Bright and early this morning (5:00am on June 28, 2012), some of the Victoria Skimboards crew met up with KTLA’s Allie MacKay to discuss the Victoria Skimboards World Championship of Skimboarding. Check out the clips of Morgan Just with Allie as they walk through the beach, the contest, and skimboarding in general.
The Victoria Skimboards World Championship of Skimboarding (WCS) has revolutionized the way we think about skimboard contests. From the Professional Women’s division to the Live Web Broadcast, the WCS is driving the sport into the future and pushing each competitor every year.
July 7-8, 2012 the professionals and amateurs alike take to the water at Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach for some in your face action. Be sure not to miss a moment of it at http://www.wcs.victoriaskimboards.com.
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!
The Green Eggs & Am contest series concluded this last weekend (April 29, 2012) at West St. in Laguna Beach. Johnny Salta took second place in his division but was a winner on courage alone. Johnny had to get stitches in his head during the contest and decided that he wanted to “go for the gold” and continue to compete. With stitches and Speedo swim cap in place, Johnny jumped back in the water and gave Ken Suzuki all that he could handle. Tied at the end of the heat, the contest organizers had to go back on the judge’ scoring sheets and count back a few waves in order to break the tie. Ken squeaked out a win over Johnny but again, the warrior came up strong and we give him props. There are not many people that would continue to compete with stitches.
Congratulations to all Victoria Skimboards riders that participated in the series and to Johnny for his finish at West St. and Nolan Rodgers for his “Trifecta” performance (best overall through the contest series with a 2nd at Balboa, 1st at Aliso and 3rd at West).
