On Tuesday night we took the boys out to The Bistro on Forest Avenue for some drinks and capped the evening off with a family sized Pizzokie from BJ's Chicago Pizzeria. Good times and we were sad to seem them go. Thank you Takatoshi for a great time and we look forward to seeing you in Japan.<br />

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">You all know how good Brandon Rothe is on the water, but did you also know how good he is with pencil and paper? We are stoked to have Brandon's art on our t-shirts, sweats, and on boards for 2011. He was Missing In Action last year during part of the contest season, partly due to injuries, but also because he went to help his sister in Hawaii, who welcomed a new baby . But he is still here and still ripping and still filling notebooks and napkins with great designs. </div>Victoria Skimboardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15216793172381204008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777731704508059179.post-25189140695899301952010-12-13T13:54:00.000-08:002010-12-13T13:54:00.918-08:00Another YearAnother year has passed for our man in charge of Domestic Sales, Nick Aleandro.

Well, a Skimboard can be used in a variety of places and one of them is behind a boat. In a recent article by Sawyer Davis, a couple of different styles of Wake Surf or Wake Skim boards are "broken down" for the reader. Check out the article by clicking the link below.<br />

Can you guess who? Yes, Bill Bryan took home another UST Championship and actually did it before the Oktoberfest even started.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

With his contest win in Santa Cruz it locked up the UST title for him (third year in a row) but that did not stop Beaker in his quest to outshine everyone. Even with the “odd” weekend weather the waves held up and Beaker took first place in this year’s Oktoberfest putting a stamp on the Championship. Laker three peat, Beaker three peat; what can you say other than that Beaker is quite possibly the best skimboarder that there has been and might ever be? Congratulations Bill!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Jet (the glue behind the tour) worked tirelessly and we want to extend our thanks to him for putting on such a great event. Jet was able to get the support of the government as the event was organized by Penang Skimboarding Association (PSA)/ Persatuan Skimboarding Pulau Pinang (PSPP). Collaborating with the Penang State Government and Penang Sports Council will only help build the future of the sport.<br />

It is so exciting to see the sport grow and Victoria is behind it 100%. Congratulations to all participants in the event and we wish you all the best on the remainder of the tour. </div><br />

Competition is becoming significantly more gnarly. It takes so much more than just wave riding skill, it takes a lot of intelligence, and heart, and coolness under fire.</div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">It begs the question, why would you ride anything else? </div></span>Tex Haineshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490030445217862388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777731704508059179.post-84905927587298546882010-09-22T15:36:00.000-07:002010-09-23T13:03:47.106-07:00Santa Cruz Skimbash 2010The weekend of September 18th - 19th brought waves to the southland and to Santa Cruz.

After a grueling weekend of riding from all parties, the final results from the professionals were:<br />
<br />

</div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Spotlight on Antonio Martin on the right. He does all the jobs, and manages all the guys doing all the jobs. He can run a computer cutting machine, and shape, vacuum bag, glass Woody’s, mix any kind of resins, run a press, and lay a new patio for you or build a wall. And you can add to that another 99 specialty jobs he as mastered. He is the manager for our plant in San Clemente and without him we would all be working elsewhere. He has given one digit of his left index finger, for the company, because of a nasty skill saw accident. Not to mention the ulcers he has suffered from being the center of employee disputes over the years. “Hard working” barely describes this guy. He will bear hug a drum of resin at 500 lbs and move it around the floor like a dancer. He is constantly guilty of trying to too much at once, leading by example, constantly showing the others how to get it done by not wasting any time. Longevity is one key to Victoria Skimboards’ success and our relationship with Antonio is one of the many benefits that our customers probably don’t appreciate. Your valuable dollars are not wasted on a Vic skimboard when you have someone like Antonio working for you. Thank you Antonio, from all of us. </div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Tex </div>Tex Haineshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490030445217862388noreply@blogger.com0
