The extremities
Here we have two clips. One is Thomas Woods tearing apart 1 foot Forster slop. The other has the crazy Tasmanians charging the death defying Shipsterns. A significant contrast between the two. Its a given that you will be in awe by the raw southern swells that hits Tassie. But even in weak 1 foot…

YOU ARE EVERYTHING
I have spent many days in the Lacanau car park idling under the scorching sun waiting for heats. The gutters always reek of urine and the waves are usually tiny. But the following week everything changes. We are back in Hossegor. God I love this place. Waves, women and night life. All the boys are…
SURFS UP!
A few weekends back, upon seeing the swell that was about to hit the east coast, VelvetSea decided it was time to get up off our arses and bail the big smoke. With an absence of filmers available and getting sick of the back and forth that was happening, we thought, fuck it, we’ll do it…

VelvetSea have been up on the Gold Coast scoring some fun sessions on the QLD points, which is rare for Sydney siders. We are now back at home faced with the usual mush we regularly grovel in. Things are looking up though as Autumn swells are just around the corner. To farewell the Summer, here’s a new clip…
A DINGO’S TALE
If you grew up, or have been involved with, the Australian surfing community in the last 20 years then chances are Dean ‘Dingo’ Morrison was in your top 5 favourite surfers list. He was, and still is for that matter, one of the most influential surfers for Aussie groms for quite some time. A Day…
Some Rain Must Fall
When the rain falls, the streets are empty,the skateparks are deserted and football fields are flooded. All there is to do is surf.
Sam Page takes us through a dark, mysterious look at the wet underworld of Manly. His surfing shines through.

JACK BE NIMBLE
Today while most of us were staring at computer screens, or digging holes, Jack Freestone was busy getting pitted out of his mind and throwing down tweaked air reverses to win the Oakley World Junior in Bali and finally, Australia, we have a World Junior Champ… Well sort of. You see people, this year, if…
