Spain’s Salinas Longboard Club Soaks In Some California Surf Culture
A recent issue of “3sesenta”, a Spanish surf publication, featured the Salinas Longboard Club’s visit to California this past September. The trip included a stop at the Bing & Jacobs Surfboard factory where members caught up with Matt & Margaret Calvani and then a weekend surfing the famous First Point at the Malibu Surfing Association Classic surf contest where the Spanish club made their debut, riding boards none other than Bing Surfboards!

CALIFORNIA GOLD
LADY CRUZ
It was the allure of the California Coast in summer that reunited us. The days that stretched on well into the evening, a warmed Pacific Ocean where spring suits felt like enough and shimmering blue-green waves that tumbled onto shore so consistently they felt almost mechanical. Such lucid memories were enough for the three of us, who lived across the country, to reunite in San Diego and prepare for seven days of surfing twice a day up the coast with a couple of Bing Surfboards in tow. The board models we brought were the 9’6” Levitator, the 9’4” Continental and the 9’2” Pocket Knife.
WHAT A TRIP
At just 22 years old and hailing from a place not known for its surf quality, new Bing ambassador Trip Chandler has put together quite an impressive visual resume riding longboards. In between finishing up college courses you can either find this kid holding a single fin log or a fishing pole, but never without a big grin on his face.
