Skimboarding in Canada includes both the flatland skimboarding and wave s kimboarding scenes. The flatland skimboarding scene is a much more predominant scene in Canada, which includes rail riding and lots of ollie tricks. Skimboarders in British Columbia will hit up beaches such as Spanish Banks, Boundary Bay, Arbutus Cove, Saratoga Beach and Goose Spit. These are only a small amount of beaches that actually exist in British Columbia that are available for skimboarding (a larger list exists HERE). British Columbians have hosted a great number of  skimboarding events, and even have had sponsors including the University of Victoria's Engineering Student's Society... Not to brag, but SkimBC.com arranged this sponsor! There are normally a dozen skimboarding competitions throughout the summers in BC. Zed Skimboards, 77 Skimboards, Kayotics Skimboards, Outbreak Skimboards, Sitka Surfboards, HtO and Switch Board Shop are a few companies that host or sponsor competitions throughout the prime skimboarding season. Skimboarders in British Columbia reside primarily in Vancouver, Tsawassen, White Rock, Victoria and central Vancouver Island. The skimboarding scene in British Columbia is always growing, and riders are always wanted! |
