Think Bing Movie Night at Bing Surf Shop
On Saturday, August 31st, we hosted a surf movie night featuring our 60th Anniversary documentary film 'THINK BING' directed by Bryce Lowe White. Malcolm Campbell spoke about his relationship with Bing Copeland dating back to the early 70s when he and his brother Duncan were just beginning to make their visions become reality. We set the screen up in the Coffee Coffee courtyard, which is a great spot for surf movies and stoked the crowd out with an hour of good times. Thanks for everyone that showed up! Stay tuned for another surf movie night soon.
