Freeway closure during the Victoria WCS July 16-17, 2011
For those of you that will be traveling south on the 405 Freeway that live north of Los Angeles or in Los Angeles for the Victoria Skimboards World Championship of Skimboarding, please note the following:
“Public safety and transportation officials warn the public to avoid the 405 Freeway between Interstate 10 and the Highway 101 over the weekend of July 16-17 during its 53-hour closure. A 10-mile stretch of the freeway will be closed to demolish half of the Mulholland Bridge in the Sepulveda Pass in order to build a new, wider bridge and a car pool lane on the freeway.”
If this could affect your ability to get to the contest and be at your heat on time, please make preparations as we cannot hold heats open on account of highway work. Thank you for the understanding.

Matthieu Thibaud Pro Model video – original edit
The Matthieu Thibaud pro model skimboard is off to a successful start in 2011. Helping support his board, Matthieu and the crew at Victoria Skimboards created a video for his board earlier this year. With over 5,500 views in under two months the video is as successful as the board itself.
But did you know that the video you have been watching is the 2nd edit? We felt that the time was right to release the original edit by ToeKnee so sit back and enjoy the beauty that is Matthieu Thibaud and his wonderful pro model skimboard!
Helping to Heal Japan
Victoria Skimboards was approached by Chris Walthall of healjapan.org regarding his efforts to help the victims of Japan and we were more than glad to help. By donating a board we are hoping that it will earn more than its value and that this will go directly to relief efforts in Japan.
