Aloha and Farewell John Severson
“I first met John Severson in 1960 when he came into my surf shop selling his new magazine ‘The Surfer’. In 1961 he designed this ad for me and in the next 15 years we placed 61 ads in his magazine. John became a close personal friend, he was a good guy, a good surfer and a great artist. Rest In Peace John. You will be missed.”

Silver Spoon's Pilgrimage North
While so much of cold water surfing is filled with novelty surfs and hours warming up at coffee shops, this trip was different in that we scored nearly every single day for 10 days straight. That's pretty unheard of on Iceland's windy, rough and rugged coastline.
Artist Spotlight: Brian Bent
Brian is unique in everything he does; his surfing style, the boards he chooses to ride, the cars he drives, the clothes he wears, and his art is no exception. Blessed with an uncanny talent for creating art pieces that transfer the magical feeling of the glide and the essence of surfing to the canvas, the motion and flow in Brian's art is special and uniquely his own.
Bing + Surfing Wave Pools
With new wave pool parks opening up around the world, it's possible to get waves in places you wouldn't expect to. A few of our Bing family members have had the chance to get some Bing Surfboards under their feet at land locked wave parks you may be eager to surf. The parks actually produce waves that rival the quality of your local home break. The feedback from each family member can help you know what Bing to ride at a wave park near you.
