Victoria Video Edits
Previous shop employee David Kushner is just about to begin his school year at LMU. Before the bags were packed for school he was able to get down to the beach, gather some footage of some of the Vic riders and shop employees, and put together a few edits. Check those edits out below and if you like David’s style, you can see more of his work at MouseInTheHaus. Thanks David!!
Morgan Just in Brazil
Morgan Just recently returned from a trip to Brazil. After hearing him talk about the people, the scenery, and the surf, it is a wonder that he returned. We are glad he did and with some video footage to boot. Check this out …………..
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.
Green Eggs & AM
The Green Eggs & AM contest series started this last weekend up in Newport Beach. Put on each year by Paulo Preitto, the Green Eggs & AM is a great contest series for amateur skimboarders to get ready for the contest season. Full results of the contest will be available soon but Victoria’s Matthieu Thibaud took some pictures and did get results of the Advanced division. A shout out to Johnny Salta for taking 1st place in the Advance division beating out Zane Waysz, Kenneth Suzuki, and Jeremiah Sheldon and then to Nolan Rodgers for taking 2nd place in the Beginner division.
The next event will be West Street on March 31, 2012.
Wedge footage
