– 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!

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 Opens This Weekend!
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.
