Artist Spotlight: Brian Bent
Brian is unique in everything he does; his surfing style, the boards he chooses to ride, the cars he drives, the clothes he wears, and his art is no exception. Blessed with an uncanny talent for creating art pieces that transfer the magical feeling of the glide and the essence of surfing to the canvas, the motion and flow in Brian's art is special and uniquely his own.
Bing + Surfing Wave Pools
With new wave pool parks opening up around the world, it's possible to get waves in places you wouldn't expect to. A few of our Bing family members have had the chance to get some Bing Surfboards under their feet at land locked wave parks you may be eager to surf. The parks actually produce waves that rival the quality of your local home break. The feedback from each family member can help you know what Bing to ride at a wave park near you.
Interview with Mario Ordoñez-Calderón of 'Un Mar De Colores'
What would you do if you were gifted an almost pristine 1970s Bing single fin? Would you keep it for yourself? Most probably would. Encinitas local Mario Ordoñez-Calderón saw it as an opportunity to give back to his community. Mario approached Bing Surfboards about raffling off the gorgeous 7’4” single fin to raise money for his local non-profit, Un Mar De Colores, and we gladly accepted. We’ll be holding 14 day raffle for this original Bing surfboard with a live drawing for the winner on July 17th. All proceeds will go to Un Mar De Colores.
