Victoria Skimboards is just one in an infinite series of hydroplaning ventures going back in time to the earliest rock skippers. Seriously, any flat thing, if accelerated fast enough, can bounce, or skip, plane or slip across water in a near frictionless manner. Start with flat stones, proceed to wood slabs, apply technology, voila, you have the progression.
To make a long story short, we made a batch, marched down to Hobie Sports in Dana Point and sold them, and were told to expect a reorder soon. We were off! In 1980 we introduced the first foam core skimboards, much like standard surfboard construction. We use wood stringers at first but quickly abandoned them, as they were too ineffective at holding the foam in the correct curve for glassing.
