Bing Welcomes New Team Rider, Alessandro Ponzanelli of Italy

November 22, 2011

 

Bing Surfboards welcomes Italian native, Alessandro Ponzanelli, to the Bing team and family!  Alessandro is a mild-mannered, smooth-sliding regular footer from Pietrasanta, Italy and you wouldn’t guess when chatting with this humble and amicable fella that he’s also  a four-time Italian Longboard Champion ranking in the top 10 of the  European Professional Surf Tour (7th in 2005).   And it’s no wonder because Alessandro “Ponza” has travelled to the far reaches of the Earth in search of quality waves and the surfer’s dream.

Travel is all about getting somewhere else.

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.
