Victoria Skimboards is pleased to welcome amateur rider, Ryan Ward to the team. Ryan has been skimboarding since about age six (6) and is climbing the amateur ranks as we speak. His skill is not surpassed by many and we are happy to have him as part of the team. Keep your eyes peeled at a beach near you for Ryan!

According to team rider Matthieu Thibaud, Morgan Just put together a consistent contest through each round and edged out the competition in the finals of the UST competition held in France this last week to take first place. “It was really hard for him, but he did it. I am really impressed by Morgan and his capacity in contest, and his trips in general” stated Matthieu.
We extend our congratulations to Morgan and Matthieu (and any other rider at the event on a Victoria Skimboard) for representing Victoria Skimboards well a midst all of the Exile and Zap riders that were present. Great work!

Victoria Skimboards team rider, Mark Mills took first place in the senior mens event in Dewey Beach. Mark is down to fighting weight, running into foot deep water for his takeoffs, and riding a specialized full nosed, 1″ thick, flat rocker bomber with extra heavy, titanium reinforced internal flex amplifiers, and a single molecule of Chris Henderson. They didn’t stand a chance!
Congratulations Mark!
The UST will be making a stop in France this year thanks to the hard work of Hérve Ledoux and there is a billboard to prove it. 
Keep all eyes on the event as it has a floating date and location.
Victoria professional team rider Matthieu Thibaud takes nothing for granted and works hard for what he has. Recently he made contact with Sticky Bumps and has worked a deal to be sponsored by them for his wax usage. Read the official press release from Sticky Bumps here.
Recently a video was brought to our attention of a contest on Oahu at Sandys Beach that featured Chris Henderson. For those that do not know, Chris has long been a participant in the sport of skimboarding and is considered by many to be one of the best. Enjoy the video!
Vic team rider Johnny Salta came by the shop last week to pick up his new board. Look for Johnny ripping up the waves at your local beach and ask him what he thinks of his new Victoria Skimboard!
