Hobie Sports hosts history....

Coming soon to a window near you....

Hobie Sports in downtown Laguna has asked Victoria to create a mini skimboard museum, much like the one at our own canyon store. Included will be many classic photos and a mini shrine to Chris Henderson, "The Master" as my generation of skimmers reverently calls him along with a second shrine for Bill Bryan who is hands down the best skimboarder in history. No one will ever match his record of 14 wins in the annual Victoria Contest. We will have a new set of historic boards on display with a little biography on each one and as a counterpoint, Hobie will stock the complete line of Victoria Skimboards product (Pro Models to Woodies). Way back in 1976 when Peter Prietto and I started making boards, Hobie Sports in Dana Point was our first account and it was so encouraging that we have never stopped being grateful. Completion of the installation of the display is set for the end of May, however some parts may be on site in the near future.
