From Portugal to the Outter Banks
The end of July saw two trips for Vic team riders; Portugal and the Outter Banks in North Carolina. Attending Portugal was Morgan Just, Teddy Vlasis, and Johnny Salta which from the sounds of it had a fantastic time. Great weather, great waves, great friends, great food …… we think you get the picture. The boys were taken care of by the locals and enjoyed two different skim contests while in country. The top results of the UST contest in Portugal were:
1) Sam Stinnett
2) Hugo Santos
3) Blair Conklin
4) Eduardo Joaquim
While Johnny returned home after Portugal, Morgan and Teddy flew directly to Philadelphia, hopped in the car for about for 7-8 hours and made there way to Kill Devil Hills, NC. Catching some quick rest, the guys got themselves ready for the Outter Banks Skim Contest run by Skim City. Battle after battle ensued and the final results of the OBX contest were:
1) Perry Pruit
2) Sam Stinnet
3) Dave Scott
4) Jason Wilson
5) Brad Domke
6) Tim Fulton
Teddy and Morgan remain 3rd and 4th on the UST respectively and had a fantastic time on their journey across the continent and across continents. Congratulations boys on representing Vic so well!
