Gear Up: Everything You Need from the Victoria Skimboards Shop
Whether you’re riding the shores of Laguna Beach or chasing the next clean wave down the coast, having the right gear makes all the difference. Victoria Skimboards has been shaping boards and building culture since 1976 — and the shop reflects exactly that: no fluff, just solid equipment made for riders who know what they’re doing.
Here’s a closer look at what’s currently available.
The Boards: Fishtail & Classic
Fishtail
The Fishtail is built for riders who want responsiveness and a bit more control through turns. The split tail design gives you added grip on the wave face, making it a go-to choice when the shorebreak at Laguna Beach is playing nice. The construction is what you’d expect from Victoria: dense, durable, and made to last through season after season of hard riding.
Classic
The Classic is exactly what it sounds like, a proven shape that’s stood the test of time. Balanced, predictable, and incredibly well-built, it’s the board you reach for when you want consistency. Intermediate riders will appreciate how forgiving it is without sacrificing performance. In Southern California, where beach conditions can shift fast, a board you can rely on every session is worth its weight.
Freak Traction Pads
Grip matters more than most riders admit until they’re sliding off their board mid-run. Freak traction pads offer a clean, aggressive texture that keeps your feet locked in without tearing up your skin after a long session. They apply flat, stay on, and hold up in saltwater. Designed with the kind of rider in mind who doesn’t want to think about their gear. A simple upgrade that makes a real difference on slippery finishes and late drops.
Transit Bag
If you’re heading down to Aliso Beach, Thalia Beach or loading up for a weekend trip, the Victoria Transit Bag is the only bag you need. It fits up to 8 boards with room to spare, which means you’re covered whether you’re riding solo or rolling with the whole crew. The bag is built sturdy, the handles hold. Exactly what a session bag should be.
Tee-Shirts
The Victoria tee collection keeps it straightforward. Available in blue, grey, green, and black , they’re the kind of shirts you end up wearing everywhere, not just at the beach. Clean branding, quality fabric, nothing overdone. If you’re repping Victoria, you’re repping 50 years of skimboarding history on the California coast.
Where to Find It
All of this is available directly through the Victoria Skimboards shop. Whether you’re gearing up for your first real season or replacing boards you’ve ridden into the ground, the lineup covers what you need. Boards built right, grip that works, a bag that fits your whole quiver, tees that hold up, and more.
Stop by, or shop online. The lineup speaks for itself.
