If you ever stopped at Victoria Skimboards, to pick up a board, drop off a surfboard repair, or just check the shop out, you probably have seen Bob Phillips. One sure thing is, that if you own a Victoria Skimboard, any model, from pretty much any year, Bob has had his hands on it at one point of time, and drove it from the San Clemente factory to the Laguna Beach shop. He has also always put a lot of effort in setting up the VIC contest site early morning every year. He is a very talented mechanical engineer, one of a kind! The list of things he has brought to Victoria Skimboards is very long…
Bob has had some heart issues lately, and this morning we heard that the surgery is not an option anymore, and that he is on the list for a heart transplant. He doesn’t have facebook, or even an email address, but we do! So if you have ever met Bob, or not, you can leave him a message below in the facebook comment box, and we will print and make sure he gets all the notes at the hospital in LA, next time Victoria owner Tex Haines goes up to visit him.
We send all our thoughts and prayers to him,
Thank you very much,
