Wide Hips and Mouse Ear: The Bing Board

Postby neosponge » Mon Aug 02, 2004 6:33 am

Another one of my surf articles for Road Runner Hawaii, this time on a Bing board. Check out the link (with pics) here:
Wide Hips and Mouse Ear: The Bing Board

Please provide feedback at the bottom of the story if you like.

"You've got a Bing board?" I asked my coworker Dean incredulously. He had already blown me away by showing me his old Brewer gun. Imagine my amazement when he said he also had in his possession an early-60s custom Bing longboard. Plus, he was willing to let me test-drive it!...

Yup, April 20, 1963. Is there any relevance to that date?
