VICTORIA SKIMBOARDS LET THE BOARD CHOOSE YOU

WOODY SLIDER
The WOODY has been our bread and butter since the very beginning. If you’re looking to learn the fundamentals of the run, drop, slide, this is the board for you. Each board is constructed from a Russian birch core, and individually hand painted to make each board one of a kind. The WOODY will have you sliding endlessly on any beache, grass lawn, or behind a boat. The shape is also quite functional for wave bashing and wave riding, though it is a bit harder with the weight of the board. This is the perfect board for trying out the sport. You don’t spend a lot, but you get a board that will last generations and is beautiful enough to mount on your office wall.
Durable, fast, and easy to ride make it a must have board for any aspiring flatland rider. With Urban Skimboarding on the rise, the SLIDER can take on the longest stretch of beach you can find, as well as rails and obstacles. The SLIDER is designed with a textured fiberglass finish that feels similar to grip tape and will always keep you stuck to your board.

FOAMIE 2.0

The FOAMIE is our entry-level foam core board reinforced with fiberglass and Epoxy resin. The FOAMIE is the most affordable foam core of our line. More surface area than wood with less weight makes foam cores the preferred choice of beginning to intermediate riders. Extra rockered nose is handy for learning
how to navigate the sand to water transitions. Colorful print art. Great low price! This board is designed for the rider that is ready to take their skimming passed the water line and into the shorebreak to ride a wave back in. The ultimate goal as a skimboarder.

Designed to be a bit shorter and wider for our beginner, and intermediate riders. The focus is on reaching more waves. The Glide is recommended for anyone with this goal. If your waves are small and hard to reach . . .we think this shape is the one.

LIFT
Our most refined shape. The new and improved version of our Classic shape. Shaped with slightly more volume in the nose of the board for more distance and a tiny modification to the classic pintail for remarkably improved control. Due to its similar design in the nose and tail, this shape also works great for technical tricks as it performs great riding backwards as well. Lift is favored by Amber Torrealba and Paddy Mack.
The classic sh around since th shape is still pre riders. The Class quicker turning break and we it to a high
shortboard. A po our riders who p of the heaviest classic shape is f Vlasis, Johnny S more.

The Weber shape has been reimagined from our very popular flying fish shape. Johnny Weber wanted to take off some of the meat and have this board be the perfect combination to slide out for miles but also maintain a great amount of control. We consider it our maximum distance fish tail. It is a little more challenging to turn, unless you are John.

Single wing, short and wide, works great in all conditions, especially good for distance. This shape is a guaranteed fun board for all ages. The preferred shape of Tex Haines! Inspired by one of the legendary Kahanamoku family David K. It is a highly functional shape time tested since the 70’s.

ROCKER Rocker, that slight curve from nose to tail is so important. All the best materials won’t matter if the rocker is off. Victoria has had rocker dialed in for years. Our standard rocker is designed for speed and distance. You will feel the difference! But at Vic your options are not limited. If you skim the East coast, you might like less rocker for the flatter sand slope. Big wave, steep beaches, like Cabo for example, might require a bit more rocker to handle the transition from sand to wave. Tail Rocker? We don’t recommend it, it will slow you down dramatically. The slight maneuverability you gain isn’t worth it, unless you are an advanced rider.
RAIL CHANNELS Grooves along the rails on the deck give the rider extra grip while grabbing the rail either going down the line, or for an air trick. Those groves have also shown to slightly increase the stiffness of the board. More riders are choosing this option! Available on request as well!
RAIL SHAPE Boxy rails bounce off water and resists catching, tapered rails are faster, and hold better, but catch more often. We recommend our hybrid rails but tapered or boxy are available on request!

ART FABRIC
The Hoffman name is legendary in surfing, and for many years the surf clothing industry has been ordering fabrics from their other famous namesake, Hoffman Fabrics. Their designs are beautiful, authentic, and ever changing. Our selection is always changing, and always awesome. Fabric art can be incorporated into any custom board.

AMBER TORREALBA
POLY Carbon lift shape designed by Amber Torrealba. The board features rail channels for grip and comfort, a pin tail for more control, and an exaggerated nose rocker for high performance. This shape is 3/4” in the middle for added float and tapered to 5/8 in the nose and tail for maneuverability. 18

JOHNNY WEBER
Johnny worked closely with Victoria’s shaping team to refine the popular flying fish, and make it a more high performance board. This exact board, POLY Carbon with a 5/8” core size Medium is exactly what brought him to the top of multiple podiums and becoming the Champion of The VIC 2021, one of the highest honors you can get as a skimboarder.

PRO
JOHNNY SALTA
Johnny Salta has relied on the classic shape w/ a pin tail since the very beginning of becoming a rider with Victoria. Salta finds that this shape is the most responsive and reliable board in fair to solid conditions. Salta stands in at 5’11 and weighs a mean 145 pounds and his go to size is a Medium. However, if the waves seem a little out of reach he will step up his board size to a Large so he can super plane out to bigger waves.

NEW ART
PRO PADDY MACK
After riding the classic shape for 10 years Paddy transitioned to the lift Shape. He created a shape built for speed, float, and control in any kind of conditions. He is known for his powerful wraps in heavy shorebreak, technical tricks and airs. He created this resin art that has been very popular amongst the Skim community for years.

PRO
TEDDY VLASIS
“The Lion King” Style Master rides 2 sizes larger than most to reach further out waves. This year’s model features a 5/8” core for ultimate control. His board is constructed with E-Glass and Vinylester resin, our simple formula that is guaranteed to work. You don’t need Carbon to have a good board, Teddy proves it! He chose a Classic Hawaiian Hoffman fabric for the bottom art.

NEW ART
PRO TEX HAINES
Adjusted from a classic woody from the 60’s by Tex Haines, this shape is equivalent to surfing’s fish shapes that are currently in a comeback. Shorter length for turnability, wider middle and tail increases the planing surface for distance, and a swallow tail provides control in the turns. It works for me!
