Who knows what will be next……….
Victoria Skimboards team riders are getting into the world of blogging. If you look over to the right hand side of this blog you will see “Victoria Blogs” which will link you directly to the blogs of our different team riders. Matthieu Thibaud is up and running as we speak so check back often to see who else joins the fray.
New Jersey local and Victoria Skimboards team rider, Sean Stratton is in the house. Just making it out of Jersey before the airport got socked in with snow, Sean is out West for a little fun in the sun. No one told him that it has been rainy in California and maybe that is why we are getting the “don’t bother me now” finger.
Enjoy your stay Sean and try not to get sick in the contaminated water.
It’s almost time to head to one of our favorite contests again. Melaque is one of the most best up and coming spots full of great waves and great talent. Check out the site for more info.

Thursday Sumner Miller and I zipped up to Baldy to take advantage of a season ticket deal thru the Chamber of Commerce, only $49. Sums had the bro connections and got a guest pass. But it was so windy they wouldn’t open. Had us standing in line like penguins for 2 hours before they would open. Rest of the day was pretty damn nice. A bit windy at first, then very still and clear the rest of the day. Good snow, thought pretty choppy in the trees. I hacked. Hiking boots are definitely not suitable for boarding. And yes I did know better. Craigs list here I come for some boots. Sums floated and carved all over, and was a heck of a good tour guide.

Victoria Skimboards amateur team rider, Scooter Hayes, left the skimboard on the beach but took to the chilly waters of the East Coast during the Holiday Season with good friends on his hand crafted Victoria Skimboards surfboard. Yes we said surfboard.
A little known side benefit of working for Victoria Skimboards is that you get to learn how to shape your own surfboard. Tex is a learned shaper and ready to teach anyone willing to learn. Scooter took his 8′ dreamsicle that he shaped with Tex into the cold waters during New Years and showed the water no mercy.
Congratulations on the friends, the fun, and not sinking on your board Scooter.
Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Stay safe so we can see you on the beaches in 2010!
