HAPPY MONDAY | JENNIFER STENGLEIN
Following on from our previous photographer-based #VSHAPPYMONDAYS, we present to you another one of our favourites, this time, West Australia’s Jennifer Stenglein.
#VSLIKES | FULL PART
Velvet Sea has always kept an eye on Jamie Krupp’s talent, knowing that sooner or later he would transform out of grommet hood and add some extra meat onto those skinny bones. Jamie’s latest clip shows that the time may have already come, digging into his rail turns and throwing the fins with the best of…
#VSFRAMES | KATHERINE
Still being relatively new to NYC, the thought of shooting fashion on rooftops and the yellow cab is still a fancy feature, so when Katherine got in touch to shoot, my rooftop in Brooklyn was the first thing that popped into my head. One of our mates from B_Space on Mulberry St, Nolita sorted us…
#VSFRAMES | KIKI
Kiki is blonde, super fit and very shy when sober, one of those stories where first impressions can be very deceiving.
HAPPY MONDAY | AKILA BERJAOUI
For todays #VSHAPPYMONDAY we’re doing a shout out to one of our favorite Aussie photographers Akila Berjaoui and her amazing celebration of the female form.
#VSFRAMES | HAPPY EASTER
In the spirit of Easter we’ve decided to post one of the people with the nicest souls we know.
#VSFRAMES | CASSANDRA
Back in 2012 a very hungover Cassandra rocked up on my doorstep on a sunny Sunday morning willing to have a crack at her first photo shoot. All I had laying around the place were some my random clothes and Velvet Sea tee’s. The rolling is the result of a few hours of Cass, random clothing and good tunes.
Hope you enjoy it;
#VSFILMS : VEL | VET
Velvet Sea’s 2013/14 feature film. Underground talent, heavy soundtrack, surf and skate. The world of VEL | VET
MADE IN HAWAII
Red Bull have just dropped the first film in their new series, “Made In”, this time featuring Hawaii and more importantly, Mason Ho.
WEEKEND WARRIORS
We thought we’d throw together a post, with the best of the web, to help nurse that hangover and get you moving into the day!
#VSSOUNDS : CUT SNAKE – SOLÉ FIXTAPE VOL. 29
It’s always a great day when it’s spent listening to a Cut Snake mix. This #vssounds is perfect for the weekend and a few beers (or a case, vodka, whatever) in the sun.
#VSSOUNDS : CUT SNAKE
Our best mates and house music aficionados, Cut Snake have just dropped a new mix to support their appearance at Splash House this weekend. It’s a sexy, groovy ride through the deeper ends of house and will get you dancing all the way into the weekend.
STRANGE RUMBLINGS…
Globe have just released the trailer to Strange Rumblings In Shangri La, the new film by the always on point, Joe G. Shot over 2 years, the film documents the team as they scour the world searching for spots that you couldn’t even dream up after a bag of magic mushrooms. Year Zero was, in…
SCULPT SESSIONS
This video was made by Harrison Dancaster who usually shoots stills but doesn’t mind flicking the switch over to video mode to craft together sweet little edits like this one. You may remember a video he made from another trip down south with Brett Burcher and Scott ‘Whippet’ Dennis charging 10 feet slabs clocking up…
DEMONS DON’T SLEEP
Desillusion Magazine have just dropped another brilliant short film, this time on Californian surfer, skater and motorbike enthusist, Troy Elmore.
DILLON, IRON & RESIN
Two short films have just dropped which are certainly worth your time. The subjects in each of the clips are from California and both share a left of centre, outcast type, personality. The films feature Malibu surfer, Dillon Perrillo and Ventura label, Iron & Resin and are shot and cut by Morgan…
FROM THE SAME | RILEY BLAKEWAY
Riley Blakeway has just dropped a new short film. The film explores the subject of creativity and is narrated by Warren Smith. Shot around Warren’s Downtown LA Warehouse, the film is an epic piece of cinematography and touches on a human trait that we all feel deeply.

BETTER OPEN
We love a DIY attitude here at Velvet Sea. It’s what we were built on and live by. This clip by young south coast up-and-comer, Louis Gillick is pure DIY fun and those waves, wow.
Enjoy
DILLON/MALIBU
There’s just something about the way Dillon Perillo surfs. In our opinion, he’s a modern day Tom Curren. The same smooth, drawn out lines, with a fresh twist. Anyway, enough talk, watch the clip and see for yourself. Short, sharp and punchy!
Enjoy

CAFFIENDS
Runamuk Visuals constantly, and consistently, pump out quality goods and this is no different. No bullshit, quality art and production from some absolute legends in the Australian surf and art community.

NTI SHEETO
To use their words, “Nti Sheeto (Knee-sheet-o) is a surf film illustrating the contrast between the psychedelic and magical natural wonders of Indonesia with the surreal and demented trappings of it’s darker nighttime street culture.”.

#VSFILMS | OLD CURLS | NEW SKIN
A collaboration with Velvet Sea and Kai Otton.
Matt King – Summer Clouds
Be aware of this young kid, Matt King. He is from the south coast of NSW which for a professional surfer, can be a little hard to get noticed. He and his talented friend Dane Singleton produce these little clips on the reg. Fun lookin’ waves eh?
JJ – Departure Delayed
John John just premiered his movie Done in Hawaii just a few weeks ago. This is what he has accumulated over the last month in Hawaii. Not in his movie, just a web clip. But not your average web clip, surfing and skating by Greyson Fletcher this clips the shit!

~
While I was putting together my recent videos in France, the crew spent plenty of time at a bar called Le Surfing.
On the other side of the bar was Nick Pumphrey, shaking away countless cocktails to help our confidence with the hornets.
The commotion cleared and the tour made their way across the arid spanish countryside to Supertubos.
I tagged along with Nick.
I had the chance to see how he operated behind the lens and sticky beaked at the results.
I really liked his style of photography so i decided to put this post together.

Dane Reynolds has recently injured himself and I think It’s almost ok to say “it’s about time”, well its not ok but you get our drift. Dane surfs harder than anyone on this planet and, quite frankly, its a bit of a surprise his body lasted this long. Unfortunately this means the fresh footage flowing from Marinelayerproductions…

Jay Grant’s a busy man. He has been in Hawaii filming for Billabong. He is also best friends and neighbours with Craig Anderson. About 3-4 years ago Craig bought a video camera worth about $3000, not so he himself could film, but to give to Jay to use for his own purposes. Next thing you…

Duncan Mcnicol is a name you may not be familiar with.
