Dana Point, CA – Legendary shaper and surfing icon Terry Martin, who recently ended his battle with cancer and passed peacefully on Saturday May 12th, will be honored with a silent and LIVE auction and benefit at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point on May 20th from 5 to 9PM.

When I started traveling years ago I noticed how my surfing improved. Some people ask me what my favorite wave is in the entire world and I always pause and think for a moment. Although it’s hard to choose an all-time favorite, I always think of my time spent in Australia.
Bing Surfboards teamed up with Duck Foot Brewing to create a perfect 'logger' beer. Brewed for the surfer in mind, the Bing Logger is a perfect day drinking beer suited for long days hanging at the beach, or wherever you find yourself under the sun. Enjoy indoors too, just have some surf movies playing in the background, and kick back dreaming of endless summer days riding your 'log'. Available Saturday, March 21st for delivery from Duck Foot Brewing Company in Miramar, California ( limited delivery ). Check out their website for details!
