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.”

Tommy Coleman at Noosa
Tommy Coleman recently traveled to Australia to compete in the Noosa Festival of Surfing, and took 1st Place in the Under 15 Boys Division! This video by Andrea Coleman gives a glimpse of what Tommy was up to while in Oz riding his Bing Pocket Knife.
Missing Swell
I make up for it on the weekends. I wake up to their calls for me, like they couldn’t wait another second to be on me or they’d pass out. We pack them in the car and then I pass them off on my mom or Scott so I can sink into the water.
New Bing Surf Shop Is Now Open!
We are really excited to announce that the new Bing Surf Shop will be opening this weekend! The new location is at 974 N. Coast Highway 101, in Leucadia, CA. We are moving into the location of previous iconic surf shops ( Surfy Surfy / Longboard Grotto / Leucadia Surf and Ski ). Being that this is our 60th year building surfboards in California, it only makes sense to do it with a bang. To give you a little history about our shop / factory locations since 1959, we asked Bing Copeland to highlight some key dates that indicate the road to where we are today.
