The surfing community suffered a great loss this February when surfer and renowned photographer, Leroy Grannis, passed away at age 93. A Hermosa Beach local, Grannis was inducted into both the Surfing Walk of Fame and the International Surfing Hall of Fame and went on to co-found International Surfing, now known as Surfing Magazine. This past weekend we traveled back to our roots in Hermosa Beach to celebrate his life, legacy and contribution to surfing.

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.
