had a great day today. tutored in the morning, cleared the "honey do" list in the late morning, caught a MAGNIFICENT "in-between shift" sesh at sliders. so many people were walking up as i was walking down. ...yeah! today was a day that reminds you how important every decision you make is.

worlds best surfers.
this next sequence had to be posted.

a clean one , screaming "pig city!!"
yeah, i was ready to own that shit.

"matt the magician", and the one board quiver.

this is the best surfboard i have ever seen or touched or surfed. period. strangers and non surfers are telling me that my surfing is "beautiful" when riding this board. i have had beach walkers say that to me on two separate occasions. random shortboarders are going out of their way to chat with me about the board, and my surfing on it. i am in shock that a board can function like this. i am generally enthusiastic about new surfboards...and every surfboard has a feeling that is worth being enthusiastic about...but this here bing feral pig...it IS the best functioning surfboard i have ever had under my feet. so stoked to own this board. and to surf it in these waves this morning! it is a great feeling to bring boards to a skilled craftsman and tell him how those boards rode in the conditions i rode them in, and then...have him keep that in mind while we discuss numbers...and then have this board be birthed. i was stoked just looking at it, then when i felt it in my hand, i was shocked...now experiencing the effortless turns, the speed, the stability, the nose rides... this is THE pig.

...feral pig!

looking forward to tomorrow!

maiden voyage on the bing feral pig!!!!!

i slipped out after work this avo and slid a quick 10 (miniature) waves on my bing feral pig. slid is the right word in this case. this board seems frictionless. i am so stoked on how this board feels so free in the water, yet is stable to walk on. it feels as if my other boards have been dragging kelp. i always thought if a board was stable to walk toward the nose on, it wasn't easily maneuvered. well, that doesn't seem to be the case. matt has such a great understanding of fin to tail width ratio. this board feels AMAZING in the water.

sure... it was only a quick session in thigh high pier dumpers...but i felt this thing! to say i am excited about pushing it through all conditions is like saying there is water in the ocean. i want to sleep with this board...in the ocean.
my wife shot these quick little waves on her phone while she was holding our one year old daughter. it was the first time my daughter saw me surf. she didn't really know what she was looking at! after the sesh, we had a nice meal on the pier. that is how its DONE!

the bing feral pig!!!!!!

oh my!!! the shape of the rail... the shape of the bottom... the subtle consistent rocker, balanced with the weight. i have never picked up a board and had it sing to me like this one does. 10' , 3 5/16" thick (i'm 205 lbs), wide point 6" back, 16 1/4" nose, 16 3/4" tail. it has been such and honor and pleasure to bring boards to a talented craftsman and explain my experiences on the previous boards. i am not one to say this particular design element contributes to this functionality. i feel many elements contribute to a boards functionality. some design elements contribute to one function attribute more than any other design element that much is certain...but once you think of how each design element inner acts with each other...entropy! at least in my mind. so to design this board, i brought many of my boards to matt calvani at BING SURFBOARDS and told each boards story (how it functioned in what conditions). he felt the boards. we talked numbers...and the BING FERAL PIG was born. it is shocking to feel this board under my arm. it feels like what i might have come up with if i could magically create what my mind is looking for.

this is the hog wallow.

today is the day!

well... it sounds like today is that day. i am very excited about today!

WOW!!!!!

what the F_CK?!!!!!! matt keeps sending me these quick shots of the board in progress!! thank you matt!!!!!

what can I say?! I have never been this stoked for any board!!!! should be ready VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in designing this board, matt and I focused on tradition. we put function as the highest priority, and aesthetic second. as far as function, we're designing this board to feel stable, while simultaneously going where you want it to when you want it to. when considering aesthetic, i thought giving the board the feeling we pulled it out of some hidden BING vault would honor the traditional design we were looking for. fortunately for me, matt's eyes, and mind understand these ideas better than mine ever could.
