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.

That does not mean we will never have it anymore but for now we only have one of each art design.

Happy Birthday Nolan
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!!
Nolan Rodgers – A Mammoth Expose
Nolan Rodgers is an active young man with a great family supporting his endeavors. From snowboarding to skimboarding to skateboarding to soccer, you name it and it seems that young Nolan is all over it. For instance, here is a video clip put together by Nolan’s father of Nolan at Mammoth Mountain a few weeks ago. Since the snow season this year was not everything we all hoped it would be, this little video might make you nostalgic. Enjoy!
