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!

The newest video release from Victoria Skimboards, Random Analog, is here. A fun collection of lifestyle, skimboarding action, and artistic flavor filmed and edited by professional team rider Brandon Rothe.

“It could be a new way of looking at things” states Trigg of Victoria Skimboards.

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.

Our distributor in Mexico (X3M) put on a contest in Manzanillo recently with great success. Check out the video below.

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.
