Brad Tunis is a dedicated member of the Great Lakes surfing community, clearly he doesn’t let a frozen beard get in the way of scoring this recent swell on his 7’2″ Bing Mini Simmons.

KILLER SERIES
The SLIVER features knifed low rail through out, lower overall rocker, and wider dimension more suited for key length 9'5- 9'7.
KILLER VS SLIVER:
New por 2012 modeled after Kookkiller, a gH standard for almost seven years now, seeming to reach its performance potential through slight dimension mods and rocker adjustments.
Its a little brother to gH modern classic SLIVER. Featuring similar templates and water flow theory, differing in rail line and overall dimensions. Its a gateway from our longboard series to the mid length rage...
ELEMENTS INCLUDE: small square tail, high to low edged rail line, and key length of 9'0 - 9'2.
Killer is perfect for beach breaks, or flatter faced take offs too sloped out for pintails like JUNGLE SERIES. All around California longboard with performance elements, and only 9' In length means you will never feel like you should have had a shortboard or longboard instead. For those crowded days calling swell but lacking power, when its a struggle for mid lengths, and opened up enough you dont want to limit yourself with a full sized longboard. Furthermore, the SLIVER's foil is tricky and built for trim speed. Its floatation is given by its length and dims. Where the Killer features fuller thickness forward due to its shorter narrower dimensions. Currently we are out of Killer stock, but taking orders, and prototypes like featured above, should wash up under are used selection once I have time too build myself a replacement. Custom order KILLER clear with 3/4 cedar stringer , volan deck, sanded gloss, fin box. Factory direct price =$750. Check back for KILLER in action and used stock+ used selection.

UK’s Elliot Dudley joins the Bing Team
"Over the holidays, Elliot Dudley and his family arrived in California for their holiday and came by our house to pick-up some boards that he had ordered. Little did he know, he was walking straight into the middle of our Bing Surfboards company holiday party and within minutes, jet-lagged and bleary-eyed, he had been introduced to Mike Hynson,Jim Phillips, Matt Calvani, Jon Wegener, and Chris Del Moro. What struck me as particularly fascinating during our first meeting with Elliot was his reaction to meeting these notable and legendary surfers and shapers. Not only did it mean that he had a tremendous respect for the history of surfing and surfboard-building, but for a guy with 2 European Longboard titles and a handful of British Championship titles as well, I was surprised to see someone of note himself so humble in the presence of this group.
Over the course of the next week, we were able to spend some time with Elliot and learn about his goals of becoming a grade school teacher, his homeland in Wales, his prolific career as a competitive surfer, his community service with the organization,Surfers Against Sewage, as well as his transition away from competition and back to his roots and love of single-fin longboards and alternative shortboards. It became apparent that this humble, mild-mannered and handsome young man would be an ideal ambassador for Bing Surfboards and we are both eager and excited to see what this next chapter in his surfing career holds. Welcome to the family Elliot!"

Cool Bikes and Finless Boards by Deus Bali
"The rainy season is well and truly upon us here on the islands of the Gods…but all that really means is the garden is getting greener and we spending more time indoors working on stuff, like this beauty. As the clouds unleashed their contents over shorelines and paddy-fields, the boys have been tucked away inside the bengkel, twisting wrenches and putting the finishing touches on this the latest iron ride to roll out of their carved wood doors."
"Chris Garrett is well known for his pretty left field approach to shaping boards. Subtle or some times not so subtle tweaks and twerks that add to performance and or handling are his M-O…however this time things went a little differently."
