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 team rider Nolan Rodgers turned ten (10) years old on Friday, May 11, 2012. To celebrate, Nolan and his family gathered a few of his friends and had a skim party at Thalia. Joining in on the fun were two of Victoria’s professional riders, Matthieu Thibaud and Teddy Vlasis. Boy oh boy, young kids sure know how to have fun!!
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).
