This week in sunny San Diego we were greeted with a nice mix of SW and NW swells giving us some fun waves up and down our coast. Reports were coming in of a lot of places being really fun and a lot bigger than everyone had anticipated. North County San Diego loves the crossed up swells and Encinitas was benefiting from this new ocean energy. On Monday the winds calmed down, the sun came out and the guys took some time off from the factory to paddle into some really fun waves.

Adam Cap manages the factory floor at Bing Surfboards and also has a really nice flowing style. He’s seen riding a 7’2″ Pintail Mini with a single fin setup. Mick Rodgers is a Bing Team rider with his own surfboard model The Mr. Rodgers but he decided to mix it up with a 8’0″ Collector in a single fin setup for this session. James Parry also rides for Bing and he seemed to spend most of his time up on the tip of his California Square Tail. The UK transplant always makes it look so easy logging time on the last two inches of his surfboard.

We hope you were able to get out there in between the clouds and the wind. There’s been some great moments and it still looks like there’s some surf.

Travel is all about getting somewhere else. The journey, comically titled “the destination,” by some real masochists, feels more to me like a practical joke then a zen-buddha lesson in being present; a blur of drinking $9 Chardonnay while trying to stream Lego Batman across the isle and entertain a baby with a series of 10 second activities (tray table, crackers, seatbelt, headphones!).

Name, hometown, and surfboard brand.

Josh Peterson, hometown Virginia Beach (born) Haleiwa (currently living), and my brand is Peterson Surfcraft. 

When and where did you start surfing? Describe your first surfboard.

I started surfing when I was about 15 in Virginia Beach, and my first board was an old funboard from WRV that was about 7’6” and had glass on thrusters and an insane airbrush.

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.
