When perusing surf shops for a new board, you'll likely hear of Bing Surfboards. The world-famous brand has built up a reputation for producing sleek, high-performance boards. Here's a breakdown of how they earned that renown.

Their History

Named after founder Bing Copeland, Bing Surfboards were first produced in a modest storefront in Encinitas, CA. The original Bings were hand-shaped back in 1959 and quickly gained popularity throughout the 60s and 70s for their level of craftsmanship. As a result, they became a part of surfing history. Current owner Matt Calvani is well aware of this legacy and has gone the extra mile to ensure today's Bing boards live up to the high standards set by Copeland himself. 

Their Quality

The meticulous workmanship that goes into the production of Bing Surfboards includes aesthetics. Don't let their simple design fool you. While the design is understated, their perfectly blended coloring and subtle pinstripes make these boards elegant and stylish.

In terms of performance, each Bing board has so much to offer. The Silver Spoon is versatile, ready to take on all types of wave conditions. It's also accommodating for all levels of surfers, from beginners to advanced. The Beacon is highly maneuverable, letting you take off early and maintain fluidity. The Continental has been dubbed the “ultimate nose rider” and makes turning a breeze, thanks to the exaggerated tail rocker.
