BING SURF SHOP: Danny Hess Boards
The Bing Surf Shop in Encinitas is proud to announce that we carry Danny Hess Handplanes and Belly Boards. If you’ve ever wanted to have a reason to get in the water more then you’ll want to get one or both of these items. They can turn any mediocre day into one of the most fun days ever. These boards allow you to look at more of your local surf breaks when you’re checking them, and with the small size you can always have it with you.
Does it look crowded outside but there is a small peeling barrel inside with no one on it? Then these tools will let you take advantage of it and avoid the crowds. It’s amazing how much faster you go with the hand plane or belly board allowing you to get barreled on the tiniest of waves. Smiles guaranteed.
Built by master wood working craftsman Danny Hess from Northern California. You know each one is a work of functional art that will last decades. Call or visit the Bing Surf Shop to get one.

An Interview with Christian Marcher of Progressive Surf Academy
You’d be hard pressed to find someone more stoked on surfing than our friend and local ripper Christian Marcher. Big boards, small boards, soft tops, surf mats, hand planes, you name it and this guy rides them all at a very elite level. The best part about Christian is that he is always the nicest guy in the water and he pushes the boundaries of what you think is possible on a surfboard every time he paddles out.
With over 30 years of surfing experience, Christian has built Progressive Surf Academy into one of the most well-respected surf schools anywhere on the West Coast. He and his team use a very unique approach that dives deep into ocean safety, technique, and ethics in the lineup that you don’t see anywhere else. Christian delivers a premium surf experience for all ages and has been a part of the Bing family for a few years, so we sat down to chat and learn a bit more about the man and his love for the ocean.
THE PHYSICS OF NOSRIDING
AN INTERVIEW WITH PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER AND LIFE ENTHUSIAST, TOM TERRELL
- I started out shooting film photography in high school, and carried around a variety of 35mm cameras for a lot of years while touring as a musician. I despised digital cameras when they arrived, but eventually I met a fellow in Scotland who sold me a water housing and a Canon 60d and I discovered how much fun, and fruitful, swimming and shooting with a digital camera could be. About 2016 I started playing around with short surf films and realized really quick that I loved the medium. At the time I was a musician by trade so being able to combine rhythm, color, imagery and composition was a dream.
