Bing Surfboards

I felt on certain waves I was getting caught behind on sections especially on mushy, crumbly waves. So in conceptualizing the Cali Square, the idea was to go back to design basics. With an 18 1/2" nose and 17" tail, I achieved a more parallel outline. Then I offset the wide tail with a thinner rail with more belly in the tail to keep it loose in turns. At first I went very flat with the rocker but found I wasn’t getting enough lift in the pocket when noseridering, so instead, I kept adding tail rocker while keeping the nose rocker flat until I achieved a good balance between speed and lift. I maintained a medium depth blended concave. The only trade-off with the design is that because the board does run faster than my other models, it forces you to burn speed and stall properly to get good long noserides. I feel it's an exciting and challenging board that ultimately results in longer overall rides. - Matt Calvani, shaper/designer

Matt first designed the board as a quad, yet discovered he could get great noserides too. As he got more feedback from team riders and customers, he honed in on the board's true versatility. Most people prefer to ride the board from the tail and never walk the board but were sold on the wider nose for paddling ability. This model is the ultimate quiver killer. As for design, the board has a shallow nose concave going into a slight roll into a heavy double concave in the tail. To add to the board's versatility, we recommend the board with a 4+1 fin box configuration so that it can be ridden as a quad, a 2+1 or a single fin. The quad setup works amazing for quick direction changes and surfing in the pocket. The 2+1 setup gives you drive and control and you can lean hard into each turn. As a single fin you can take classic high lines with the wide point being forward and still execute smooth cut backs and noserides. The most popular and versatile size range is 7'4-7'10" for all around noseriding and turning ability.

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 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.

The Dharma blends modern surfing with the subtleties of riding a retro fish. This board was designed to catch a lot of waves, supplying endless amounts of fun to wave riders alike. Matt and I set out to design a board that was not only fast down the line but also turned with laser sharp precision and could pivot in the pocket. The flat nose rocker gives you optimum glide and paddle. The beveled rail and concave deck concept lessens the volume for increased sensitivity in rail-to-rail turns. The butt tail provides multiple pivot points for quick direction changes. The outcome of this quad-finned, butt-tail wave whip is hands-down the most fun fish I’ve surfed. This design works great back-side and front and is a perfect blend of front-foot speed and back-footed shredding. Suitable for clean lines, barrel riding, full rail turns and a perfect platform to take your aerial antics to the next level. Enjoy the ride and share the stoke. –Chris Del Moro.

Adopting the same outline as the Mini Simmons, deck and bottom contours and thinned out arc tail design, the Puck is configured with a quad fin setup for added sensitivity and maneuverability, quick directional change capability and more control in powerful hollower surf. The board has a little nose rocker that runs straight through with no concave in the bottom and an S deck that pushes up the rocker so that you can maintain volume but increase paddle ability. These features combined with the rolled entry with vee going out the tail allow the Puck to thrive in mushy waves, coasting through slow sections and racing through fast sections. Ideal for longboarders looking to transition to a shorter board or shortboarders looking for the ultimate small-wave wizard, the Puck is tons of fun for everyone!

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 )
