VARSITY BLUES

Winter is finally upon us and we have some definitive styles and themes coming through in the men's and ladies apparel range this year. The varsity / collegic style apparel is on-trend now and has been very popular in our stores recently, particularly from brands like Obey, Zoo York, Krew, Mitchell & Ness, Penny, Elwood and Vans amongst others. We still have lots of fresh and exciting new styles under this theme dropping in our stores for the next two months.

 Below is a shot from our upcoming winter look book that will be available to view online next month. You will also see campaign posters in-store around the same time.

SEA STOKE

Our good friend Gary Parker is about to release his latest project to the world, Sea Stoke. Sea Stoke is a new online publication that pays homage to the sea by exploring it's relationship with humans. It is a collective of stories, interviews, art, music and film. Contributors will be sourced locally, nationally and from abroad so that it is consistently thought-provoking and presents different voices, perspectives and styles through its content. 

The magazine launch and opening event will be held Friday 13th April at Boom Gallery in Geelong. For more info see the Sea Stoke flyer below and check out our favourite artist profiles pulled from Sea Stoke's Facebook page here.

WHAT YOUTH

Here is the trailer for Kai Neville's latest film 'What Youth' which features all the crew from Lost Atlas. Judging by the trailer, I think you can expect another great film from the master.

AUTUMN ARRIVALS

Autumn is here and we are starting to see some classic autumn colourways but also some interesting patterns coming through in the ladies range. This selection of clothing and prints is from Billabong and Volcom and should just be starting to hit stores this weekend!

PROXY NOISE

Proxy Noise is the brain child of Pro surfer Dion Agius and Warren Smith. Released on their blog either monthly or whenever they feel like it, Proxy Noise is a web based alternative surf and photography magazine, two things that warren and Dion share a passion for.

The latest issue features trips to India and Northern California. Below are some of our favourite spreads, to view the entire mag and check out their blog, click here.

LEESIDE HALLOWEN JAM

Leeside is a skatepark in Vancouver Canada. Check out this halloween themed skate party with werewolves, scarecrows, banana men and fireworks amongst other cool things.

RVCA COLLABORATION

The latest collaborative piece from RVCA's Artist Network Program is this special project fusing illustration, fabric patchwork & surfboard shaping/glassing. The piece includes the talents of Benjamin Jeanjean illustrating, the fabric patchwork of 'Sew ‘n Sing' all blended together by Blend Glassing to create a work of art on a RVCA surfboard. This project appealed so much to us as the three creative elements used in this project are core to the Ozmosis brand.

SKEETA

Ozmosis team rider Peter 'Skeeta' Derham just sent us this pic. He didn't say where or when it was but we're guessing somewhere in Victoria. Anyway he's getting barrelled and that's the main thing! Looks like its been shot on a GoPro. Those little cameras are amazing.
