Check those edits out below and if you like David’s style, you can see more of his work at MouseInTheHaus. Thanks David!!

From Portugal to the Outter Banks
The end of July saw two trips for Vic team riders; Portugal and the Outter Banks in North Carolina. Attending Portugal was Morgan Just, Teddy Vlasis, and Johnny Salta which from the sounds of it had a fantastic time. Great weather, great waves, great friends, great food …… we think you get the picture. The boys were taken care of by the locals and enjoyed two different skim contests while in country. The top results of the UST contest in Portugal were:
1) Sam Stinnett
2) Hugo Santos
3) Blair Conklin
4) Eduardo Joaquim
While Johnny returned home after Portugal, Morgan and Teddy flew directly to Philadelphia, hopped in the car for about for 7-8 hours and made there way to Kill Devil Hills, NC. Catching some quick rest, the guys got themselves ready for the Outter Banks Skim Contest run by Skim City. Battle after battle ensued and the final results of the OBX contest were:
1) Perry Pruit
2) Sam Stinnet
3) Dave Scott
4) Jason Wilson
5) Brad Domke
6) Tim Fulton
Teddy and Morgan remain 3rd and 4th on the UST respectively and had a fantastic time on their journey across the continent and across continents. Congratulations boys on representing Vic so well!

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!

Victoria Skimboards is pleased to introduce some new limited edition artwork for your skimboard. These are “one-offs” which means that once we sell the first one, you will not be able to get another at this time. That does not mean we will never have it anymore but for now we only have one of each art design.
Everything is up and ready in the online store for you to place your order so please check it out at: Victoria Skimboards Online Store Limited Edition Artwork.

Victoria sponsors the HASL Dangerous Shorebreak contest in HI
Victoria Skimboards is proud to be a part of the Hawaiian Amateur Skimboard League (HASL) and kick the season off with the “Dangerour Shorebreak” contest on March 17, 2012 at Sandy Beach, Oahu.
A direct quote from the contest organizers, “early on in the week conditions looked optimum for a contest but come contest day Sandy Beach through in a challenge. There was a little swell in the water with gusting winds but the competitors pushed through and still had a good time.”
Congratulations to all competitors and to Eric and his crew behind the scenes at HASL! Once again, Victoria Skimboards was stoked to be a part of such a great series of events. Check out the video of the event…….

The boys (Brandon Rothe, Morgan Just, and Jonathan Howell) are rocking in the sun down in Melaque Mexico before the X3M contest this weekend. Great weather, some surf expected by Thursday, fantastically authentic food, and great company (Diego, Jorge, Tule, Cholpa, etc.) all make for the start of a solid trip. Check out the first little clip-it of their trip.
Mexico’s Tule – video
Mexico is home to some of the best surf around the world along with some pretty great weather. From the town of Melaque comes Cesar Cortez, or Tule as most know him.
