La libertad no es sino una oportunidad para ser mejor

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better
Albert Camus

SIEMPRE LIBRES.
El surf es libertad, sin más.
Subirse a la tabla es desaparecer, desconectar de las prisas y los dolores de cabeza del mundo.
El surf es esa fuente inagotable de energía que nos llena de ilusión por sentir, por compartir.
Somo libres cuando nos deslizamos sobre las aguas, cuando compartirmos una ola, o la perdemos, o la clavamos, nos convertimos en el momento y eso genera felicidad.
Compartir esa libertad, ese poder con aquellos que nos rodean, otorga al simple acto de surfear un mayor sentido.
Eso es lo que significa ser libres, crecer, compartir, reir, concentrarse, respirar, ser.
El surf es libertad, y así será siempre.

SIEMPRE LIBRES (ALWAYS FREE) Surfing is freedom. Getting on your surfboard means disappearing, disconnecting from the stress and the pains of the world.
Surfing is that neverending source of energy that fills us with the joy to feel, to share.
We are free when gliding on the water, whether we share a wave, we loose a wave, we nail a wave, we become the moment, and that, generates joy.
Sharing that freedom, that power with those around us, makes the simple act of waveriding more meaningful.
That is what it means to be free, to grow, to share, to laugh, to focus, to breathe, to be.
Surfing is freedom, and it will always be.

I was lucky enough to score this beautiful Andrini Vaquero a few months back. This board was made for Kirk Putnam to emulate boards that were ridden in a certain segment of ''Innermost limits of pure fun". Its a blast to ride such a long hull. It taught me a lot about trim and positioning. Thank you Marc for telling me the history and theory behind this particular board. Great design. camera-Justin Bowers music-Beachwood sparks

After our first trip last year to the TRIM house i new i was going to be spending a lot of time there. When we left i started collecting boards that were suited for the wave at saladita. Not having any left points really in californa i never had a need for a Liddle so i was excited to get one. I rode it a ton at saladita and learned the rewards and challenges of surfing hulls. Good times......... camera-Justin Bowers Music-Mt.Egypt

Neal Purchase Jr. | Local Legendz

Neal Purchase Jr. - Local Legendz from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
Going against the grain doesn't always pan out for everyone. But for Neal Purchase Jr., he has found a way to maintain a free lifestyle while still having his hands in a number of creative ventures.

In this episode of Local Legendz in collaboration with Leatherman, Neal reflects back watching his father shape growing up and to the 1977 Stubbies where his inspiration from Michael Peterson fueled his desire to create boards that expand a surfer's approach, allowing that rider to ride different parts of the wave.

Is there someone of ‘legend’ status in your hood? We’d love to know! Submit their photo and a description to http://local-legendz.tumblr.com/submit or #local_legendz on Instagram and Twitter.

ABOUT LOCAL LEGENDZ:
Local Legendz is an exploration between Korduroy and Leatherman Sport into communities around the world through the guidance of deeply connected individuals who are quietly changing the world from their backyards through hard-work, innovation, craftsmanship and creativity. Through their commitment to this community, this person has gained breadth of wisdom and knowledge which they use in guiding us to a better understanding of place and self, much like the legend on a map.

The Boardroom Icons of Foam, Del Mar 2014 | Matt Calvani

The Boardroom Icons of Foam, Del Mar 2014 - Matt Calvani from Bing Surfboards on Vimeo.
The Boardroom Icons of Foam competition was held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds the weekend of May 17th & 18th of 2014. Bing Surfboards own Matt Calvani was the defending champ from 2013 and was one of six shapers invited to this particular competition.

The board they'd have to shape was Ben Aipa's "Sting" surfboard. An iconic board made famous by riders such as Buttons Kaluhiokalani. Ben Aipa dedicated the competition in memory of Buttons who unfortunately passed away Nov. 2, 2013.

The competition was tight between Matt Calvani and Roger Hinds. Roger Hinds eventually got the nod by Ben Aipa after a long deliberation over the two boards. Big congratulations to Roger and all the competitors. Thank you Boardroom for putting on a great weekend centered around the surfboard builders who create the crafts we love to ride.

Josh made a 11' eagle for my recent trip to Mexico. I had never rode one before but had heard nothing but good things about this design. I ended up loving the board and rode it every day of our trip. I have never had a board teach me so much about my surfing. I will always have one in my quiver. Thanks Josh, -cj
