Victoria Skimboards is pleased to introduce some new limited edition artwork for your skimboard. These are “one-offs” which means that once we sell the first one, you will not be able to get another at this time. That does not mean we will never have it anymore but for now we only have one of each art design.
Everything is up and ready in the online store for you to place your order so please check it out at: Victoria Skimboards Online Store Limited Edition Artwork.
Thanks and enjoy!
Victoria team rider Nolan Rodgers turned ten (10) years old on Friday, May 11, 2012. To celebrate, Nolan and his family gathered a few of his friends and had a skim party at Thalia. Joining in on the fun were two of Victoria’s professional riders, Matthieu Thibaud and Teddy Vlasis. Boy oh boy, young kids sure know how to have fun!!
The Green Eggs & Am contest series concluded this last weekend (April 29, 2012) at West St. in Laguna Beach. Johnny Salta took second place in his division but was a winner on courage alone. Johnny had to get stitches in his head during the contest and decided that he wanted to “go for the gold” and continue to compete. With stitches and Speedo swim cap in place, Johnny jumped back in the water and gave Ken Suzuki all that he could handle. Tied at the end of the heat, the contest organizers had to go back on the judge’ scoring sheets and count back a few waves in order to break the tie. Ken squeaked out a win over Johnny but again, the warrior came up strong and we give him props. There are not many people that would continue to compete with stitches.
Congratulations to all Victoria Skimboards riders that participated in the series and to Johnny for his finish at West St. and Nolan Rodgers for his “Trifecta” performance (best overall through the contest series with a 2nd at Balboa, 1st at Aliso and 3rd at West).
Nolan Rodgers is an active young man with a great family supporting his endeavors. From snowboarding to skimboarding to skateboarding to soccer, you name it and it seems that young Nolan is all over it. For instance, here is a video clip put together by Nolan’s father of Nolan at Mammoth Mountain a few weeks ago. Since the snow season this year was not everything we all hoped it would be, this little video might make you nostalgic. Enjoy!
Victoria Skimboards is proud to be a part of the Hawaiian Amateur Skimboard League (HASL) and kick the season off with the “Dangerour Shorebreak” contest on March 17, 2012 at Sandy Beach, Oahu.
A direct quote from the contest organizers, “early on in the week conditions looked optimum for a contest but come contest day Sandy Beach through in a challenge. There was a little swell in the water with gusting winds but the competitors pushed through and still had a good time.”
Congratulations to all competitors and to Eric and his crew behind the scenes at HASL! Once again, Victoria Skimboards was stoked to be a part of such a great series of events. Check out the video of the event…….
Vic team rider Matthieu Thibaud graced the pages of the Laguna Beach Magazine in the April 2012 issue. Discussing everything from his skimboarding beginnings to his travels to the United States and his current life in the US, Matthieu weaves a tale of following your dream and succeeding through hard work and dedication.
Check out Matthieu’s article in the Laguna Beach Magazine which is on stands now. His article begins on page twenty four (24).
Victoria team riders Morgan Just and Trevor Stanaland take a journey north of Laguna Beach and find some adventure along the way. With Santa Cruz being the final destination and an attitude of pack your things, hop in the car, and go, the boys sure had some fun.
Filmed by Brett Mann and edited by Tony Bianchi, enjoy the ride with Victoria.
Every year the Victoria Skimboards Mexican distributor (X3M) puts on one hell of a contest. Year 2012 was no different. With the likes of USA based riders Brandon Rothe, Morgan Just, and Jon Howell in attendance the FUN was in full effect.
Enjoy the video put together by contest director Diego. Melaque is a place we all need to go to some day. Enoy!!
The Green Eggs & AM contest series started this last weekend up in Newport Beach. Put on each year by Paulo Preitto, the Green Eggs & AM is a great contest series for amateur skimboarders to get ready for the contest season. Full results of the contest will be available soon but Victoria’s Matthieu Thibaud took some pictures and did get results of the Advanced division. A shout out to Johnny Salta for taking 1st place in the Advance division beating out Zane Waysz, Kenneth Suzuki, and Jeremiah Sheldon and then to Nolan Rodgers for taking 2nd place in the Beginner division.
The next event will be West Street on March 31, 2012.
Skimboarding is fun and that is the bottom line. Our friend Tony Bianchi filmed and edited some of the guys at the Wedge in Newport Beach, CA. Take a look and enjoy!
