Bing Surfboards

A single-fin surfboard first designed by Dick Brewer in the late 60s featuring the first hard edge along the tail and a softer more traditional rail forward from the tail, the Pintail Lightweight is an all-around and functional design for medium to head high waves. With a moderately wide nose, slightly turned down rails going into a hard edge, ending in a rounded pintail. This board is glassed lighter (6+6oz deck, 6oz bottom) for increased maneuverability, staying true to its "Lightweight" name.

Average nose: 18.5"
Average Tail: 15.5"

Applying all of the nuances of original Bing surfboards, Matt Calvani designs this surfboard to be an evolution of the noserider. A surfboard inspired by the Bing Original Noserider that combines the template of the Bing Lightweight with a deep blended concave, giving you lift for noseriding while maintaining speed and glide down-the-line. Featuring a 3-stringer [bass wood] cluster square tail design for small to medium surf for any type of wave from points, reefs to beach breaks, the Silver Spoon's step or "spoon" tail provides lift for noseriding and thins out the tail for more maneuverability. This proven best-selling versatile noserider features a pivot fin much like the noserider fin but narrower and more functional for turning. Glassed with 6+6+4oz deck patch on the deck and 8oz on the bottom, the Silver Spoon has the nice weight of a traditional noserider but is moderate enough for surfers of all levels to enjoy. Looking to get your first traditional noserider, this is a good place to start!

A new model inspired by and designed for Bing rider, Mele Saili, the Pocket Knife starts with a Magic Sam inspired outline. The wide point back and rolled/ turned-up tail bottom enables quick but smooth pivot turns and easy noseriding anywhere on the wave. Its narrow nose fits into tight pockets without catching and the blunt end allows the rider to hang parallel tens on the nose. Its thinned out 50/50 rails creates optimal stability and the rounded diamond tail facilitates smooth and graceful turns. This board design suits Mele’s style because she likes to setup the board quickly and get to the nose without hesitation to achieve long noserides, then cut back and setup for the next noseride. This a model for surfers of any level and best suited for waves in the knee to head high range and should be ridden 2” longer for optimal noseriding. - Matt Calvani, head shaper/designer

“The Pocket Knife is a slimmer noserider with nice glide for smooth wave entry. A board built to fit comfortably in the pocket of a wave due to its slender shape. I found it to be versatile in its noseriding and turning capabilities- A good board choice for traveling and adapting to different waves fast or slow.”- Mele Saili, Bing Rider ( San Diego, CA )
