impossible. Surf movies come and go, a million waves in exotic locations and surfers flown in for three‐day shoots on perfect swells, but the spirit of adventure never dies. What began as a three‐month trip to a collection of surf breaks off the beaten track turned into a two‐year odyssey of exploration, injury, companionship and 4,000km of two‐wheeled, single‐finned escape from the real‐world burdens of modern life. Harrison Roach and Zye Norris pack their bags, a diverse quiver of boards, two bikes and a 50‐dollar tent into a 1970s Land Rover and embark on an epic quest from the southern reaches of Bali, through the Indonesian archipelago to Northern Sumatra’s isolated Lagundri Bay.

Deus ex Machina in collaboration with Raen are super stoked to present the latest occular extraviganza, ‘I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT’. To give you the good oil, the movie follows the simplistic travels of two surfers, meeting friends along the way, on an open ended journey across an archipelago littered with islands and breaks. Connected by ribbons of tarmac and separated by deep ocean valleys these islands have been here for millennia and will continue to do so for millennia to come. An veritable eden for waves of every nature, from long reeling glassy points breaks to sketchy urchin infested waves in the middle of nowhere.

Pro surfer Timmy Turner and photographer Dustin Humphrey wasted no time heading to Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami, but what began as a journey to document the big wave's destruction turned instead into a relief mission. This film tells that story. Rounding up a boat, food, medical supplies and a few goats, Turner and a band of surf buddies, journalists and doctors set sail to the remote islands of northern Sumatra.
