The week of the Bondi Vans Bowlarama turns the Beach Road Hotel into a frenzy.
Masters of the sport sell their vinyl collection while skateboarders queue across the mini ramp, trading off to the sounds of the bands close by.
Velvet sea was asked to cover the performances on stage and in the bowl.
For this #VSFRAMES, we’ve pulled together an old post and photo essay from Sam Page, shot in Copenhagen, 2012 and inspired by the sounds of Trentemoller.
Velvet Sea’s 2013/14 feature film. Underground talent, heavy soundtrack, surf and skate. The world of VEL | VET
Velvet Sea was given the privelege of producing a music video for the band ‘ The Bungalows’.
The creative freedom to conceptualise from scratch makes the mind run wild with different ideas, decisions and COLOURS.
‘Roll’
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…
I had the opportunity to film Brian Bielmann and Dusty Payne over a week in Hawaii.
Name: Ben Everden decentcrop.com http://decentcrop.tumblr.com Field: Social Media, and all things Digital How did you get into photography? It’s been a really long road. I was crazy for it in high school and used to ditch all my other classes to hang in the darkroom, I even used to teach some of the grades below…

A session after work and before the manager of Bathers Pavilion told us to get the hell out of there.
We were fortunate to squeak in a few attempts.
This Thursday the 13th, come and join us at The Steyne for the premiere of V E L | V E T, a film by Sam Page and supported by Waves Magazine.
Velvet Sea has just put the finishing touches on a new feature film to be released in the coming weeks.
A collaboration with Velvet Sea and Kai Otton.
OXBLVD’s song “Tease Me” relates a story that we’ve all been through. A gorgeous girl teases a guy, somewhat unintentionally, and knocks his socks off. Time is spent bedding the girl. Drinks, dancing, and feeling. Some of us win, and some lose. The song throbs along and oozes a sexiness that isn’t present in most…
Behind the scenes look into the 2012 Mambo Goddess Campaign in NYC featuring Cheyenne Tozzi and Jessica Gomes.
The 3rd annual Wills Joy Surf Memorial full of yew and saaaaa.
We raised $ 20, 000 for the Epilepsy Foundation this year!
If you skate and have been to NYC you might know this park. We were in town recently for the launch of Mambo in the US. We found this nicely contoured slab of concrete after the manager of our hotel asked us to take (Mambo skater) Brad McDermott outside “to play” after he’d jumped a…

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…
Velvet Sea headed north in winter this is part two from ‘Surfs Up’.
Waves were fun, water was warmer and sun was out.

Brad McDermott and some of his friends hit a park close to home.
Recently we were made aware of a competition that Kit Kat ANZ were running on their youtube channel, www.youtube.com/kitkatanz. We have entered the comp, albeit a bit late, and stand the chance of winning $10,000. We’re thinking that if we win we will use the money to buy beer and have a mental party. So…
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…

AGE? 21 RESIDES? Manly.. Syd.. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PAINTING? For as far back as the memory goes… WHY DID YOU START? Wanted to explain what I could not put into words! WHAT WAS THE FIRST PIECE OF ART WHICH YOU SOLD? HOW MUCH DID IT GO FOR? It was…

Kai heads south from the Gold Coast.
The empty, enjoyable waves on the Mid North Coast allow Kai to loosen up.
Three consecutive sessions.
Kai showing some flair..
enjoy.

In the last episode we saw Kai narrowly lose to Joel Parkinson. To surf so well and come so close to victory with so much on the line hurts. But at this level you need to know how to deal with disappointment. You need to reset your headspace and carry a positive mindset into the next…
When Kai graduated to the CT not many people expected greatness. But Kai surprised us all and has stamped himself as a major force. When he finds himself in a heat against one of surfing’s demi-gods (something that seems to happen to Kai more than any other surfer) he seems to be able to pull…
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…
Sam Page is one of the founders and a driving force behind VelvetSea. Film making is the field where Sam’s passion lies, but an interest in photography is what first triggered this.
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.
“Into each life, some rain must fall”
