Mele Saili in Honey Magazine
Bing Surfboard team rider Mele Saili made it into the recent issue of Honey Magazine from Japan. We’re stoked to see Mele get coverage from her recent notable activity. The high quality magazine is pretty sweet if you get a chance to check one out. They featured Mele in two articles for this issue. The first is an article on Mele for her art, surfing and lifestyle here in sunny San Diego. Mele also was invited by Deus to the 9ft. & Single competition in Bali earlier in the year where she placed 3rd behind winner Leah Dawson and Kassia Meador. Images and article feature all the female riders that attended the event. Keep an eye out for Mele as she keeps turning heads in and out of the water. We’re stoked to have her representing Bing Surfboards.

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.
THE PHYSICS OF NOSRIDING
AN INTERVIEW WITH PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER AND LIFE ENTHUSIAST, TOM TERRELL
- I started out shooting film photography in high school, and carried around a variety of 35mm cameras for a lot of years while touring as a musician. I despised digital cameras when they arrived, but eventually I met a fellow in Scotland who sold me a water housing and a Canon 60d and I discovered how much fun, and fruitful, swimming and shooting with a digital camera could be. About 2016 I started playing around with short surf films and realized really quick that I loved the medium. At the time I was a musician by trade so being able to combine rhythm, color, imagery and composition was a dream.
