New YouTube vieos
Victoria Skimboards was busy at work the last two weeks with preparations for the Victoria Skimboards World Championship of Skimboarding, day to day sales, and some video creation. Check out the
Victoria YouTube site for the latest Grommet video, Travel Bag video, and our retail store video. We even put up a recap of Day 1 of the Victoria WCS for you to review. Let us know what you think and enjoy!
WCS results update
In efforts to get to the results at the beach as quickly as possible, the staff at Victoria Skimboards made a computation error with the Professional Men’s results. After double and triple checking the scores, it seems that 6th and 7th place were mixed up. This means that Bill Bryan received a 6th place finish and Paulo Prietto a 7th place finish.
Victoria Skimboards apologizes for any confusion this may have caused and has made efforts to ensure that this does not happen again. Thank you for your understanding.
