BING BONZER 1973-74 FOR SALE
David Pecchi (one of the stars of the film) has donated his 1973-74 Bing Bonzer and is now for sale for $1,500 Euros. All the proceeds will go to fund the completion of this project. Please email Luca Merli at luca@block10.it if you’re interested in purchasing the surfboard.
This has been an ongoing passion project for Luca and his partners to create and fund this film. They are now in the home stretch of coloring, processing and editing which is always exciting. As with any independent film funding is an issue and your support will go a long way in helping them complete this surfing documentary. The film also features one of our Bing team riders, Alessandro Ponzanelli. Please visit their Indiegogo page and pledge your support for the film.

“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.
