"He hasn't called me once.... since he got his new Bing"
Classic ad... This Bill Robbins photo resonated with the audience in SURFER magazine July 1965. More than a few teenage boys dreamed of rescuing this surfer girl even as they also related to the allure of the waves.
"Gee, I wish I had a Bing board" Another smart ad in Surfer magazine of Spring 1962. More than a few young surfers probably had the thought. This was Charlie Quesnel's.All their old ads are featured in the 'Bing Surfboards, 50 years of Craftsmanship and Innovations'

GMac and Gregório tow chunky Nazaré
November 8th, 2010
On Wednesday last week, Nazare rumbled under perfect conditions, with waves at around six to seven meters(19 to 22 feet), light wind and sunshine.
“Heavy, very heavy! I’m deeply convinced that these were some of the heaviest waves that I ever had.”, said 43-year-old Garrett McNamara, who teamed up with 3 time Portuguese national champion Jose Gregorio to tackle the big swell at Nazare last week. “I thought they were big, powerful and dangerous. Now I understand what Kelly [Slater] meant when he said that one mistake here could be our last!… We surfed three different peaks and I liked them all. We have three more weeks here, so I want to continue exploring, but I’m certain now that this is the perfect place to do one “Extreme Waterman Challenge”, because these waves are serious”, he concluded.
“Inside they didn’t seem very large, because they were perfect, but after seeing the pictures I can say with no doubt that these were the biggest waves ever surfed at this beach”, said José Gregório.
“The swell wasn’t the biggest, but the day was perfect and, with the phenomenon of expansion that the Nazaré’s Canyon do to the waves, they double in size at the breaking time. It was one of the best sessions I’ve had there, but I was worried at the end, when a big foam make my jet ski turn over. I was very close to the sand but, suddenly, the sea caught me and in seconds took me out again, and then dragged me to the rocks. I tried to float as much as possible, since I had the life jacket, and suddenly again I came back to the sand. It was scary, but fortunately all ended well. The sea rules, there’s no doubt”, he concluded.
This project was organized by Câmara Municipal da Nazaré, Clube de Desportos Alternativos da Nazaré and Nazaré Qualifica E.E.M., with the support of Turismo do Oeste, QREN, +Centro, Turismo de Portugal, Liberty Seguros, Lightning Bolt, GoPro – D’Maker, Filipemotoshow, Isuzu, Lena Automóveis, Peter Grimm, Noll, Instituto Hidrográfico Português, Tonic Gym, Surftotal, Surf Portugal, Antena 3, Surfer Rule and Surfspots-gps.com.

9'8" handmade florida pig!
Chris sent me this via surfapig@live.com: Hey Mike, I'm a RN here in Florida and amateur surfboard shaper. I've been stoked on your website and "Invasion" film so I thought for my next board I'd try my hand at shaping a pig and this is what I came up with. 9'8" long, a little more than 3" thick with a width of 22.5" set around 6" aft of center. I installed a fin box for ease of travel and storage in my apartment. Lemme know what you think. ~Chris

Skate Longboard 60"
Skate Longboard 60"New shape models - Longboard Skateboard 60 ",now with a new decor (marquetry) deck (Cinnamon and Ivory) and bottom with black blade, like the Stinger 35".
It follows the same basic construction technique of the previous models: it's composed by four types of wood, mixed with fiber glass fabric. It is a lightweight shape, 0,6 inchs thick and 4.9" in length.
Its core is created by using veneers in a vertical position, unlike what happens in most skateboards, where the composition is given by the union of horizontal blades.
We create these shapes to enhance the line of classic longboard surf. Our proposal is to use it as a way of improving techniques like cross-step or noseriding.
