Swamis Sesh
Continuing R&D with the Mr Rodgers model. Been getting a little inspiration from some of Gene Cooper’s designs, will see if we can incorporate some aspects into my new model. Swami’s offered up some clean lines of perfection today. Looking forward to the bump in swell for the weekend, should offer up some quality waves.

'BA' Logo Story. The Evolution of Surfboard Graphic Design.

'BING SESSIONS' EPISODE 9
Bing rider Will Allen has a big crush on his 5'8" Bing Spork. Designed by Chris Del Moro and Matt Calvani, the Bing Spork is a modified shortboard design that excels in waves that let it light up. Great for beach break barrels, fast crossed up peaks, and points. Check Will Allen out ripping his recently in Southern California. Filmed and edited by Ryan Cannon.
SURFING + MOTHERHOOD

A sad day in the surfing community, although there is a diamond of an article in the issue that features our lady in charge, Margaret Calvani and Bing rider Lauren Hill.
