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…….

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.
