Victoria Wake

Started in 1976 by Tex Haines and Peter Prietto, Victoria Skimboards is the most authentic and innovative skimboard company in the world today. They have dominated the market for over 30 years which in today’s world of pop up companies and slick marketing is an amazing feat. Starting with the elongated wood board shapes of the late 60’s and 70’s, Victoria Skimboards progressively refined board shapes, introduced rocker, introduced the first foam core boards in 1980, developed the first regular use of the high tech polyvinyl foam, and refined the vacuum bagging techniques used by the vast majority of the industry today.
