Johnny Salta goes Pro!

Victoria Skimboards is pleased to announce that once esteemed amateur rider, Johnny Salta, has now joined the professional skimboarding ranks. His first professional contest was the Cabo Clasico held at Solmar Beach in Cabo San Lucas over the weekend of May this last May 19th and 20th.

Johnny has been skimboarding with a majority of the top professionals of the sport in his hometown of Laguna Beach and felt the time was right to make the change. “The pros push each other so much and I am ready to be a part of it” stated Johnny.

We look for good things to come from Johnny in the near future and are excited to have him as a professional athlete. Congratulations Johnny and best of luck as everyone will be gunning for you!

Green Eggs & AM – Aliso

Round two of the Green Eggs & AM event series took place at Aliso Beach over the weekend of March 31, 2012 and April 1, 2012 (yes, April Fools Day) and the surf was UP to say the least. A large swell kicked through over the weekend along with some ominous weather but the competitors still showed up with their game face on.

We want to give a special shout out to Nolan Rodgers on his first place win in the beginners division. He was charging waves over his head and pulling them off. Congratulations to Nolan and to all of the other Victoria riders that competed in the event.

Look to the Green Eggs & AM website or Facebook for results and updates. The final event looks to be at West Street on April 29, 2012.
