Ojo Art Series

Victoria Skimboards is proud to announce the Tex Haines inspired “Ojo” series of custom art Skimboards for 2010. Gaining inspiration for the line from the company’s original artistic roots, “Ojo” is Spanish for “Eye” and every board in the series will have a spot on the bottom of the board signifying the “eye of the wave.”

“The boards will be an evolving art project. Each board will be slightly different in color dispersion for the deck and various art media combinations (airbrush, brush, stamp, pen, pencil) depending on what moves the artist that day” says owner Tex Haines. “A return if you will, to the days of old when Skimboards were all different and you could only generally request any particular design and had to accept whatever the artist created.”

Each board will be highlighted in a Featured Board photo on the Victoria Skimboards website listing the model and size. When you see what you like, call ASAP to get that board. Standard art charges will apply to each board. The eyes of the wave will be on you.

Grillin Time

Once again Friday was upon us here at Victoria Skimboards and the grill was in full effect. Today’s meals were some of the best so we thought it was best to put up some pictures.
A HUGE burger, some sausage with bacon, chicken, salmon, and then some delicious vegetables on skewers (or brochette if you are French) made our mouths water and our stomachs grumble. With the food in our bellies it is nap time!
Happy Friday and do not forget to check out the Melaque post below – good times!

Good luck Sumner!
