– Bing is proud to present their newest team rider Mick Rodgers. A San Diego transplant from Rancho Palos Verdes, California, Mick was discovered surfing the break “Barneys” by Bing Surfboard’s official Ambassador of Fun/Team Manager, Robyn McGinnis. Mick has been tearing up the college scene, placing 2nd and 6th in the first two contests of the season and doing it all on his 9’8 elevator ( which is not an easy task when surfing stormy beach breaks surrounded by high pro competitors and short board judges). Above is a quick video of his surfing prowess and be sure to watch for him surfing around Cardiff in his infamous charlie brown wetsuit. Good to have you on the team Mick!

An Alaskan Adventure with Anna
Bing rider Anna Gudauskas isn't one to sit still for too long. Travelling to remote waves in cold climates seems to be an addiction of sorts. Although the temps are below freezing, seeing waves peel off with no one around is enough to warm up her big smile. Check out the photos by Sarah Lee.
Rest in Peace: Hap Jacobs
The loss of legendary shaper Hap Jacobs has been another blow to the Bing Surfboards family. His early friendship with Bing Copeland, and his mentorship of Matt and Margaret Calvani helped pave the way for the resurgence of the Bing brand over the last 20 years. Matt + Margaret Calvani and Bing Copeland share their thoughts of his passing.
