Vaer has always been an ocean-based brand, so it's only fitting that our first-ever documentary is, at heart, about a life lived at sea. Our first film, The Urchin Diver, explores the life and career of a Conner Rhoads, a 2nd generation Urchin Diver based in Ventura, California. In addition to showcasing the unique challenges of an independent fisherman, the film sheds a spotlight on the region's declining ocean ecosystem, specifically, the disappearance of healthy kelp forests along America's Pacific coast.
