Women’s Pro Event

Victoria Skimboards is stoked to host the first Women’s Pro event. Thanks to a compelling DVD called Skim Chicks, which features many of the top women skimboarders, this years Victoria World Championships of Skimboarding will debut the first Women’s Pro division. Gone are the days of going last in degenerating conditions. The men’s Pro division has traditionally taken the best time of day for the conditions. Now, a coin toss will decide who, men or women, has first priority to go when conditions are best. Prize money will be proportional to the number of entrants in each division. All other scheduling traditions will continue. Saturday will begin with the youngest amateur divisions and proceed up thru the age groups. Sunday the order is reversed, so that the youngest kids, our sports most future stars, will go last as the contest finale.

Tex Haines
President.

Late night session

Who says you have to skim during the day? And, who says it has to be all ocean all the time?

Well, we at Victoria Skimboards think that Flatland is an integral part of our sport and recently decided to take flatland to the night. A test run proved that there is plenty to learn but also plenty that can be done. A fun night and something we all look forward to doing again in the near future.

Lights, camera, action!
Morgan Just doing his thing.
Just the first step in the beginning of a process.

Bill Bryan

Jaime Lovett

Congratulations to all involved on a solid event.
