Love to the waves, each other and to costumers. Here’s the shaper and the general manger also known as Matt and Margaret. Together they send out love in different shapes to Cali, the Big Lake, Europe, Japan. Bings are all over the world, so loved by so many.. Thank you for all the amazing Bings!

It’s the most perfect hat I’ve ever met.. Can you belive how happy I was when Margaret gave it to me?! I’m gonna spend my summer in this hat and my flying sandals who came flying to me all the way from Greece.


Right now in Sweden: The hat is absolute perfect for a bad hair day!

They are so much fun together and when they wanted me to take some photos of them they just couldn’t stop joking around. Here they are, in the pool, in the sea, in their seea suits.

Longing for vacation again? The week at Mark & Daves in Nicaragua was like a vacation from the vacation. A house on the beach with unlimited beer, unlimited surfboards and unlimited friends.

It was a detour for us but it was so worth going a bit north again to hook up with these guys. Margaret and Matt who owns and runs Bing Surfboards had gathered a group of people who was gonna spend a week together in a house on a beach in Nicaragua. When we reached Mark & Dave’s villa we got greeted by surfers from the great lake of Michigan, a sergeant from Cali, a young promising surfer pro and a bunch of other interesting people. It was in the air that this was gonna be a great week.


Margaret had packed x kilos with stuff to us from various sources, it felt like Christmas.

Or not normal, I don’t think we will ever be normal after this trip. Whatever normal is… But we’re working full time on a project together that not involves this blog, it’s very exiting! However we don’t want the blog to be filled with boring pictures of us in front of our computers so instead we’re gonna show you the pics from our week in Nicaragua with the Bing team.

Staring with some of amazing Margaret in Seea suits. Margaret has been one of the key figures on this trip. She took us in to her and Matt’s home in Encinitas, California, showed us San O, brought us to a kick ass New Year’s party when we had forgot it was New years, hooked us up with delicious boards, dried our wetsuits and sent them home to Sweden, introduced us to so many amazing people that I can’t even count them, always been just an e-mail away, gave me one of her favorite hats, went out and whitewater surfed INT boards with me in Nicaragua, surfed barreling waves with Petter and so on, so on.. Margaret, thank you so much for being the amazing person you are! You are like our Californian sister and we miss you so much!

Here’s pictures of Marg chilling at the pool in her San O suit and further down she’s ripping in her Swami’s playsuit.

A cute detail on the Seea suits is the tag that is handmade and contains a hair band that actually is the best hair band I’ve used for years! Love it! Made in sunny California! More info at www.theseea.com
