Professional Vic rider Teddy Vlasis just recently got himself a GoPro video camera. He has been in the water a ton as of late trying to amass footage so keep your eyes peeled to the Victoria site for a Teddy video soon.
Here is a shot of Teddy driving down the line.
The weather may have been gloomy but the waves were not. Check out a few members of the Victoria Skimboards team pushing through the gray to find some solid wraps on the northern side of Aliso this last January.
