Great chance for free...

"So what is this all about you might well ask. Essentially, it's a call for people who would like to learn some board building skills to submit their idea for a board, sketches, written, whatever... The best entry, chosen by Classic Malibu, get to work with Peter White to refine the design, and produce the board, being introduced to all the skills along the way, and obviously be the proud owner of their own new board...

What a great opportunity to learn your skills from one of the great masters of the industry. Peter has helped many young guys into the industry that I know.

Noosa is not a bad place to hone your skills and test your board. So come on get off your arse , it is being handed to you on a plate.

For information, terms and conditions and to submit your design , email the guys at Smorgasboarder: shapersappentice@smorgasboarder.com.au

A big thanks to the guys at Smorgasboarder Magazine and Peter White of Classic Malibu for this great offer and a once in a lifetime experience."

OH DAWN from Copenhagen

O.D. from OHDAWN on Vimeo.
Based in Copenhagen, we thrive in the diversity between our concrete surroundings and the rawness and imperfection of the Scandinavian seascape.

With a peerless approach, we bring fine threads and hand cut sleds that aim to challenge the dull presumptions of surf and design.

OH DAWN arises from the surf collective, Shredsled Society. We believe in classics, chaos, clean lines and lots of high quality sweat.
A small band of craftsmen and creatives, we are hell bent on making quality goods that reflect this blend of opposites.

OH DAWN is a lifestyle brand founded in 2011.

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!"
