Donate to help Chris Henderson
Chris Henderson is a legend of the sport and he needs your help. Having just undergone major surgery on his back to remove a sciatic condition that kept him from work and even sleep, Chris is on the mend and looks to be doing well. The road will be a long one and the financial hardship is taking its toll.
We here at Victoria Skimboards are doing all we can to help and ask that you please do the same. If you would like to Donate to help Chris and his family please either go to the Victoria Skimboards Retail Outlet in Laguna Canyon or click the link below to be taken to the Victoria Online Store. Once in the store, you can specify whatever amount you want to donate and then checkout just as you would if you were buying a board or other product. All proceeds will go directly to Chris and his family.
Victoria Skimboards thanks you for your support and wish Chris the best and speediest recovery possible.

Melaque, Mexico Results
The Professional results from the contest in Melaque, Mexico are in:
1) Sam Stinnett
2) Morgan Just
3) Tripas
4) Matthieu Thibaud
Hard fought battles through every round for all of the professional riders involved. The level of riding in Mexico is increasing each and every day which is fantastic to see. A heart felt thanks go out to Jorge and his brother Diego for putting on the event and making the stay for the Victoria riders so comfortable.
With still a few days remaining on the Victoria trip we look forward to some great clips and stills of the trip.
Melaque, Mexico
Victoria Skimboards is pleased to again be a part of the contest in Melaque Mexico this weekend (February 26 – 27, 2011) through our distributor X3M. Both Diego and Jorge have been working hard to make the event happen and we wish them the best.
Representing Victoria from the United States will be professional team riders Morgan Just, Brandon Rothe, and Matthieu Thibaud.
Help Chris Henderson
To all skimboarders and friends of Chris Henderson, Chris will be going in for micro surgery on his spine, down in the hip region. He has been MRI’ed recently and they discovered a growth on his spine. He has been suffering for years from a nearly paralyzing sciatic nerve condition that would agonize him almost daily and interfered with his sleep nearly every night. Our prayers go out to him, and the doctors, for a successful surgery.
There will be a fund raiser, featuring music by Eric Henderson, in the very near future, and we would expect that every living, breathing skimboarder, would stop and take the time to send him a donation and a short note of appreciation.
There is no greater hero in our sport.
The surgery will be very expensive and he will have significant recovery time to deal with. Donations may be sent directly to Victoria Skimboards as we will forward them on to Chris. Thank you and our best wishes go out to Chris.
