BING x RAEN Launch Party Recap
Last Friday we hosted the official Bing Surfboards and RAEN Optics Launch party. Whew. What a night it was! MIHO Catering Co. served free AMAZING food to the first lucky 100+ people, while Drinks By Barçon kept the refreshing free margaritas shaking all night long. It was so great to see so many friends gather to eat and enjoy each other. Folks got their hands on the latest Bing boards in stock at the shop and even were able chat with owner and head shaper, Matt Calvani, face to face about what type of board is best for them. We capped off the night with giveaways where friends walked away with DVD’s, Bing Surfboards gear, and even a new pair of RAEN shades. We are so excited about our partnership with RAEN Optics, and look forward to bringing San Diego the best and largest selection of handcrafted RAEN Optics sunglasses available in one place at the Bing Surf Shop.

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.
