POSTCARDS FROM HEAVEN

December 16, 2022

 

 

 

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.

Upon arrival we met up with Bing Team Mexico consisting of surfer/shaper Miguel Sinclair, young phenom Jonathan Melendres, and Sayulita kingpin Israel Preciado. The next five days were filled with endless laughs, plenty of street tacos and tequila, a massively successful movie night at Tukari bar, and some of the most memorable moments in our lives. Rather than talk about our trip, here’s a quick visual recap of a few days in Nayarit, Mexico with a very talented squad.

The first Bing I bought was from Bing Surf Shop and it was the Continental model. I think it’s the best noserider in the world and works great for any long, lined up wave. I’ve been riding it for about two years. I also just bought a new Izzy Rider Type II it is amazing! It’s so fast and turns on a dime. This will be the board I ride in surf contests.

At the beginning, it was just an idea, but at the same time, a challenge I had set for myself some time ago. Honestly, I saw it as complicated since it was my first time traveling alone to Europe, and I was curious and nervous because I was literally going to another country. The only thing that reassured me was being able to speak Spanish over there. But, of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of the entire BAPU beachware team who encouraged me and gave me the motivation not to doubt myself and make this a fulfilled goal, we organized various activities while presenting the short film "El Gordo" to raise funds for this trip.
