Our friend Patrick in Germany has a Blog and recently he used his new Victoria board to demonstrate how to put on traction. Check out his Blog at http://www.inlandskimgermany.de/2011/11/waveskim-how-to-do-traction-pad-on-the-board/
Times in Germany are cold but Patrick and his crew brave the harsh weather for some good Flatland, Ocean, and Kite skimboarding. More power to you!

“A Day In The Life Laguna Beach” is a public art project that master sculptor Randy Morgan has envisioned and is to be gifted to the community. It is a bronze bas-relief sculptured mural 40 feet by 12 feet in the classic old world style. Randy’s vision for this piece pays tribute and homage to the rich ocean heritage and waterman culture pf Laguna Beach.
The finished piece will be placed on the Hobie building in downtown Laguna Beach. The art has been approved and accepted by the city of Laguna Beach and will be presented in April 2012. To see Tex Haines involvement in the project, check out the website @ http://adayinthelifelagunabeach.com/
Our friend Joe Ade contacted us about making him some custom boards and we did just that. Take a look at some of the shots of Joe with his board having a blast. He has style for days!
Remember that Victoria Skimboards can make the board that you want! Enjoy the ride!

Recently, ESPN’s show SportsNation ran a quick clip on skimboarding. Part of those clips was our own Teddy Vlasis. We were stoked to see skimboarding hit the national airwaves if even for only a moment.
Check out the clip below.
Yuto Kishida is from Japan and one of the top amateur skimboarders in the country. He has been riding a Victoria board through his sponsor Skim One for many years and Victoria Skimboards is pleased to announce his formal addition to the Victoria Skimboards Team. With his frequent trips to the United States and constant dedication to the sport of skimboarding, he will be a force to be reckoned with very soon. Keep your eyes out for Yuto as he blasts into 2012!
When will you go Pro? A question many Amateur skimboarders hear once and decide they are ready when truly they are not. Trevor Stanaland has been hearing that question for the last few years but decided to bide his time and await just the right opportunity. That opportunity came at the Oktoberfest skim contest held in Newport Beach on October 1st – 2nd, 2011.
“Trevor is a fantastic rider with all the ability and drive to compete on the professional circuit” stated Victoria Skimboards General Manager Trigg Garner. Look for great things from Trevor in the 2012 season and check out his updated team rider page.
