'BING SESSIONS' EPISODE 1

The BING Pigformer subtly mixes maximum trim time and maneuverability. This makes the small days feel like a stroll around town on your favorite beach cruiser. But don't be fooled, get the Pigformer in any conditions, from 1ft to overhead, you will be flying down the line! I rode an 8'0" Bing Pigformer 2+1 with a 7.5" Bing Pivot Flex fin.

On the other hand, the BING Stubbie is a board that can engage on rail like a hot knife through butter. Whether you want to hit the whitewash on an end section or throw down a grab rail carve, this board does it all. I rode a 7'6" BING Stubbie. I used a 7.5" Bing Pivot Flex Fin.

These two boards are recent additions to the Bing lineup and they attest to Matt's creative gift in innovative board design. This was also the first session Ryan and I filmed, big thanks to Ryan for working hard on filming and editing this project. Also thanks to Paul Nett for helping us further create the "Bing Series Vision".

Hope you all enjoy it. - Will Allen

Travel is all about getting somewhere else. The journey, comically titled “the destination,” by some real masochists, feels more to me like a practical joke then a zen-buddha lesson in being present; a blur of drinking $9 Chardonnay while trying to stream Lego Batman across the isle and entertain a baby with a series of 10 second activities (tray table, crackers, seatbelt, headphones!).

At the beginning, it was just an idea, but at the same time, a challenge I had set for myself some time ago. Honestly, I saw it as complicated since it was my first time traveling alone to Europe, and I was curious and nervous because I was literally going to another country. The only thing that reassured me was being able to speak Spanish over there. But, of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of the entire BAPU beachware team who encouraged me and gave me the motivation not to doubt myself and make this a fulfilled goal, we organized various activities while presenting the short film "El Gordo" to raise funds for this trip.
