Testing the Flowrider

Victoria Skimboards team rider and employee Matthieu Thibaud got in the car with General Manager Trigg Garner yesterday and headed on down to the Wavehouse in San Diego. The goal of the trip was market/production research but "when in Rome" as the saying goes.......

Matthieu Thibaud talking to Brandon of the Wavehouse about the design of the boards for the Flowrider.

Matthieu on his first run of the day. When you are starting on the Flowrider, you use the rope to get your bearings. Matthieu ditched the rope after his second run and started hammering out shuv-its.

Trigg getting a little beginning help from Wavehouse employee Brandon.

Of course, when your skill level improves on the Flowrider you move up to the Barrelrider. Victoria Skimboards team rider Bill Bryan featured above getting "slotted" in the barrel.

Special thanks to Robert and the staff at the Wavehouse for being so accomidating and letting us play around a little bit. For more information on the Wavehouse, click here.
