Let’s Skim!!!!!
Mexico is home to some of the best surf around the world along with some pretty great weather. From the town of Melaque comes Cesar Cortez, or Tule as most know him. With skills that put him at the top of the class, he is a sight to keep your eyes on. Special thanks to X3M for putting together this little gem. Enjoy!
X3M (Victoria Skimboards distributor in Mexico) has released the dates of their yearly skimboarding contest in Melaque, Mexico. If you have not been, you should go as the hospitality of Diego and his crew cannot be beat. Plus, you have Mexico at its finest with some serious breaks for your enjoyment.
Melaque Skim Contest 2012
March 9, 10, 11
Hopefully we will see you there.
The Pro Model boards for 2012 are almost here! Morgan Just, Brandon Rothe, Matthieu Thibaud, and Tex Haines bring their knowledge of riding to their respective Pro Model boards which will be available for you. Keep a watch on the beach for the riders with their boards and on the Victoria website for a “first look” into the design of each board.
Welcome in 2012 with style on a new Pro Model skimboard from your favorite rider.
Victoria Skimboards is pleased to bring back the “Daily Photo” so everyone can get a taste of the beach.

Our friend Patrick in Germany has a Blog and recently he used his new Victoria board to demonstrate how to put on traction. Check out his Blog at http://www.inlandskimgermany.de/2011/11/waveskim-how-to-do-traction-pad-on-the-board/
Times in Germany are cold but Patrick and his crew brave the harsh weather for some good Flatland, Ocean, and Kite skimboarding. More power to you!

“A Day In The Life Laguna Beach” is a public art project that master sculptor Randy Morgan has envisioned and is to be gifted to the community. It is a bronze bas-relief sculptured mural 40 feet by 12 feet in the classic old world style. Randy’s vision for this piece pays tribute and homage to the rich ocean heritage and waterman culture pf Laguna Beach.
The finished piece will be placed on the Hobie building in downtown Laguna Beach. The art has been approved and accepted by the city of Laguna Beach and will be presented in April 2012. To see Tex Haines involvement in the project, check out the website @ http://adayinthelifelagunabeach.com/
Recently, ESPN’s show SportsNation ran a quick clip on skimboarding. Part of those clips was our own Teddy Vlasis. We were stoked to see skimboarding hit the national airwaves if even for only a moment.
Check out the clip below.
Yuto Kishida is from Japan and one of the top amateur skimboarders in the country. He has been riding a Victoria board through his sponsor Skim One for many years and Victoria Skimboards is pleased to announce his formal addition to the Victoria Skimboards Team. With his frequent trips to the United States and constant dedication to the sport of skimboarding, he will be a force to be reckoned with very soon. Keep your eyes out for Yuto as he blasts into 2012!
