Matt Calvani Takes 3rd in Art of Shaping
Congratulations to Matt Calvani who took 3rd place in the Art of Shaping Los Angeles Edition surfboard auction presented by Billabong at the Del Mar Sacred Craft this past weekend. His submission to the auction, a 12-foot gun surfboard, earned the 3rd highest bid, following first place submission by Jeff Ho and second place submission by Lance Carson and beat out notable submissions by shapers such as Greg Noll, Hap Jacobs, Dewey Weber, Tyler Hatzikian, & Dennis Jarvis. Not bad for the youngest shaper in the top 3! The prize for third place was a full-page ad in Surfer Magazine.

“UN VRAI ARTISTE”
Alex Patrick is an artist in every sense of the word. He is well versed in still photography and cinematography, has a true love for cinema, and will travel to the ends of the earth to find the perfect shot. But, the thing we appreciate most about him is that he’s not in a hurry. Unlike most new-age digital content creators, he believes in the process and could care less about any deadline or being a part of any new social media trend. His imagery has a subtle hint of romance that stems from his unwavering love for light in all forms. Alex has been a part of the Bing family for quite a few years, so we decided to sit down with him and see what he’s been up to…
POSTCARDS FROM HEAVEN
With the impending doom of a long, cold California winter upon us a few of the Bing crew decided to head south for a few days. As soon as we crossed into Tijuana through the CBX we could immediately feel the beginnings of a very special few days ahead. As any surfer knows, the beauty of Mexico lies not only in the perfect waves and golden beaches, but also within the generosity and welcoming smiles of all who inhabit this amazing country.
